Alex's Movie

I decided to try to upload a video - we'll see. This is my Alex and her talent as a Gold Belt.

Wow How Time Flies

Happy 4th Birthday Andrew and Philip!

The twins turned 4 today: Andrew at 11:59 am and Philip at 12:01 pm- seems unbelievable. We celebrated by going to the Norwalk Aquarium with some good friends of the boys - Aiden aged 5 and his brother Logan aged 4. What fun -- albeit exhausting.

We had their birthday party a few days ago - much smaller than usual but still lots of fun.

We also were in Arizona a couple weeks ago. The boys had such fun playing in mom's house and yard, not to mention all the toys she bought. The trip to and from was very long though - a 5 hour plane trip and twin 4 year olds is not a great combination. Alex also touched poison ivy just before we left for AZ so of course it popped up just after we got there. But otherwise the trip was was a nice visit with my mom "Dray" her S.O. "Uncle Jerry" and my grandma "Gramma Grape." We also got a brief visit with my sister and her family.

God has blessed us with a lovely and full summer. School starts soon, for the kids and for me. I pray that God will continue to bless us. I pray for peace, and for all people to have enough food and shelter. And now it's bed time :)

I'm FLYing

I have learned about the FlyLady and have begun her routines. It has been really terrific. The kitchen has never stayed clean so long, not to mention the laundry and the toilet! I love the FlyLady, bless her for sharing her experience!

We went to Kendall last week, a little town outside of Rochester. Alex was there for the weekend riding horses and then the boys and I joined her for some fun and visits. They got to see their God Parents, who they called their "Odd Parents" and really had a wonderful time.
