Summer Time

Our little Girly Girl

We went berry picking a couple weekends ago. The farm we went to had so many berries. They had red raspberries, black raspberries, and blueberries. Abbey I would say was more into the berries. Garrett was totally swept away by the goats that he could feed.

The kids having a Popsicle after a day at the pool. I admit I bribe my kids with Popsicles to get them home from the pool.

Story Land

Our Trip To Story Land

We had such a great time on this trip. We did miss Daddy, but he was working all weekend so it wasn't as bad as if he was home the whole weekend. Story Land was age appropriate for both kids so it was easy on me. I would say the only thing that put a damper on things was the New Hampshire black flies we experienced. They ate the kiddos up, but Ruth and Jack got bit a little more. They must taste sweet. They only came out at our hotel so thank goodness there was a screened in porch. We can't wait to go back again next year.

Daddy, Garrett and Abbey the day we left.

These were little cars that Garrett could actually steer and control the speed. It was cute to watch him drive.

The roller coaster was Garretts favorite ride. We had to ride it twice because he asked all day to ride it again.

Abbey had a sink bath when we got home.

Before and After House pictures.

I am finally able to post our before and after pictures. We still have a few little things to do, but for the most part we are done. It has been a real challenge to get this all done and still manage to keep our sanity, but Nate and I did it. Through this stressful but exciting project we learned how truly blessed we are to have such a wonderful home. Now since my time working on the home is complete I am going to join the local gym, church, and possibly OWC. I really want to try and volunteer some of my time doing something for others since God has blessed us with all that we have. I am so thankful for my beautiful family and a husband that still loves me after ten long years together.

More pictures will come when I get a chance to actually make all the beds upstairs. This morning was a Dunkin Donuts morning so the kids and I jumped out of bed and got dressed and headed out for some sprinkle donuts and coffee.
