taking a break from racing bikes down a big hill near our cabin

right before going back to work we took time out for a family weekend of camping. the kids had a blast making new friends, riding bikes, using the bathhouse and spending lots of time outdoors. we were fortunate to have awesome neighbors which made for an even better weekend. it was such a fun time and we hope to do it again next summer (without the chiggers)!

lost her first tooth. hmm, hope i wrote down the date

Let's see it has been far too long since posting. i guess that is due to summer coming to an end and being back at work. Sounds like a good excuse being that it was january when i last posted. i now have a first grader and a prek 4er -not sure how that happened! it has gotten a bit busy since august, but our school year is off to a great start for all.

She's 6!

My little lady turned six recently-I can't believe it! We had so much fun celebrating her special day (weekend) with family and friends. I am so thankful for 6 years with my sassy and silly ECM. I love you little lady!

We had such a wonderful time with our dear friend, Vivvy. She was here from Scotland for two weeks. We are so looking forward to the day when we are able to go visit her and hopefully it is not in the too distant future!!
