My sister agreed to go camping with me so we could have a camping experience and not by myself. I was so excited for it and thought it would be so fun. Then I think I was just kinda grumpy and it wasn't as fun as it could've been had mom (me) had a better attitude. However, Aunt Katie was great and we went on a little walk in the woods with the kids and threw rocks in water, set up the tent, made a fire, roasted marshmallows (Annika loved that part!), and got to bed at a reasonable time. It was fun, I was just grumpy. Maybe we can do it again and I won't worry so much about having breakfast or dinner and getting the fire to work...it is fun to be in the mountains as a family and I'm really grateful my sister--who is not a huge outdoor enthusiast--was so willing to go camping with me and have fun with a grumpy mom and two adorable, but normal, kids. Thanks Katie!
My parents got a garage for the first time in their married life excluding the time they lived with my mom's grandmother. My mom has wanted a garage for years and she always makes goals and has pictures drawn up of just what she wants. She's done wonders with this house. The garage is no exception and we have people stop and tell us how nice it looks. The kids are watching the construction through their bedroom window.
I'm not sure when this picture was taken but this is a sweater that my mom made before I was born. She worked on it after her first baby died and I wore it all the time. There are lots of pictures of me wearing this sweater as a girl. It's pretty gender neutral so Caleb has worn it some too.
