Where have we been?

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. It's been quite the busy summer, and August ended up with much more activity than we had anticipated.
This past weekend, Lara's mom visited us on Saturday, we went to the Carnegie Science Center with cousin Todd on Sunday, and Lara's dad came to visit (and deliver some chairs) on Monday. We also had a realtor come over to check out our house, as we're looking to sell it and move closer to town.
The previous weekend, we were visiting cousins Christine and Mark in Morgantown, WV, and the weekend before that we went to Jamestown for cousins Brian and Jeanna's wedding. The weekend before that, we were in Portland for anniversary celebrations. And between all these weekends we've been cleaning, sorting through boxes in the basement, hosting the occasional movie party, getting the video camera repaired, learning new video and audio editing software, and trying to fit in a bit of relaxation here and there to counterbalance increasingly stressful work environments.
So all that's to say that we haven't had quite as much time as we had hoped to work on completing the wedding DVD or sorting through the 500+ photos we've taken since the California trip. On the bright side, however, weekends in September are looking nice and clear right now. Apart from possibly selling the house, that is...
I'm feeling personally responsible for your missive of guilt. I apologize, hijo! Sure looking forward to the fruits of all your (plural -- including the lovely and intelligent Lara) hard labor. Have a stress-free day. Remember this ... too blessed to be stressed, too blessed to be stressed.
Your punishment for this heinous crime will be that you must successfully use the word "missive" in a sentence...oh, wait, you already did! You are absolved, then. It was a good excuse to provide some semblance of an update anyway.
