Vacation times

Well we just had our wonderful 3 day Texas vacation this past week. We visited several friends and had a wonderful time of fun and fellowship.

On Wednesday we drove most of the day to the Fitzgeralds home. They have 5 delightful kids and with ours we had 8 kids!!!!! Needless to say it was busy. They are such trusted and loving friends and we are grateful for their presence in our lives.

On Thursday we saw Amy and Caylee. Amy is Rob's sister and Caylee is her 5 year old daughter. We spent the day getting sunburned and very wet by playing in the pool. It was Mandy's first time in water except for her baths and boy was it interesting. I don't think she really knew what was happening.
So all in all it was a great fun day and lets just say that all three of my children were OUT in their seats just after we started the car.

On Friday we spent the night and day with the Whalgrens. Jeff and Lori have a beautiful little boy named Jonathan. He is 7 mo old and two weeks older than Mandy. I think he held some sort of peer pressure over her because she really had no interest in sitting on her own before they saw each other and then..... well she made us all look silly that she started all of a sudden. It was rather comical.

On Saturday we headed home about 6 and Rob had just enough time to pack and get to bed to leave for Pennsylvania the next am. He will be there all week leaving me with the silly girls.



Speaking of today while I actually managed to get a shower at 4pm Brooke comes into the bathroom and proudly annonces that she had stuck a green jelly belly into her nose. I groaned. The last time she stuck something up her nose was an eraser from the end of a pencil and it took 3 days to come out. So I told her to stay in the bathroom thinking maybe it would melt just a little with all the humidity. The next thing I hear is LOOK MOMMY I DID IT MY SELF!!!! I couldn't help but laugh just a little. And of course she had to do it while I was in the shower.



Well since it is 12:20am I think I shall go to my lonely bed and try and get some sleep. Have a wonderful day and may God give you many blessings.
