Well, I really didn't mean to take a three week blogging break, but that's just how it worked out. Most of you know that my Mom passed away at the end of May. I'm grateful for all of your emails, notes, and prayers. I was able to spend almost a week with my Dad, and we had a good time together.
We got to spend some time with both of my brothers and their families. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with Brian's family and I only got a few pictures with Mark's. Noah (brown shirt) and Cole (yellow shirt) are both three and are pretty much the exact same size. Cole and Hannah really hit it off, as you can see. :)
We went walking in the woods with Grandpa. I love this picture. You can see my Dad holding Joseph, then two deer, and farther down the path a couple of people riding horses.
Uncle Mark had a remote controlled helicopter

Adam came home early because he had to work and he had National Guard drill that weekend. Peter had to get caught up on his Papa snuggles when we got back.
We're all moved now and almost completely unpacked. We've really been enjoying our new home. It's like being on vacation every day of the week! There is still plenty of work to do, so I'm going to keep this short and wrap things up with a few pictures. I hope to start back with school in about a month, at which point I plan to be in a regular routine, which will hopefully mean regular blogging. I hope you are all having a great summer!

Oh dear! I'm so sorry that your mother passed away! I will pray for you all. So glad to hear that you are settling in!
Great pictures, Laura! We certainly understand your lack of posting lately; you've had a lot going on. Enjoy your new house, and I hope that we'll be able to come for a visit soon!
Hello Laura~ what a wonderful treat for your Dad for you all to be together. I'm sure he saw your Mom in all of you and smiled.
What a comfort family can be ♥
Loved the picture of Adam in his uniform holding little Peter. Sweet!
Glad you are settling in well and looking forward to some sort of schedule. That can be so settling for everyone :-)
May the memories of your Mama bring you much comfort.

Laura, First let me say that I am sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I lost my mother three days after Thanksgiving and though she is in heaven't, I miss her and being a bit shefish I want her back, but not as sick as she was.
Second, thank you to your husband for serving our country! Our oldest daughter is in the Army, her five year enlistment will be up in January 2013. She is looking into going into the National Guard.
Have a wonderful week! Looking forward to more blogs!
So sorry about the loss of your Mom. Glad you were able to visit with your Dad. Enjoyed all your pictures. It sounds like you are settling right in to your "new" home. Peter looks quite happy to be getting Papa snuggles. ~ Nikki R
