So I have been on a blogging vacation lately. I use to post monthly updates with pictures and all. I have been a bit lax to say the least.

So what has been going on… lots. We went on vacation to Kaylea’s family home in the Pocono’s, then to her father’s house. From there we went took Patrick to his first real amusment park (Dutch Wonderland), and his first ride on a steam train (Strousburg Railroad). We relaxed, and had a great time.

I am now teaching at CCAC on Thursday evenings. I was hired right after we got back from Vacation to teach Intro to Programming at the West Mifflin Campus. In addition I am still working at my full time job, and working on smaller projects with friends.

 Earlier this summer we saw Dinosaurses at the Carneige Museaum, and visited with family. I have posted a small sample of our pictures below. You can see the rest at http://bsimbeck.smugmug.com.

This weekend, Kaylea’s cousin Jen got married at Kaylea’s moms. For a quickly planned wedding (Kaylea and Jen’s grandfather has ALS and is deteriorating) it was a very nice wedding and Joy’s house and backyard were well suited for this joyous event.

Kaylea performed a reading and Patrick really enjoyed himself right up to the very end where there was an unfortunate event involving the destruction of some cauliflower from the veggie tray….but we won’t talk about that.

Of course as with all of our trips lately there was some drama, like a flat tire, torrential downpours and one freaked out baby at a turnpike rest stop but such is life.

Hopefully some pictures soon.
