I frankly don't have time to even begin to tell you of our adventures during this hiatus of a break from the blog. Long story short...too many stories to write and too little time to tell. We have recieved much love of family and friends. Hopefully pictures will soon follow.
3 most important stories to document:
1) Asparagus hunting in Aurora:
Me: Let's go hunt asparagus in the garden boys!
5 steps later, Kenner: Hey Bub! Let's go hunt asparagus in the garden.
Bub: Kenner, do I have ears?
Kenner: Well, yeah...
Bub: Then I HEARD it!
2) Kenner on his interpretation of Mulan.
Kenner: Hey mom in the movie they say, "Let's go kick some honey buns." Did you know what that means Mom?
Me: Uh (playing dumb), no what?
Kenner: That means the bad guys.
Me: Ah, yes, yes that is what that means!
3) Ike is eating oatmeal and rice cereal and sleeping through the night in his OWN bed. He is now too big to sleep in the little rocker beside my bed. He is rolling over all the time. When mad he almost resembles a crawl. Watch out big brothers...here I come!
I am still LOVING my job, having a great summer so far, and got my garden planted. I resorted to the simple garden this year: tomatoes (lots of them), green peppers, canteloupe (boys' choice), random pumpkin from last October's decorations, and zucchini. Our strawberries are becoming red and the rest of our flowers looks amazing! We were able to share some of the hostas that we split from Aurora a couple years ago. They don't look too amazing right now...but they will next year.
Hope you are all doing well. I am anxiously awaiting a vacation in a couple weeks to Colorado to see my cousin Casie get married and get TO SEE MY SISTER ANNIE and her family!!! Countdown is on.
I am not promising any posts...but hopefully as Ike becomes more independent and the laundry does itself I can get back to blogging.
Thanks for checking in!
