Back to Reality!


I cannot believe the summer is over! Brance went back for training this week and the kids come on Monday. He is still teaching 5th grade Math and Science in Grand Prairie and we are looking forward to an adventurous year! Sorry for the lack of posts, but we have been BUSY this summer. We went on 3 trips as well as enoying seeing Whitney and Scott get married!!! We visited California and Las Vegas (without Wren :), Austin, and Houston/Galveston. Although we enjoyed the trips so much, some of our sweetest memories were at home with Wren and each other. This is the first time in our relationship that we have had this much uninterrupted time together and it was WONDERFUL!!! Teachers do have a hard job, but those summers sure are nice :)! Wren loved having her daddy home with her so much. She got very attached and has been having a hard time adjusting back to reality. Every morning, she looks and calls for him throughout the house. When she can't find him, she shrugs her shoulders, turns up her hands, and says, "Dunno?" I think she is trying to communicate that she has looks for her daddy and doesn't know where he is. I reassure her that Daddy is only at work and will be home soon. Between 5:30-6:00 we got through it again- looking, calling, shrugging... Its good to see how much she loves her Daddy! I am having to adjust as well. I am used to having another pair of eyes to watch our mischevious little imp and its been hard learning how to "do it all" again, but God is faithful and has used this time to deepen my appreciation and love for my husband even more. We both miss him! Well, enough about all of that, here are some picutures of the fun we have had around the house!
