Still Here....

I have been told that I need another post and sometimes that is exactly what I need- a kick in the butt to get things going.

It has been a relaxing summer with the kids as we really don't have that much of an agenda. We are enjoying the luxury of lazy mornings playing at home. By lunch the kids want to "do something" so we usually get out of the house.

Josh got the kids their own poles and now fishing is on the top of the list of things they want to do. Yesterday, we went to Green Lake to fish. Miranda was the expert helping us all with casting and fishing etiquette. Bella was the only one to catch a fish. As soon as she caught it we all ran to her - Bella caught hold of the fish but as soon as it moved she panicked and dropped it on the ground. It started to flop around under my feet and I did the freak out fish dance trying to get away from it. By now all the other fishers in the area were probably wondering why we were fishing in the first place and hoping that we would all be quiet as to not scare all the fish away. Thank God the fish unhooked itself and flopped back in the water to save itself because we were obviously of no use. No one else caught a fish and that's a good thing.

The girls and I went to see Kit Kittridge which was a great movie for all especially those with a little American Girl interest. It was a real treat going to a movie with out Elijah who want to go home 3/4Th's through any movie.

That's about it for now. I hope that everyone is well and enjoying the summer.
