Ocean City, MD Vacation Oct 2008

We met up with my parents and Tami at Ocean City, MD during the kids fall break. What a blast, I could live at the beach. I just love it, so relaxing and fun. Here are some pictures from our trip:

Long Time

I haven't posted in a while but we have been busy. Here's a brief summary of what we have been doing lately with a few posts to come with more details. The kids had fall break from Oct 4th to Oct 20th. We went to Ocean City, Md for a week to visit with the Hykes Fam. Last week the kids and I did some day adventures with my sister and Trevor. We went to Aw Shucks a great little Pumpkin patch farm that has a corn maze, small petting zoo and other fun activities for kids. We had 2 fun filled sleep over nights at Aunt Holly's house. We built forts, ate lots of junk food and watched movies. Kyra Joy got tested for some speech issues, we found out that she has a very very mild delay, that with time she should out grow. We decorated the house for Fall with lots of mums, scarecrows and hay. Last but not least, Dan started putting up our christmas lights for our annual christmas tree lighting on Thanksgiving night.

I have lots of pictures that I will post later.

Kaili and Dakota started back to school on monday and Kaili was nominated by here teacher for the TERRIFIC Kid award. She has a special ceremony to honor her on Tuesday the 28th at 7:30am for parents. Dakota has received all green smiley faces this year at school. A green smiley face means that he is behaving and listening to his teachers, what an accomplishment to have all green all year. Great job, kiddos.

I started watching a new little baby girl (Neena) what a joy. She is so precious and such a content child. It is just Kyra Joy and Neena during the day until around 2:15 when the start of the school kids are racing home. Dakota and Sade around 2:15, Dawson around 2:30 and then Kaili and Trevor around 2:45. It gets pretty loud and busy from 2:15 until 4:00 or so. But they are great kids.

We found out last night that Dans Grandfather Landis passed away yesterday so that was some tragic news that we were not expecting. He has been ill for several years and he is in a much better place out of his pain and misery.

More posts to come with lots of pictures.
