Wow, it's been a long time.  Dodgy Internet and fun filled days have kept me off the computer, but I dusted it off today and figured I should give a quick update.
We spent a beautiful and some what relaxing two weeks at our house after we sent the Eaglebrook boys on their way.  My parents and Jim's dad helped us celebrate the beginning of summer, Father's day, my father's retirement, Jim's graduation, the girl's nine month birthday, Crosby finally getting potty trained, and all the good things in life.  Then we moved to our new home at camp.  It really feels like home, complete with good friends downstairs for all the Fays.  Everything has it's place and our routine has been firmly established.  Lather, rinse, repeat...
In an attempt to maintain my level of sanity we have hired a nanny. It is the third best thing that has happened to us this summer.  I spend time at lunch with Jim and lay leisurely on the beach for an hour as often as Mallory is able to be here.  No crying, no diapers, no therapy, no rushing to do anything.
The second best thing to happen to the Fays is day camp.  Crosby has joined the Crew and it is starting to feel like this life is coming full circle.  People I have known since I was 20 are now caring for and reporting to me on the well being of my oldest child.  Camp is magical and I am so excited for my son to experience the magic of this place and these people.
And finally the best, the absolute best!  We poured our time and effort into finding McKinley a therapist on the Cape so that we wouldn't feel that we were choosing summer fun over therapy.  After many phone calls and even acquiring secondary insurance we found one, and the whole experience was terrible.  So after 4 or 5 tear filled Monday and Wednesday mornings we cancelled all future appointments.  I felt lost and defeated.  Almost instantly our friend B.A. took my hand and showed me I was neither lost nor losing.  B.A. has been working with McKinley for two weeks now.  She has given us her time, shared her knowledge, and instilled a new sense of hope.   It is amazing the effect a single persons kindness can have on the life of this family of 5.
The girls are ten months now, time is flying by.  It reminds me of one of Crosby's favorite sayings, "take time to enjoy the view".
