Wow! it's been a while, a whole new world!

The kids and I did alot of traveling this summer, beach, mountains....we had a blast! We went to the Neshoba County Fair to watch Aaron race... eat funnel cakes, (and lots of red dust!) and be completely blown away by the midway. We decided to ride one ride, and the ride we chose was something we THOUGHT was the Hurricane, or something similar...nope! We were all about to cry before it stopped...we went round and round and round and it would slow down and I'd think THANK GOD!, only for it to start up again....that's the end of our riding carnival rides....it was called Hemalayan....

We enjoyed the horse races. I learned that MK is very good at choosing horses....We were told by friends that we would either LOVE the fair or HATE the fair. We want a house and would love the time spent there, just no more rides....PLEASE!

Kids are back in school. MD and MK are big time 3rd graders now and CC is Jr. High! It still takes over an hour to get through carpool at both schools...gotta learn how to do that better. So far, everyone is fine and happy.

Monogramming has slowed...I've enjoyed being able to go and do with the kids during the summer and not have alot of that hanging over my head, but now, I'm ready to get back into it some.

I'm ready to get my house back in order....one room at a time. Since KP's gone, TG's back, girls are sharing a room again, stuff packed, unpacked, moved, boxes everywhere....it's time for some sanity!

I'm amazed at how we have all bonded this summer. It's been great! This year, I'm the one whining about going back to school. I know, I have to be adult about this. My "friends" have to get their education, right? We are looking forward to their Labor Day holiday camping trip...going to be interesting. We are all calling TG "Daddy"....he's taken on the role for everyone in this house. CC can't date unless "Daddy" and TM go too....to which she says "NO". It's funny! The two of them have really connected. The other two are still just too young and can dish out the pranks, but can't take them.

Well, I hope I have caught up my loyal readers....kinda quick summer summary...things are happening, I'll be better now that the kids are back in school. Please pray for my neighbor BRG, having surgery hopefully Friday! Hang in there, girl, it'll be over soon! Then we can have coffee on your new front porch!
