Holy cow, it has been awhile.
Well, yes, most of the delay is on our part. Realistically, it is all our part, not most. After a hectic week prior to our vacation back to the great state of OH, the long drive commenced. Thankfully, the kids were good for us in the car. Making the long, loooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggg drive up we ran ourselves around and around. After the looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg trip back, in which the kids were again great, we got back to the house. Still standing, still maintaining and we all never realized how sleeping in your own bed will do wonders. :)
The first week home, the kids got through a week of vacation bible school, Amberlyn attending and Cody volunteering during the week. Both kids got the chance to shake the summer vacation up a bit by playing some fun games, learning some things, helping with other kids and making new friends. Unfortunately, Cody managed to pick up a nasty sinus cold out of it. Thankfully with a down week for both of them, they both have a week to recover from all the travel and excitement.
Mom and dad still feel like we are running at top speed after all the vacation prep, the vacation itself and then the dreaded week(s) of recovery just trying to make up from the time off from work. We'll get there. Thankfully these last few weekends have been catchup cleaning, haggling with the A/C unit (geckos plugging up the condensation line causes it to fail....note to self....not fun in the FL summer) and just fighting the rainy season for the yardwork. But we'll still take it.
No new pictures to post this time. Hopefully we'll get some up after we download the camera.
OK all, sorry for the delays in posting. Promise we'll do better this month!
