Update...after a year!!

Ok so I have been seriously slacking on the whole blog thing. But a few people have asked me to start doing it again, so I am going to give it a try.

I guess the most exciting thing that has happened recently is that we moved to Douglas. It's much smaller then Casper, but still close enough that we can zip over there in an hour to shop and of course see family! So far the kids are really enjoying it. Sophie is over the moon since she got her own room, and Gabe is excited to have a room big enough to turn around in. The little girls are just rolling with the flow for the most part. After the initial shock of not having Sophie to help them clean their room up anymore, they have gotten much better about not making HUGE messes in there LOL. Stephen and I are enjoying our huge master room and bath, not to mention the walk in closet. The biggest adjustment for all of us has been the fact that we have neighbors. While we are loving our new little home, it is very odd having people so darn close. My kids have no comprehension that they make enormous amounts of noise! Hopefully we will eventually find a different lot or a little piece of land in future. But for now we feel blessed with what we have!

Sophie's Room still in need of some curtains and Wall decor....

Gabe's Room. He is very excited about his new camo bedding!

For the most part we just enjoying the lazy days of summer. We have been playing lots of cards, spending time walking the river, and going to the parks. None of us are really sure what to do without all of the activities the kids are usually involved in. But that will change soon enough. Gabe starts football in August (which we are told is sort of a REALLY big deal here.), Sophie is going to give Girl Scouts a try and Mary is going to start Gymnastics hopefully. I'm not sure if Sara is going to do anything, we'll have to see how it goes. She might have enough on her plate adjusting to pre-school 3 days a week. One day she is really excited about it, the next she doesn't want to go. So her and I are like two pea's in a pod, because one day I am SO excited she is going to preschool and the next I am ready to bawl my eyes out because she is going! We are praying, that we can find a church we like with an AWANA program. All of my kids love it so much and even Sara can be involved which is Awesome!
