august.....so far

 

 

 

 

August has been a busy month for the Astle clan. All I have to say is...we moved. I think everyone understands what that means- although- moving with a six-month-old was worse than I ever could have imagined. Luckily, we've been able to squeeze a little fun into August amidst all of the tedium.

Lately I've been thinking about...

Laying on the beach...


Going to NY???


Running vs. not running a marathon...


Ten-year reunions make me feel old...


Gigi! Always and forever.

the first of many summer road-trips

So we went to NM again two weeks ago and it was a very short trip but we seemed to pack lots of fun into just a few days.

We headed to our ranch that is about 45 minutes from Silver City and hopped on our four-wheeler(all 4 on one makes for fun).


We went to the old homestead and carved our names on the wall.


How precious.


Here are some of the gang. There's an aunt, a few cousins, some sisters, and a friend or two. It was a regular family reunion- except that a real one would have been ten times this size.




We shot guns.


Gigi was very entertained by her many cousins.


Here's a view of the ranch house.


Garrit even rode a horse- it was a first for him. And I hope that this turns out to be the first of many more very fun road-trips for us this summer.
