And we're almost off.........so we've been planning since about April to go on this camping trip to the dunes with the kiddos...I know...some may say we are completely nuts...taking 3 kids under 7 on a camping trip...but...it's only one night...I'm hoping we can hack it......we shall see....luckily it's camping... and it's only one night...so there really is no need for makeup, shampoo/conditioner and most "body cleaning" products/ lots of clothes....who wants to get all cleaned up only to sweat in a tent and get up the next day and go to the beach....pointless....so that significantly decreases the amount we have to take....food however...is a must and options are also a must...so the majority of things we are taking is food and tent-gear. We are hoping for a successful trip...oh and Jacob is coming with us!! So not only do we get to spend some quality time with our smart, talented and high quality nephew but the extra pair of hands will help too! When we come back from camping our summer will be on the fastforward setting...with Drew, Mel and Walter home next week and swim lessons every night...not to mention a make-up t-ball game...and work for me...it's going to be a busy one....followed by a busy week of Bible School and outings with friends that are in town and coming from out of town...then our trip to Vegas....a week to get ready for school to start....and then......school starts and we skip it to go on vacation in MI....whew......I don't know if I can handle this speed....hopefully I can hit the pause button in there somewhere to actually enjoy the summer :)
Update on Gideon- he hit two home-runs during his t-ball game a few weeks ago and we are currently (on the suggestion of Keith's cousin Kelli) almost done reading The Chronicles of Narnia...which both Gideon and Lucy (because her name is in it) have had their ears glued to the past week....(I did change the beer part to root beer for the kids...gotta make it pg)
Update on Lucy- She's doing great in her PT....she's having more body awareness....able to swing on the stand-up swing without falling off...jumping keeping her arms at her side....coloring a mural while standing on a teeter tottering board (I don't know if I could do that) and riding her bike better every day. She's also excitedly awaiting preschool this fall :) :)
Update on Ella- she's a stinker as always ....her favorite phrases right now are "leave me alone" and "get away"...in her manic state she also says " I loves you mama" and "I need to hold ju" when she wants to be held....Keith and I need to buy her a Ken barbie as she has been making her girl barbies kiss eachother a lot :) :) :)
Keith's keeping busy at work with lots of new responsibilities and projects....he seems to be enjoying it but feels the stress of living up to expectation.
I am doing ok...feeling old and out of sorts but ok :) I've been having some medical issues the last 6-9 months and haven't felt very good most of the summer so far but hoping that the five-million drugs I'm taking and trying to be positive will help all that :)
Hope all are well and having a great summer
