Here's what we've been up to.....

This summer has been a whirlwind of activity. Chris spent the last 2 weeks at church camp.  I'm glad he is doing something he loves but we all miss him something fierce when he's gone.  He didn't come home completely sick from allergies this year.  That's a BIG improvement!  The first week was okay because the boys were busy.  The second week I had to work 3 out of the 5 week days.  Towards the end they started crying for Daddy.  You might think they liked him or something. :o)  We did spend one day and night up there visiting last Monday and Tuesday.  I think Daddy was missing his boys too.
This week I worked Monday and Tuesday so we had a little play time yesterday.  This morning we met Shannon Altic and her kiddos at the Legends to play.  The weather was just perfect!  God knew I needed a relaxing day.  Plus I love my friend Shannon and we haven't seen each a lot lately. (Did I mention that this summer was busy.)  The boys LOVED to see the dinosaurs! 
Afterwards, the boys & I went to Target.  I had to get some arch supports for my shoes for work.  If working so much this week has taught me anything, it's that I have high arches and my shoes don't.  I got Walk/Fit arch supports at the recommendation of one of the girls I work with.  I'm praying they work.  I couldn't hardly step down on my feet when I got home last week.  It says it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get your feet used to them.  I'm hoping for a good result. :o) 
Chris was told by the doctor to get more "active" this week.  I knew this was coming and I've put it off way too long.  We're both going to have to start exercising.  I want to be around when my kids grow up.  It's a huge commitment but I believe we can do it.

Summertime....when the living is easy!

I decided to take the boys to the park yesterday by myself.  Previously that did not work out so well, but I'm always ready to try again.  They were really good!  No crying when it was time to leave.  Here's a few pictures of them having fun.


Come on....take my picture Mom!

So today Noah woke me up saying...."Mooooommm I wanna go swimming!"  About 10:30, I began scrubbing up their little pool.  We filled it up and....

 So far, it's been a good Monday!  "Summertime....when the living is easy!"  Now it's naptime and I am working on the bulletin for Sunday and thinking about having a snooze too. Have a great summer everyone!
