Keeping busy...


Been too busy to blog lately, our summer has been crazy busy. Since my last post I went to Utah alone for a weekend visit, came home and drove out back to Utah with the kids (all by myself!)the very next weekend, drove the youngest three and my nephew Josh back to Cali a week later and welcomed my sister and her family a couple days after we got home...yeah, crazy busy-but in a really fun sort of way!
We are having fun, enjoying the last weeks of summer and getting ready for school.
Oh yeah, and while his family has been traipsing about here and there, Davey has been hard at work on his "shed." Uh- it is 20x30' people, not a shed in most people's eyes but it might be a great "doghouse" for him to visit!

This month is our Gotcha Day month so I have been working on a care package for Maya's birth family and I am so overwhelmed with emotion this past few weeks as I have watched such deserving people become parents to amazing Taiwanese children. It just brings it all back...more on that soon, I promise!

It was good to see you Janalee. I love your blog - can't wait to see more of it. I forget that kids continue to grow up after we've moved away. I can't believe Spencer is old enough for a driver's permit. WOW.
