There is no need to read between the lines of my previous post - I was just commenting that we like to come to NJ for 4th of July weekend and that it just happened to be the time I shared news with the family.
Right now we are getting ready for the trip and of course Adam is "sick" - well not really, he just needs frequent changing. But other than that we will be on the plane tomorrow night and will see everyone sometime on Friday.

The real meaning behind 4th of July in NJ
The kids and I are counting the days until we head north for our annual summer trip to NJ. For some reason the 4th of July weekend just works out well. But really it's got so much meaning behind it. In 2003 I came up and told everyone there was a little one on the way. In 2004 I brought that little one up and introduced her to pretty much all of Burlington. In 2008 we came up with the news of a second bundle of joy. So why not spend this weekend in NJ? It really does have a special meaning :)

End of the Year Stuff!
The first two weeks of June (also known as the last two weeks of the year) are a crazy time. For David & Adam, it's business as usual but for us gals it's very hectic.
For me, it's time to wrap up things with some of my organizations and prepare for the next year. I'm getting ready to undertake a couple of big things in 2011-2012. I'm going to be doing the PTA newsletter for Grace's school and will be on the Board for the NC Division of IAAP. Yikes - guess I get it honest (thanks mom and grandmom).
Grace completed the first grade with flying colors and will be a second grader come August 25th. I can hardly believe it. She's back on the horse (both figuratively and literally) as she continues her riding lessons and she's moved up to the next level in swim lessons and will be a "seahorse" starting next week.
Of course it wouldn't be year end without her dance recital, which was today. I'm working on uploading videos to our YouTube channel and will try to add some to this blog. In the meantime, here are a few pictures from today's recital.
