a quick update

since back in the good ole U.S of A:

week 1 and 2: adjusting to life in PA with jon's parents. we also got to see one of our very good friend samantha zipp before she left to go back to the philippines to go live in our house! : )

week 3: family get away to cape cod, MA...first time that jon and i have spent time with jerermy's wife lauren and our niece linnea (who turned 2! recently), and jana's husband marcel...so needless to say it was a great time getting to know all the "new barlows," watch all the boys get mischevious grins and just have a good time...

since then...eastford, CT with a few side trips...two of those sidetrips were to pick up my mom and another great friend, sarah harris, who both flew out to see us! life hasn't really slowed down, but at times seems to stand still. and now we are currently sitting in kennebunkport, ME visiting jon's grandparents and a few minutes with jon's cousin andy(sorry if i misspelled) and her husband alex..

what's up til the next post?

aug. 11-13: visit jeremy and lauren in NY and HOPEFULLY GO TO THE BIG APPLE--no excitement there on my part!!

aug. 13-16? visit jon's brother josh and his family in vermont

aug. 16-23 my family is coming to visit and then we will travel back to MI to get settled before zeb starts preschool

i will try to post more frequently again once we have internet at our fingertips...here are a few pics to tide ya over..
