Today we enjoyed a summer morning in the yard together. The kids rode thier bikes, and played with the yard stuff. This afternoon we took them to the river to cool off and have some fun together.
Today we spent most of the day at home for a change. Summer finds us busy and on the go more than I like. We took the time to catch up on chores and do some schoolwork. ( We school pretty much year round.) Maddie got a gift in the mail today from Honey Grandma and she spent the evening showing them off!
For those of you who have not heard the news, Mark wrote first on his Master Chief test in the C.G!!! This means an extension of atleast one year for him as he waits to find out if he advances. The children and myself will be joining him in California off and on for the next year in our (soon to be) brand new travel trailer for some family time together. This is to ease the seperations we have been enduring for the last year. Retirement will come eventually, but not this year afterall. We wait to see what God has in store for us next.
We have recently been visited by these four legged critters. We have not figured out exactly what kind of sheep they are yet. We are not sure where they belong or why they like our place so much, but it has been fun watching them and looking up sheep breeds.
While Melissa is recovering from her delivery and blood pressure issues we have been helping out with the care of the kiddos. We are together every Wednesday and Friday for the day. Today we shared a day in the park followed by lunch and pool time at our house. I think they all enjoyed it.
