Summer Over

It has been a really busy summer as you can see that I haven't even updated this blog at all. In August we did our week vacation down the shore with our good friends and their kids. Ty, Coop and Shea had a blast with the kids. they went on a pirate adventure and rode rides at the boardwalk and stayed up late every night. Mommy and Daddy were ready to go home by Wednesday. It was tough being in a small House with all of us and the kids not getting to nap at all after being in the sun. The kids enjoyed the beach.....sort of. Cooper would not go in the water all week and that was only topped by Shea who would not even let her feet touch the sand the entire week. so we had to either hold her or she sat in a chair with her feet up. In the end, it was great to spend so much time with our friends and their families as it's not something we get to do much anymore.

The next event we had was our home being flooded following a hurricane. It came up 8 feet in our basement and knocked out all of our utilities. They were all only a year old. Also everything had to be torn out of there. We lost a lot of pictures and all of our Christmas ornaments that we had collected over the years. It was such a tough and terrible thing to go through. As I write this, the family still hasn't moved back home because everything form the basement is upstairs and the cleaning is still going on. Hopefully they will be back in soon and we can do something down there so the kids can use it.
