I’ll admit it. We’ve been BAD. VERY BAD. BLOGGERS!
So, I apologize. And I give you a special wrap up of the summer post! As always, we are busy folks and we did a lot. So here’s a taste of SUMMER WITH THE GILMANS!
We went camping for Casey’s Birthday!
We hiked Mount Megunticook, and lived to tell the tale!

We celebrated 40 years of marriage with Casey’s Parents!
We vacationed in Islesboro with Mom & Stacey, and took in a little piece of heaven, did a lot of reading and a lot of relaxing!
We celebrated SandyB (my Mom)’s birthday with maple muffins ala Stacey!
We celebrated Stacey’s birthday ala yummy cake!!
Skeeter stuck his head out the window…. a lot.
We repainted our kitchen cupboards (still a work in progress!
Mom and I introduced Casey to the wonder that is Groton!
Carly and Kyle came to visit so we made them lots of bacon, and Stacey put her shoe on her head just for them (well, that and we were playing Quelf!)
And that (in a very tiny nutshell, wraps up the summer of 2011). Now as we head into fall, you can expect an update on our visit to North Carolina to scope our new home state (as of next Summer), adventures in getting our house ready to sell again, and much, much more!!!
