Family Fun

We loaded up on family for the last two weeks. First Mr. Man's mom and step-dad, then my brother and sister-in-law and finally my sister and her cute little family. They literally overlapped their stays... we felt so spoiled to have constant company and we tried to make the best of each group's visit. We ate good food, played lots of games, enjoyed splashing and relaxing in the hot tub, checked out the campus, explored the beautiful mountains and trails around us, went raspberry and corn picking and much more! Mr. Man also got help with a few house projects from unsuspecting visitors {insert evil laugh here}!!!

Now I'm preparing myself for the lonelies. I sent my third child off to school last week and I am inconsolably sad about it. I'm hoping I can get through it and not do something drastic like pull him out and homeschool him (always at the back of my mind as he cries the whole walk to school).

Neither one of us is crying... but we have that same "holding it all in" fake smile.
I mean just look at his sweet little (very young) face as he waves me goodbye on that precious of all "first day of school." I can hardly handle this.

This week I have a small list of projects to tackle with just The Toddler around for company, and am also hoping to make a friend or two (though I KNOW, it will take me a year to get settled in here!) Am also going to start planning our ten year anniversary trip and apply to school (yes, it's my turn now!) So hopefully I'll stay busy and happy in my empty house.

Thanks everyone for coming!
