Yea, we have internet back at our home. We have not had internet for the past week, so I am a little lost. I have realized that I rely on it more than I should. A quick catch up...the girls are back from Odessa and had a wonderful time with Grammy and their cousins (they were both very excited to show off their new dances), Jake flew to Houston to spend a weekend with Chris, and I am thinking about possibly going back to school (why not if FedEx will pay a portion of it). However, the school decision is based on a few factors and is just a thought right now, not a plan. The kids start back to school in about a week, so I want to squeeze in as much time with them as I can. It seems like this summer has flown by.

As the summer goes....

Being married to a school teacher has a few perks....one of which being summer. Summer should be a time of relaxing but it has been busy, busy, busy for our family. We just got back from Texas to see Jake's family. It was a nice trip. Jake, the girls, and Will left Monday, June 27th, and Christopher and I flew out Friday, July 1st. I was unable to get off work for the week but needed to go help Jake drive home with the boys because we left the girls to spend a little time with Grammy and Papa. We left at 5:00 a.m on Tuesday and I had to leave for work by 8 p. m, plenty of time, right? Wrong, we had a blowout on the way home and ended up purchasing 4 new tires. As Jake was changing the tire, I got the baby out to change his diaper. I sat on the floorboard and when I got up, my bum was soaking wet. We had it looked at when we got home and the air conditioning was leaking into the car instead of under the car. The one part that was not still under warranty was the part messed up. So, our trip home costs an additional $1200 than planned for. Other than that, we are great. I decided sometimes when it rains it pours but thank goodness for umbrellas and rain boots. Not only, did we have malfunctions with our car, our home air conditioning unit quit cooling. Seth and Sydney are here right now and it makes me a bit sad that my girls will miss them but at least I get to see them briefly.
