We have not fallen off of the face of the earth. The kids and I are in upstate NY on Lake Ontario, enjoying a much cooler summer and many more family visitors than we would have seen in St. Louis. It has been a busy two weeks, made more so by the addition of the baby to our usual family vacation.
He is now two months old- here is the official picture:
