Shawn's Baptism

What a neat day for us. We are so proud of Shawn and his choices and personality. He invited some close friends and family and we were so happy to have them there.
It was great to have his grandparents there and be a part of the day.

Today was Cara's trial run for her bus ride accross town to her new elementary school. It went well. She is so cute and so ready for school. Her new teacher is wonderful and the school is Great! The only downfall of the day was that I twisted may ankle and fell flat on the ground because my ankle is just soooo weak ! That was when we got to the bus stop so Cara was really concerned about missing the bus because I was sitting on the ground crying. It was hard to pull it together, but I felt so bad that she was worried about me on "her" day.
Then I proceeded to not take any photos! Sorry. I'll put some from the summer on the blog.

Okay, so it has been 3 months since I blogged! I have been so busy and I just can't keep up. We have had a great summer. Shawn was baptized Aug 11 th. We had family here the week before and the week after. While my mom and dad were here they stayed with the kids for 2 days. Nate took me to the Alison Krauss and Union Station concert. We both really like that band and she is my favorite. He did such a sweet job planning and surprising me. We were celebrating our 10th anniversary. The next day we did a ton and picked his parents and Aunt Elaine up at the airport late that night.
I missed the kids and was glad they were in good hands and enjoying time with their grandparents. I would love to take a long trip someday, but would have a hard time leavingthe kids with someone and making it hard on them.
I feel very happy and thankful for everything in my life right now.
Count your blessings!
