Goodbye Summer...

Where did this summer go? Is anyone else wondering the same thing? I can't believe its August, and the kids start back to School in just a couple of weeks. We never took a vacation this summer, yet I think the kids really enjoyed our Summer. We had nothing scheduled, and so it was actually a very relaxing. We were able to go the pool quite a bit. Joseph is still small enough that he would just sleep in the stroller while I watched the kids. Allen took the kids out to the lake and they went fishing, tubing and swimming off the boat. I have started a book, and gotten addicted to shows like John and Kate Plus eight, Project Runway and Design Star. So, who can complain. Overall we had a great summer. We are going to take a quick trip out to see Allen's Parents in Western Kansas, before School starts back up. It should be interesting to see how Joseph does in the car for that long. It takes a little over 5 hours to get there. We won't be leaving for a few days, yet the girls have already started packing. Well, thats all for now. I should get some sleep, since I will be waking up to feed the baby in a few short hours.

Four little Munchkins

Here are my 4 little munchkins, all cuddled together on the couch. This is a typical scene at our house. I feel blessed that they enjoy each other so much. Adelynn is 7 1/2 and will be starting 2ND grade this year. She is the cute little thing in the brown shirt. Savannah in the green shirt with the giant smile will be 6 next month, and is starting 1st grade. Thomas is 2 1/2 and all boy. Then we have Joseph who is almost 3 months old, and very loved by his older siblings.

So, why did I start this blog... Well, its been something I have been thinking about for a long time, and recently a few friends have started blogging, so I decided to jump on board. I figure its a place I can write down all of the funny and not so funny things that happen in a day and share with friends and family. That's about it, so look for more to come.
