Life: (Mommy fail on this week's photo, camera was on the wrong setting and someone wasn't happy obviously) This was the last week of mommy only have 2 days in the office and 3 days of juggling mom and working. On Tuesday I was feeling like I figured out a nap/work schedule. It only took 6 months and I had one day left of that schedule. This weekend we took a trip to Granny and Grandpa's camper at Ceder Run. It was just a 24 hour trip and the weather was less than cooperative even though it was projected to be very nice. We managed with an outing to Wellsboro.

Life: This was a short work week, we spent the holiday weekend (memorial day) with our friends Brent and Melissa (they got engaged) at a house in the Pocono's.  The rest if the week went quick doing laundry and catching up on house work. This weekend we spent time with Heather, Jon, Penelope, Brent and Melissa at a cookout at the Joseph house. It's so fun to hang out with our friends and Bella has her little friend Penelope.  How could I forget that during our morning walk I thought I would tackle upper campus, that hill was serious pushing the stroller. We haven't been back but we should it was an amazing workout.
