update: we're ruthless

No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth (well, any more so than we already were considering our current location). I've been very slow at posting because we're busy packing and moving (into an awesome beach house!) and getting into the swing of the school year and dealing with the loss of the kid sister/shopping companion/babysitter/general household entertainment (apparently Ruth thought she needed an education -go figure). But be sure to keep checking the July postings because I have tons of great Arts Festival pictures that will eventually make their way to the blogosphere.
