I'm a little proud of myself. I was able to overcome being awkward and unsure about vlogging on YouTube and decided to just go for it. And, for a while, I was doing a good job planning out my vlogs and editing them within a reasonable amount of time. After my last video - of my best friends at Disney's Boardwalk - I had a hard time keeping track of time and content to create. Reesie starting kindergarten was definitely hard on the filming schedule. I know I should have just gone right ahead and filmed a huge haul video of the back-to-school clothes I had bought for her (with some goodies for Audrey too), but Reesie really wanted to be a part of it. I had also filmed some really quick unboxing of blind bag toys we had found in the clearance section at Walmart that I never got around to editing.

I just got a little overwhelmed and got off track. Time was moving so fast that I felt I didn't have enough of it. Go here, run there, drive back and forth.

Then, quite suddenly, we solidified our decision to take a last minute trip to Chicago!

I did vlog in Chicago, but we were so busy going to so many places and seeing so many people that there was just no time to edit. I told myself the minute I had some free time I would; I had also promised Ethan's and Reesie's teachers that the kids would do their best to do homework/practice work. Unfortunately there just wasn't any time. It was just so jam-packed that we'd get home around midnight and just fall asleep in exhaustion - but we had such a fun time seeing our friends and family!

I know it's been a week and a half since we've been back from Chicago. I have been busy editing these videos. Hopefully I will be able to upload the first of 3-4 vlogs later this afternoon. I feel so bad that I've fallen off social media. It really does take a lot of work to upload multiple posts on multiple social media platforms. A lot of things have been going on, good things, and I'm hoping to come up with more content in the near future. For now, I have a few videos and a TON of pictures from our trip to Chicago.

I want to take the time to thank all our friends and family who have been supportive of us and who take the time to watch our videos. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel and let us know that you're watching! Like, thumbs up, double tap, all that good stuff! Subscribing is crucial! I know it's been a while and your patience is appreciated. I will be posting a lot again soon!

Love sincerely,

Mich
