Catching up and "blog-guilt"

I have been stressing trying to figure out how to get all of our news and events caught up on in my blog. Then I started analyzing why I feel the NEED to tell every detail of life since we landed and why do I feel such GUILT when I think about just calling it all a wash and saying we start over from today. And then it dawned on me...BLOG-GUILT.

Two observations:

1. "Blog-guilt" is real and is a new phenomenon that we will be seeing soon on the DSM-whatever as a newly diagnosed disorder consisting of feelings of heaviness and oppression when one's blog is not updated on at least a weekly basis.

2. "Blog-guilt" could simply be my desire to make sure everyone I love and celebrate in my life knows how much they mean to me.

So, in light of both,I choose balance by telling my tales in as many pictures and as few words as possible. And I will do my best to "tell the tales" in chronological order (an anal retentive quirk I possess) - with a few flashbacks as my pleasure wills.

Beginning with this:
That's the gang saying good-bye to us at the airport in Trujillo.

Sigh.
