Things I've learned

I've learned some things in the past few weeks that I thought I'd share, partially because our computer's chord is having issues so I can't put pictures on my blog and partially because I haven't blogged in a LONG time.

I've learned that.....

*KatieJo has to wear her glasses. Normally we park them for the summer on her desk, so when I took her in to get her eyes checked in June the Dr. asked me where they were. I told her and she said that if I didn't want her right *lazy* eye to start wandering she'd better start wearing them ALL the time....OOPS!

*My kids are good travelers, but even they have their limits! I.E. back to back vacations for almost 6 weeks in a row is a little bit too much.

*Seeing cousins after about 8 years is awesome, and it's great to catch up again.

*Potty training on the road is a J*O*K*E!

*Sunscreen is a must! My poor kids have burnt more this summer than in their whole lives. I forgot after spending last summer under the trees in my parents backyard that we have to have sunscreen.

*Being home is WONDERFUL!

*Having clean laundry to take out of your suitcase when you get home is WONDERFUL!

*Having to resume life as we knew it before we left is nice and sad at the same time....it's always fun to see friends and family.

*My children LOVE animals, particularly horses that they get to ride (my friend Holly's horses)....as soon as we get our new computer chord I'll post video of that that I took with my *NEW* video camera.

*Trampolines with LOTS of cousins on them equal disaster. (Samuel's head + Ellen's wrist (our niece)= Ellen's broken wrist in a cast)

*Meeting the new niece and one of our new nephews was fun.

I think that's all for right now. I'm sure there are more things I've learned, however they'll have to wait for a future post.
We hope you are having as much fun this summer as we are!
