In the mean time...

I have many photos to share, but since they aren't on the computer already I know I will just delay if I wait for them, so I will post without for now.

Last week was vacation, which was a blast. We spent time at the local museums, had fun eating out as a family, went to a library summer skating party, enjoyed ice cream (and ran into another family we know), spent time looking at flowers, and a bit of time underground (the boat ride was the kids' favorite part!) and had an actual adult (no kids!) meal for our anniversary thanks to some grandparents. We also went to an aquarium which we plan to go back to over the next year... We went bowling one day, and drove up to the Bridge of Flowers and saw the Potholes and glass blowing (at North River Glass - no website?) on a different day. We continued driving north and showed the girls that there is a Springfield, Vermont also (happened to run into a group of missionaries that day at Subway - as we were almost done eating the older elder came over and asked us if we were members of our church - so we were spotted). I also finally got the letter for homeschooling (officially) in the mail so we should hopefully get approved and be set to go this next year (Kindergarten is not required in this state, so this is the first year I had to officially seek approval, as Lily is 6 now)

Then we spent the rest of the weekend sleeping, knitting, and watching Dr Who (we just finished season 3 of the newest version). It was sad to go back to laundry, cooking, schoolwork, and chores today....

I did knit during vacation, and like I said, I have pictures, which will have to wait for another day, as the Little Tomato is waking up again. Thank you so much for the comments and emails, I have been really bad about replying to them, but I do SO enjoy them!
