Back on track!!!

I am pretty much back to normal from the awesome adventure of flying United. I love being back with my kids! I dove right back into the groove of things with summer fun in the rain and swim lessons. The kids are doing so good with their swim lessons. Thomas is a little fish and loves swimming! It is fun to watch them. Brynnley wants to join in so we will be doing a family swim night soon!

Tonight we played hide and seek(the kids favorite) and Thomas said, "Mom your not hiding that good because I always see your hair." Guess I gotta work on my hiding skills. I am loving my little 4 year old boy! He is so dang cute. He came downstairs yesterday and said, "Mom I helped you out by cutting my hair because it is getting long." Luckily it was a chunk that is hidden. I actually couldn't find it for awhile. I thought Brynnley would do something like that before he did. I told him he had a little hole in his hair and now he is so concerned about it and asks if it's better every day. I don't think he will be doing that again! Cutting scissors are not in reach!

Yesterday Thomas said, "Mom I am making dinner for us." He was pretty proud of himself. He had all sorts of kitchen gadgets creating a dish of noodles over noodles. It was delish!

Brynn was trying to help too but as you can see, she just helped create a mess. Well I guess Thomas did too but his was confined to the table. Hey as long as you are all having a great time I don't mind all the messes I get to clean up. After all, I have nothing better to do besides pack, do laundry, make dinner, vacuum, dust, pack.........not much!

I have learned to let many things go.

Avery has always been my little helper and Thomas is following in her footsteps. In fact Thomas was upstairs last night and was gone for awhile(Avery was at the neighbors house) so I was wondering what he was up to so I yelled upstairs and asked what he was doing. He yelled back, "Mom I am just cleaning my room."

Today residency is over kids! Your Dad is no longer a resident! June 23rd 2011. I am so proud of him! He loves you so much. You most likely will not remember this sacrifice but I know he got through it with you in mind. he loves his kids so much. I love seeing him come home from work(sometimes so exhausted he could sleep walk to the couch) yet he always had a smile on his face to greet you or would even come home to take you to the park or play hide and seek. You are lucky to have such a Dad. He has created a great future for you.

We have been so blessed. We owe everything to God. We have and are nothing without him!
