Go.

…well, no anything, I suppose. Getting settled into a new routine with work, school being out and Summer finally arriving in Charm City has proven to be a bit more than I anticipated!

Both kids graduated easily; he from high school, she from 8th grade, and they’re relishing the break and already talking about moving on to new schools in the Fall. Blaine plans to live on campus, which is a little heartbreaking for me, but he’ll only be 15 minutes away, so I expect it will be easier than out of state. Madison is very excited for high school and not wearing a uniform every day, though I fully expect that she’ll try to break the bank on school shopping. A trip to the outlets is definitely in order, given her proclivity to growth spurts.

No photos for this one, it was an impromptu check in, but this should get me back into the swing of things, and back on the radar for everyone’s readers!

Statistics for 2009 report that 50.2 million Americans lived in food insecure households: 33 million adults and 17.2 million children.
