long time



It's been a long time since Team Fulkerson posted on this blog! We blame moving. Please, no comments when we're still blaming all of our shortcomings on the move in two years' time. We'll probably still be unpacking.

I won't even attempt to catch you up, other than to say that it's been a busy summer dominated by home improvement. Please pardon our dust.*

And by dust we mean giant piles of cr*p.



An example of the previous homeowners' idea of "patching a hole." I wish I was kidding.


Moving on....

We were lucky enough to take a vacation to Keystone, Colorado this summer. It is unspeakably beautiful there! Here is a shot of the ski runs. I didn't really know what they'd look like (never been skiing before), or that the trees would be so close to the runs. Incredible!


We had the pleasure of visiting with dear friends from our Misawa, Japan days. Hold onto your hats, fellow Misawa-ans...pictured L to R: Noah, Nate Lovewell (who has the distinction of being the last baby Dan ever delivered!), Emma, Miranda Peasley, Luke, Daniel, Aaron Peasley, and Tim Lovewell. The last time these kids were together they were preschoolers! It was surreal - they are nearly all taller than I am ! Great kids, one and all!





Leah reading to Baby. This photo shows off the mullet she managed to grow this summer! Yay, hair! :)

You may have noticed in the shots of Luke that he doesn't have any front teeth. Again. His front four teeth didn't form correctly and for the last three years we've had all sorts of adventures with cosmetic dentistry. We're about to have (another) partial denture put in on Monday. He's planning to spend his Labor Day weekend eating gummy bears and chewing gum!

Amy's brother Eric and his wife Tia gave birth to their precious baby Jude. Our adorable nephew count is now up to three! Here is Emma cuddling with him on the day of his Baby Dedication.

We hope you've had a great 2011 so far! Stay tuned....
