A leave of absence . . .

Over the past two months, I have taken a close look at how I spend my days.  One blaring truth was quite apparent.  The ratio to computer time to chore time was in no way even.  The time I spent on the computer greatly out weighed the time I spent doing chores.  Now, you might think this to not be such a big deal, but when the chores pile up and my stress level reaches a boiling point, something has got to give.  So,  I took a slight leave of absence from the computer for the past month.  I have found that rationing my computer time is the key.  Chores were finished, quality time was spent with my family and most of all, my sanity was left intact for the month.

Of course because of my break, some very important blogs were left unwritten.  For instance, we went on our annual trip to Mammoth.  The baby turned 11 months.  Oh and she also turned 1 year!!!!  What in the world???!?!?!?  So I will catch you up over the next few days.  But for now I will leave you with a few pics from our trip to Mammoth.

Kaydance was a rockstar.  She took to camping like a pro and had a blast.  Unfortunately my family was not able to come with us this year.  So it was different and new.  I found myself kinda lost for the first couple of days.  However, with some nice hikes, some much anticipated Looney Bean Coffee and some great runs around the town, I found my stride and enjoyed myself throughly.
