Family Time








As soon as we landed on July 4th, we were headed off to my hubby's family's reunion. We spent about 3 days attending family events and spending time with extended family who we see only about once a year. The girls had a great time with all their cousins. The bottom photo is the youngest cousins. The teenager in the photo is the cousin who flew out here and helped out with the girls while we were gone. I'm sure he is glad to be back home so he can 'hang' with other teenagers.

As soon as we made it to our house on July 8th, I was busy unpacking and preparing for Olivia's belated birthday party. She had a swim party for her 7th birthday FINALLY...she has been asking for this since we moved here 3 years ago.

Now, we are settling into a summer routine and planning to spend some quality time with the girls. Olivia had a really hard time while we were gone, more than I anticipated so we are having to address some of the behavior issues and focus on quality time with them. We are also going to try to prepare them for the arrival of their little brother.

Welcome home (real home this time--not just in country!) So glad you are getting time with your girls. By the way--what a cake! I am impressed if that is a homegrown creation! --Kara in KY
