It's about time!

O.k, I finally have time to post a quick update and pictures. Let's see what's new and exciting in our house....well, we bought a brand new 2008 Sports Master Travel Trailer on Father's Day. It sleeps 5-6 people, has a good size shower/tub, it's 22 ft and about 4500 lbs. We'll put the dirt bikes and bicycles in the back of the truck. We are so excited, it's perfect for our family and we are looking forward to our first camping trip the weekend after fourth of July. I'll post more pictures of the interior later. I had to go to a cosmetic surgeon and have a few moles removed that were of concern. No fun, but the results came back all clear. So, that's a relief. This is a never ending process for me I'm afraid. Such is life. The kids are doing extremely well and as busy as can be. Colin is excited and getting ready to start preschool here in town at PEP. He'll go three afternoons a week starting in September. Max and I volunteered to help on clean up day for the school and then he'll have an orientation at the end of August. I am looking forward for him to spread his wings a bit, meet new friends and give mom a little break. At the beggining of the month I welcomed another child into child care. It is my friend Olivia's daughter, Brooklynn. She is 5 years old and here for the summer. She is such a joy to have and so much fun. She brings a great deal of creativity and imagination to the bunch. Colin and Tiana enjoy the games she comes up with to play. We had a full on restaraunt in the play room last week and then an animal hospital. They are all having a good start to their summer. The three little ones love to follow the big kids around and get into their business (sometimes a little frustrating for them, but they are all learning). We have had some nice weather, despite all the smoke in the air. We're outside a lot, in the spinklers, water table or little pool. Anything to stay cool and have fun. Colin is doing so well. He has learned how to write his name with many other letters of the alphabet and is becoming quit the artist himself. Especially when he draws pictures of himself or other people. I love children's art. Luke and Ava get their fair share of trying to participate. They climb on everything, couches, chairs, the kitchen table and now the counter top. There isn't time to sit still around here unless they are all down for naps. I love that time of day. I feel a nap time coming on right now.
