Our past two weeks

I know I have been gone for a while, out to the hinter lands of Texas, down to the coast and back to the hinter lands again. It was an exciting previous two weeks. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins and spending time away from the apartment. But we have at last returned home. We are slowly getting ready for the close on our house and our eventual move. The sooner the better in Isabelle’s opinion, she is ready to go. Until then we’ll have to think of things to do to keep us busy. I digress; here are a few highlights from our visit. The kids had lots of fun, at Vacation Bible School, Bear had the run of the place and he new it. The cousins all helped Grandpa build a teeter-totter for the back yard. I think Grandpa was most happy to have the task done, since one of the kids always wanted to step or climb on the board while he was trying to screw it all together. And of course lots and lots of swimming. Isabelle has now graduated to being able to swim without her floaty swimsuit. I am so proud of her. She is doing such a great job and does not seem to be afraid of the water at all. She is really staring to grow up.





In between the hinter lands week; we traveled down to SA for the weekend, so the kids could have some grandparent time while Mom and Dad went to a wedding. One of my college friends got married down in Corpus Christi; it was very beautiful and nice to have some adult time. And of course the kids swam and went to the drive thru safari with Oma and Grandpa. They had lots of fun on their visit, but were excited to see their cousins again.
