Whew!!

We thought that once we got back from Texas that things would slow down a bit. That has not been the case. Busy, but an oh so good kind of busy. I went through my camera to get some pics and thought I would share a little bit of our life happenings over the past few weeks. I just love my family! (Sorry that this has to be such a long post but I guess that is just what happens when you get behind.) Enjoy!

This guy came to visit. Met him in the shed one night on my way to get the ladder. He won't be visiting anymore. But I do thank him for helping me get the shed reorganized. That picture on the top right is Tory tormenting him. I don't know why that is necessary for a guy to do before he makes the kill, but it is.

We have also had several visitors. Nana came for about a week and it was such a special treat! Thanks for lovin' on my kiddos so much. We miss you, Nana.

We had a special visit from our good ole' friends, The Willems, as well. So good to see that family again. Note that the girls made sure they made the most of their time with much pampering.

We also made a very quick trip to Frankfort last week to get state seals and authentication for the dossier.

A completed work. Well, at least as complete as we will ever see it. And just a quick update, the dossier received its seals and final authentication in D.C. last week and is currently on its way to Ethiopia! We are on the list! Now we just wait.

And last but not least, A CHALKBOARD WALL!! I have been waiting for this for months! These final pictures also represent the tons of painting Tory and I have done over the last week as well as our prep for homeschool beginning in just a few short weeks. Abigail is going to be in Kindergarten!! More to come on that and hopefully more pics of the completed school "area" when it is finished.

Thanks for stickin' with us!
