What's going on...

Hello.
It's been a while.
I'm here.
Been busy.
Here's a glimpse at what we've been up.
The Barn Sale. (Yes, THE Barn Sale.  Is there any other that's more fabulous?  And wonderful?  And makes you love Kansas?)

 The girls have been enjoying their friends again, now that school is back in session.
Jada's bestie is so adorable.  She's in my class this year- I guess she cried and cried and cried that she wasn't in Jada's class, but I get a nice smile and hug everyday from this little cutie.

Gracie has been so much fun!  Middle school has brought out her funny side.  She has the best one-liners.  
A few weeks ago, 5th and 6th graders had their first dance at our local rec center.  She was so nervous about what to wear that she started asking friends with older siblings about what to wear a full two weeks before the actual date.  This picture shows so much in my eyes.  She's growing up so fast.  And it's fun watching the beautiful girl she continues to be. 

 Lately we're just loving the weather.  
Drive-in movie.
Playing outside after school.
Watching "shows" that our children perform.
Playing Switch-n-go dinos.
Piano lessons.

 The van is dieing.
Which means this mom will soon be driving something that ISN'T a mini van!  
Woot! Woot!
I've done my time in a mini van. 
8 years.
However, I'm not looking forward to the day we actually sell it.  Do your kids get as attached to family vehicles as our's do?
