Quick update

It's been a LONG time since I've blogged. We've been so busy around our house. On Tuesday night we welcomed my cousin Lea from Kansas to our house! She will be staying with us through the summer. We've done a lot of work to get her here but it's worth it. The kids already are loving her and it seems much more peaceful here! I know it sounds crazy, but with an extra set of hands and eyes to help with the work and keeping the girls out of trouble, it makes a big difference.

Today is Bryce and Jayden's last day of school. Today is really only a half day and it's field day...or something like that. It's mostly just a play day. As of 12:30 today, I now have a 4th grader and a 1st grader. How in the world did this happen???

Later tonight I get to leave for the weekend with a handful of girlfriends to go to the beach! I'm super excited! We started this tradition last year and we had so much fun that we decided to make it a yearly event. Can't wait!

Well, that is the biggest news at the moment. I want to leave you with a story that Jayden wrote at school this year. They did some studying about shadows and all the kids had to write a story about their shadow. It cracks me up.

Me and My Shadow
By Jayden McKenney
5/2009

One day I was playing outside. We were playing on the swings. It was almost dark.

When it got dark, I didn't know where I was and my shadow got lost. I couldn't see where my house was and I accidentally bonked into it and I fainted.

It was morning and I saw my shadow again and my house.

The End.
