WOW!



This is the only picture of Carter where he is smiling in the past 2 weeks! WOW, this has been a tough 2 weeks. I started back to work last week, I went all week! Now I am back to my part time work, and the transition for the boys has been terrible, I am REALLY TERRIBLE! Even on the days I am home with them, it is hard. I remember last year it took about a month to adjust to my schedule and when I home or when they are going to Sherry's school. But this year is much worse, I so hope it will get better each year. On the bright side, I am really going to enjoy my work this year. It is starting off GREAT!!! Our house has been on the market for about 1 1/2 weeks now. We have had a few showings, we just need to be patient. I am excited about the long Labor day holiday. I feel like summer is ending which is sad for my, but my second favorite season is fall (summer of course is #1).

Finally!

Cartr got a hold of a pink marker at Kidsmuse last week. It took 2 days (and 2 baths) to come off. We called him our zebra for those days.
Benjamin - he loves going in Carter's crib after his nap with Carter. They can play for a long time in there (even without fighting).
Okay, after 2 LONG weeks of getting ready. The "for SALE" sign will go in the yard on Monday. Please pray that it will be quick and as painless as possible - ha, ha! I have to say a big"Thank You" out to our family and friends that helped us get ready for it. We could not have done it without you. Thank you, thank you! For those of you just catching up on your reading. We are trying to find a slightly larger house in the area.

We are still here!

Benjamin finally looking at the camera and almost smiling. He has reached that point where he turns from the camera because he thinks it funny. I am having a hard time getting pictures of him.
Benjamin and Carter LOVE falling off onto B's bed. We let them do it as long as they don't jump off, only fall. It will keep them entertained for at least 30 minutes. It is so funny to hear them giggling as they are falling on to the bed.
We got sunglasess, SPIDERMAN glass. It is the sweetest thing to see the boys just chillin out wearing ther glasses.
Carter eating breakfast. He wanted to wear brother bandana from VBS. I think he wore it all day!
Now this little guy is my smiler!!! I can even get a "Cheese" out of him. He loves smiling at the camera.
Sorry friends and fam that is has taken me awhile to blog, I know you are waiting on pins and needles for me to write, ha! We have been busy this week decluttering our house. Last week, Ryan and I decided to try and put our house on the market. So this week, I have been boxing up half our stuff for storage. I am going to try not to simplify our stuff better once/and if we EVER make it to a house. We want to stay in TC, just want a extra room for guest and TOYS! So, keep us in your thoughts as we start this wild adventure. Lets hope it is short and pain free.

Gydnia, Poland

Bridge going into the main part of the city.
On the bridge over looking the water. The main part of the city is to the left, mostly shops and expensive homes.
Ryan and Brad (BIL) went to the seaside resort. This is a picture taken from the wooden pier. The hotel in the back is the nicest hotel in the country, we didn't stay there!
Resort, tons of people were out (it was a weekday), there were games, tons of fun stuff to do. Also lots of speedos!
Communist headquarters during communist regime.
Once again, I didn't know much about Poland. There were under the USSR rule, and when that broke; they still had communist views. In 1980, they had a big union strike. Lots of people were killed fighting for their rights. The government finally gave into the rights of the workers. Still today, this country has some of the best benefits in the world, including a 3 year maternity leave!
