Ummmm, yeah...about that blogging thing

Boy is there a lot to catch up on. And I'm sad to say it's not going to happen in this post. But here's a few highlights:

Girls and I have had a great summer holiday so far - we've been to castles, palaces, strawberry picking and swimming.

Ironman successfully completed his third Ironman in Regensburg, Germany, and I successfully managed to spectate with two kids. We had a lovely vacation afterwards that included ice cream, amazing Austrian hazelnut and chocolate pastries, the Zauberflotekinderspielplatz (Magic Flute Playground), and waaaaaay too much salami to be good for anyone.

We had (yet again) an epic transatlantic trip that involved hanging out in Heathrow's Terminal 3 for eleven hours. Eleven. Hours. Thankfully, it was much less stressful then our previous travel odyssey, given that we were only going back for holiday, and our luggage wasn't lost.

We're now enjoying some quality family time with the first set of grandparents in VT, and will shortly be heading to the other set for a good visit. There's lamb on the grill, and fresh New England corn on the stove. Life is good.
