Sorry it has been so long since the last update. What a summer! We have been on the go non-stop since school let out and it seems unbelievable that the kids go back on Tuesday. We moved over the summer, Josh's team went to the World Series (and took 2nd place!) and we went on vacation to Branson, Missouri. And in between all that, we managed to get unpacked, the kids to all of their events and I changed clients with the company I work from home for.
Here is a picture of the kids at Table Rock Lake in Missouri. My grandparents owned a house right on the lake when I was a kid and after my grandmother passed away in December, we were told that they wanted to have their ashes spread over the lake. So we met my uncle and cousins from Colorado there in Branson for 4 days and had a nice day at the lake. It was a happy / sad experience. It was really cool for my kids to get to experience a little slice of where I spent a lot of my summer vacations growing up but of course sad because of the ceremony. We also went to Silver Dollar City two days and had a great time. My niece Lauren was there from Pennsylvania so it was really our entire family on my dad's side. With everyone as spread out as they are now, I doubt that we get to do that again.
Kent's parents met us in Branson and took the kids home with them to Texas for 10 days. I go and pick them up tomorrow from the airport in Atlanta. I can't wait! I thought I would enjoy the break, but after this long I'm more than anxious to have them home and have the noise around the house. Although, it wasn't all that quiet as last week we got a puppy from a local shelter. The kids don't know about it so it will be a fun surpise. We have all healed from losing Molly, so it was time to add a friend for Harley. Oreo, the kitten, is tolerating him but Harley is having a great time.
I'll try to do better at keeping this up. :)
