Hello again!

It's not easy to explain why Colin and I are having such a hard time keeping up with the blog right now... we still miss our family and friends and want to keep in touch, there are lots of interesting things to write about, and we still enjoy telling the stories when we get around to it. Maybe part of it is that it feels odd to blog about our regular, everyday lives- this place feels more like home than like a far-off adventure. It's also a bit tough to sit in front of a computer at home, when there are so many great things to do outdoors (especially now that Cookie and Smiley are bike-joring again!). Hopefully we can get back into the habit of writing, or at least convince our visitors this summer to write a few guest-blogs for us. Hope you are all having a good week so far. We're off to Tombstone and Dawson City for the weekend with Mom and Dad Barrett!

Bye for now,
Love Lauren
