Pretty Faces

We had a wonderful weekend, just relaxing and playing. It was great! Our last weekend before Volleyball games start up, so we tried to make the most of not having any schedule to adhere to.

We did LOTS of playing at home: light-saber fights, beauty parlor, dodge ball on the trampoline, etc. It was really great! And the outside playing will get even better as the weather starts to cool off this week, hopefully.

We are back into the weekly grind today, so I was reminiscing about our wonderful trip to WDW and thought I would post a couple of pretty faces for you to enjoy.

I am proud to introduce: Pocahontas and Dino Boy :)


Have a blessed week!

Hiatus

Let me just say that I cannot believe that almost two months have gone by since I last blogged. Time sure does fly....


Well, to get caught up- we spent the end of July and beginning of August enjoying the last bit of summer and preparing for the start of school. I was able to get most of my organization tasks completed that had been on my to-do list and we started school off on the right foot :)! The kids are absolutely LOVING school this year! Alex is happier than he has ever been and has a wonderful Kindergarten teacher. Anna is growing up on us, and is really enjoying being a Fourth-grader. She gets to change classes and is loving her four different teachers. Happy kids=happy parents!!

Here they are on their first (rainy) day:


Well, just two weeks into the school year and we were off to Disney World!! We had an AMAZING time and really enjoyed just getting to be together. Alex said, "I am just happy to be with my family" at least 50 times on the trip. We prayed for God's blessing on our trip and He honored our desires with some GREAT family time. Once again, we realized the importance of family vacations and getting away from all the must-do's so that we can focus on one another. I will post some pics soon, but for now you can enjoy the video :)!

After a quick work trip to Nebraska for me this past week, we are fully getting into the swing of Fall. Alex started swimming, once again, and is really enjoying it. Anna started Dance for the first time in 5 years and loved it. She will be starting Volleyball soon. We are planning for a fun fall with lots of time outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Blessings on your week!
