It's been a long time and life is still hectic but I hope to sum it up in a few sentences. Keah and Sienne did their Karate camp, Keah got her yellow belt so watch out! Then the girls did horse camp and both loved it tremendously. Zalynn of course is always telling me she can do all this stuff like her sisters and I believe her. The summer is just flying by and soon is Barbie camp so they are counting the days! Bryan is becoming super handyman and is just amazing. Eventhough the used car we ended up buying has a bunch of dings and scraps, it's doing great and the girls have fallen in love with automatic doors.

WE'RE ALIVE

We survived! We had a bad car accident on Monday and it totaled the mini-van and hurt the Honda. I am so happy that we all are still walking. Talking about an eye-opener to being thankful. Now I am forced into car shopping, the van was supposed to last us another 5 years, at least until we all knew that we will be around after December 2012. Anyway, just a short update until a certain normality comes back into our lives.

We are so busy now that the school year is ending. Oma had knee replacement surgery, that takes a long time to recover so we have been trying to visit every day. Tomorrow is the last soccer game of the season and then we have Sienne's karate celebration. It is just crazy crazy. I have been filling up the car with gas every other day! Ouch! Bertha is an awesome watch dog. She already peaks under the fence to make sure no one is coming. We feel nice and safe in our world!

Well it's been a busy couple of days. Bryan is doing some buffing on the upstairs floors and the good news is 2 out of the 5 rooms are done as far as flooring goes. Keah finally lost the tooth, it had been hanging in there a while so I decided it was time to pull it out. Tonight, Sienne had a piano recital. That was so nice, Great Grandmother made it out and it is so great to see Sienne's progress.

We had such a great weekend at Edisto Beach! We and another couple were invited by our friends and their parents to their beach house. We had a total of 7 kids and 8 adults. It was so fun. We all went sailing and swimming and just spent all day having fun. They had a huge table and we were all able to eat together. It was really like a big happy family!

Keah has her first loose tooth! Sienne is already telling her the ways of the tooth fairy. Keah has been so impatient because everyone else in her class has already lost a tooth. On Wednesday we went for a visit to Great Grandmamas and Caleb and Zalynn got to play a bit in the dirt pit. They got so excited they made monster noises and ran around. What a way to spend the day!

We had a really nice weekend with our long time friends..the Meeces. The girls had a blast together. We ran into Susanne's family here in town and they invited us for a fun packed evening. Her family is super nice and we all had a good time hanging with them. The kids had other kids to play with and didn't want to leave (it was a late evening). Too bad weekends are only two days long!
