I'm BAAACK!

Whew! I finally feel good enough to spend a little time on the computer again. I have been in bed or half dead on the couch for 2 weeks with West Nile Virus (probably). We are praying for continued health and healing. I've gotta say a HUGE "thank you" to my MIL for helping out with food, childcare and laundry while I was down. There's still lots to do...I'll be playing catch up for a while.

The girls went back to school mid August. Here they are sporting their new backpacks. So far they are loving their new school. After all, it does have a GREAT playground. ha ha
We have had a bunch of visitors this summer. Our friends have really blessed us. You all are welcome anytime at our "hotel". Reagan and her buddy from GI are giving me their best smiles.
One of our favorite visitors this summer was Great Grandma from Arizona. Her visit coinsided with our A/C dying so nana and papa not only had Grandma staying with them but our family of 5 as well. We now understand what it is like to have several generations living under the same roof. Certainly, not something we would choose to do long term. Can't believe the summer is over and the school year is already going full speed ahead. Softball has started for Chris and his JV team. The first set of games are Friday. Tuesday, Reagan has her first soccer game. Emma starts orchestra this week. And Olivia and I are enjoying our time together, planning on going to the library right after we get some house work done.
