Yeah, yeah, it’s been a while. I warned you: I told you that August was
going to get cray-cray-busy-bananas and here it is! The first five days of August we were in
Spokane – at the District V Engaged Encounter Convention and seeing Mike’s
family. We had a WONDERFUL trip. The kids did great on the 5.5 hour drive
there. They were each allowed two
questions in the “are we there yet?” or “How much longer?” realm. Matthew used his up by the time we got to
Ellensburg (about two hours away).
Zachary still had his questions when we pulled into the Spokane hotel
parking lot! The Convention – as always
was TONS of fun and also spiritually rejuvenating! I was asked at the last minute to help out
with music – singing and fluting – it was fun to dust off my chops and rock a
mic again. (Let’s face it; I’m always
rocking a Mike though).
Speaking of Mike…yesterday we celebrated our
12th wedding anniversary! We’re
actually ‘celebrating’ tomorrow night with a date/outing. The last several days Mike was actually at a
computer nerd gaming hootenanny/tournament thingy, so he was in heaven. The kiddos and I managed to stay out of
trouble, hang out with friends, AND stay out of the ER! (Unlike our wedding
anniversary last year when we had to meet up with my parents in the ER so that
Kayliana’s dislocated elbow could be popped back in). We’re praying for an ER-free year!
Anyway, back to last weekend in Spokane. We were excited to have the chance to see Mike’s
dear Aunt Dolores and Uncle Harry and we were able to get together with a bunch
of Mike’s fam that we’ve not seen in years.
Everybody’s doing well and of course multiplying – there were little kid
cousins everywhere! Mike’s cousin Sheri
took some great photos too! I’m working
on getting some of these in frames and on the wall.
This week, I’m trying to do some planning for
the school year – contacting Montessori schools to see if I might land another
gig for my Little Ditties Music Academy classes. We’ll see…
At the end of the week, we’re heading to my
parents’ Port Ludlow beach house with the BFF’s for a LONG weekend of awesome,
magic, fun. I. Can’t. Wait. Pictures and details to come!
Too bad Kayli was tired and cranky here! We may have to just photo shop a smile and use this on Christmas cards. :D
She turned the charm back on for her photo shoot later though!
