Afternoon, ya'll...

how is everyone? I'll imagine that everyone's saying "fine" since that is always our response, no matter how we are really doing. Anyway, not much to report this afternoon.. these pictures of the kids are from the last couple of days. I know.. not an exciting post for everyone, but it is tremendously exciting for the grandma's! Our days are beautiful... high 70's, low 80's.. perfect in my opinion. Just for a footnote, the photos where Selina is trying to blow a bubble, that gum flew out of her mouth a few times while she was attempting a bubble. That same gum showed up in her hair later today, and had to be cut out. So no more gum play for her! Lucky that she doesn't care yet what her hair looks like! :)
Have a great one, everybody. I'll post again when something happens!
Caio!

Good morning!

Happy Thursday everyone! One more day to go till the weekend!
Well, things are slowing down a bit here. We dropped the house on Boquest that we had an offer on. The "issues" that came up were more than we wanted to deal with. Starters, the third room and second bathroom were only accessible by walking outside, so it couldn't be used for a child's room or bonus room. The other bedrm (kids) was small, no room for toys and they'd be sharing it. Etc. etc. And then add to that septic issues, electrical, plumbing, roofing, mold, not pretty. Our house is still on the market, though, so we'll see how things go!
Anyway, we have Thurs night gospel meetings now instead of Weds studies, so we're enjoying
that.
Not much else to report on, so I'll just add that we miss you all and think about you often!

Peekaboo!

Hi ya'll!

I forgot about the pictures from the CA state fair. We went to the fair in late August with Lee's cousins Todd, Heather, Ethan and Ella Humphrey. We had a great time, braved the heat and got outta there by 1:00. We had a fun weekend at the Humphrey's house.. our kids are the same ages (roughly) so they get along great, except when they're fighting. Of course! Three year olds tend to only want what the other one has, and etc. So it was lively to say the least.
