Home again

Last weekend we had some visitors. This family is very special to us. They were our neighbors from 1996-1999 in KC. They have moved one time since then, and of course we have moved 4 times since then!!!! But they have visited us in each of those homes that we have lived in and this was the first of their visits to us here in this new home. We had a couple of great days to sit around and catch up!



This week I went down to my sister's house. She is getting ready to move to a new house and I wanted to help out a bit. So we spent a good amount of time boxing up mostly her basement. Hot, dusty work, but it needed to be done. Got lots of stuff boxed up and labeled, several trash bags filled and by the dumpster and a huge pile ready and waiting for a garage sale next weekend.

Since all my kids had some kind of commitment or other, I went by myself. Kind of strange leaving my whole family like that, but they seemed to do just fine. As a matter of fact, the house looked so good when I got back and a nice dinner was waiting for me that it makes me wonder if I am missed at all when I am gone!!!! ;)

The 3 older kids went to Schlitterbahn one day this week. For those of you who don't know what that is ~ it is a water park in KC. The original Schlitterbahn is in New Braunfels, TX. Not too far from where we were in TX. We have been to that one many times. The new one that opened here in KC this summer is very small, but they said that it will be huge by the time it is done ~ but that won't be for a few years. Becca has been enjoying swim lessons this week. Well, enjoying it all except for the diving that started yesterday. Not too keen on that part of the lessons. :)

Busy week coming up for us around here. We start school on Monday and I still have lots to do to get ready for that. My neighbor goes in for cemo on Monday and I know that we will be needed to help her out. (S and Z will be helping her out today) Next week we are having a "coffee and dessert" night here at our home for about 30 folks. But I will tell you more about that later!
