So, we are home again after a month long vacation in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. We had a great time, but of course, it went by way too fast! The weather here has been nice. Not too hot like I remember last August being. The kids have reconnected with their toys and some of their friends here so that is nice. They're happy! This next week I need to start thinking about getting all those much needed school supplies. Avery is going to start gymnastics while the boys are in school this Fall. She is very excited about this. I debated whether or not to enrole her in gymnastics or dance, but for now she just loves to jump, so gymnastics it is!
This week we should have our friend, Carlos, here from WA. He was in Darin's youth group a few years back. He will be staying with us for awhile so that he can get a fresh start in a new place. Yesterday Darin and I were out and about with the kids so we had our eyes out for some places who are hiring. Hopefully Carlos will find a job quickly. You can be in prayer with us about that. We are really excited about him coming. We've (I've) cleanned out our guest room for him. I moved the queen bed into the craft room for guests and put a single bed in the old guest room along with a dresser for Carlos to use. At least he will have his own space when he needs to get away from the chaos of our family.
Yesterday Darin took the boys on a long bike ride. Darin called about 45min. into the bike ride for me to come pick them up. Logan was tired and couldn't make it back. I was proud of him for lasting that long. I think that's longer than I could have lasted. Avery is just learning to ride her trycicle so she and I took a walk to the park and played instead.
Will write more and post pictures soon! I know what some of you are thinking right now. :)
