Blog for the family blogs

Kids are great. Jane is dying because everyone is moving to Washington. I just feel incredibly lucky that we will only be 11 hours away. That is amazing considering the last 12 years we have lived days and days away. It will be SWEET!! If we ever get there.

Funny story- I went with the kids to H&M the other day to get a bikini top to go under my swimsuit. I have a more than ample chest right now and my friend Amy says that my swimsuit (when I'm not wearing a tank top over the top, which I was) says "I want action" more than "modest mormon mom." So... until I am done nursing I am going for the layered look. Anyway, went to get a top. Tons of bikini tops on hangers covering one wall. Sadie looks around and says, "okay what size?" I look down and Sadie has both her hands spread out over my "chest" "okay, this size." And she walks away with bear paw hands to find the perfect top. Jane and I were dying.

I have a mosquito bite somewhere on my ear. It hurts, I look like Hitch or some wrestler with cauliflower ear.

It is very hot and very humid here. We have two fans running in our family room almost all day every day. It's still beautiful though. Yesterday Ellyn's respite person came with me so I could take the kids to the pool. I had a pleasant surprise. Ellyn can push off the bottom now and with floaties on she swims like a little fish. She kicked herself all over the pool. It was awesome. Now I can take the kids by myself. I will post some pics that Suzanne took of all of us later.

Well it's late. I have been trying to wake up early and get stuff done for the move while the house is cool and the kids are asleep. Sawyer and Ellyn were both doing a great job sleeping through the night- until last night.

A New Family Picture that does not involve unshowered bodies or matching clothing

D-Day, 65 Years Ago Today

I am in awe of all of the brave men that fought on the beaches that day. Their courage is something I cannot even comprehend. I feel very privileged that our family was able to visit the beaches of Normandy and get just the tiniest glimpse of the sacrifice made by so many. I am so proud of our American soldiers, time and again they step up to the plate and do what is asked of them. Thank you.
