Catch Up Post

It's hard to believe that summer is here already.  We have been getting hit with record high temps and it looks like the heat wave will continue for the upcomming week.  We really have not done too much over the past couple of months.  Chris' job has been really time consuming so we rarely have time on the weekends to do much as a family.  We are hoping that will all change now that he is starting work with a different company tomorrow.  And as Chris says, anything will be an improvement over what we have had to deal with over the last year and a half.  Looking forward to getting my family back!!

Let's see, the kids and I have spent lots of time at the park and the zoo.  We also just pulled out the big ole water slide this weekend and had some friends over to play.  Chris' buddy Skip and his wife Beth came out to visit us recently.  The guys went golfing and the women folk tried to shop, but then Wes got really sick and actually came down with strep so that pretty much ended the shopping for us.  Oh, the kids also recently had preschool graduation, which is where I believe Wes got the strep.....anyways, I had no idea what a big deal it was going to be.  It was like 300 poeple by the time you got all the kids, parents, gradparents etc - crazy!

We are heading to St Louis for the 4th of July.  Looking forward to a few days off.  The kids are excited to see their grandma and grandpa and all the cousins.  My friend Sharon and her family are again teasing us with the possibility of them visiting in August.....love you guys, but I'm not gonna hold my breath just in case :)

I will try to post pictures more frequently over the summer......until then, here are a few shots from the past couple of months....
