No apologies, no regrets.
Sometimes life directs your energies elsewhere.
This guy turned eleven and is no longer our "little" Ben,
measuring 5"2" last week.
He's been playing a lot of Minecraft this summer.

The cute girl sporting this new pixie cut is our very own Claire,
now fourteen and starting high school this week.
I think I saw her twice this summer! LOL
She's mostly in her room talking to friends or playing Sims.

We made it to the beach this year,
to the beautiful Oregon coast.
I'm so happy when I'm there.
I'm pretty happy when I'm here too.
