It's Been Awhile

What can I say, this summer has flown by. It has been a very busy summer for us. I haven't been as good at posting what is going on in our family. I looked, and that last post was almost over a month ago. Since Gerald got his Iphone he has been better then me at posting what is going on. If you really want to keep in touch maybe you should befriend Gerald on Facebook. =)

This week we found out that we are expecting baby #3. It was kind of a suprise to both of us, but we are both happy and looking forward to the new addition to our family.

Mya is looking forward to starting school next Monday (the 24th of August). Gerald went and helped her pick out a new backpack and Mya couldn't understand why school wasn't starting because she was ready to go. We will find out who her teacher is on Friday when we go to orientation. I have mixed feelings about her starting school. I think I will mourn for about a day and then enjoy the rest of the school year.

This week has been very interesting. Gerald, Adam, and Jessica have all went back to work. That leaves me with Mya, Keegan, Aiden, Colten and Keegan all day long. I have been trying to think of things that we can do to fill the day so that they aren't getting bored and driving me crazy. Yesterday I pulled out the swimming pool in the backyard. Just when they started getting bored, Aiden found a poor little frog that was unable to get away. It kept everyone entertained for another half an hour, but the poor thing had to prove how long he could hold his breath under water and he had to prove how brave he was to jump off the "high dive" (or Aiden's hand) into the pool of water below. The frog eventually outsmarted Aiden and got away under the fence when Aiden put him in the sandbox to dry off.
