My apologies for not posting more frequently of late, but while the boys were here, I was preoccupied with them, and then, during their last few days, Collin came down with a wicked illness.  He was kind enough to share, and it knocked all of us flat for several days.  I’ve been fighting this crud for over a week and am still not back to full speed.  It turned out to be two different things at work at the same time, which is why it ended up being so brutal.  Hopefully, both have run their course, and I’ll be able to get back to work soon.

Overall, we had a good trip, despite the illness.  The boys loved Louisville, and we had a good family cookout for Independence Day.  The boys also got to spend more time with their papaw this trip than any other, and that made me happy.  As usual, the time wasn’t enough, and they both begged to stay longer. However, we got more this summer than last, and I’m hoping to get even more next year.  I miss them now more than ever because they’re getting so big.  I’m missing out on so much, and it kills me.

There’s a lot I want to write about, so I’m gonna try to put out a few entries over the next few days to cover everything I want to share.  That’s all for now.  Hope you enjoy the pics.
