We're Back!

I was on a blog hiatus from this one since I was so busy keeping up the surrogacy blog. For those of you who wish to read through that journey- the blog address is: http://www.theirbunmyovenourdream.blogspot.com/.

Since the journey has come to an end, I am committing to keeping our family blog up to date instead. Here is the quickest recap:

The kids are enjoying the last month of summer break before school starts. Carson is now 7 years old and is a fantastic baseball (mesh ball) player. He is a great reader and is growing up so quickly. He just got glasses this month for the first time and looks adorable in them! Gavin is now 5 and is as wild as ever. He loves to be outdoors but can also be found spending hours upon hours playing Wii when we let him. He is not as sporty as Carson yet but enjoys playing t-ball and eating the snack after which is his favorite part. I do have to say though that the kid is FAST! Both and he and Carson are probably the fastest runners on their teams! Morgan is 2 now but acts at least 3 years old! She speaks in complete sentences and will carry on full conversations. She is better on the phone than both boys! Uh-oh, we may be in trouble here! She is slowly potty training now which hopefully will be done by the end of summer. Morgan got a new big girl bunk bed this month which she loves!

We just got back last week from our 9 day family vacation to Clearwater Beach and Orlando, FL. We enjoyed the Beach, Pool, Dinosaur World, Magic Kingdom, Downtown Disney, Disney's Boardwalk, Balloon Ride, Mini golf, Geocaching and so much more! Click on the video montage to see more from our trip.

Next week we are looking forward to another little getaway to include 2 nights camping at Woodhaven Lakes, IL before heading back to Al's hometown for his 20 year high school reunion! Should be a really fun weekend (and even better to have another short work week!)

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! More updates and pictures to come soon.
