Gold rush fever!

Christian joked that I wouldn't be able to get up early enough to join him on the river before other obligations. But I did! At the crack of dawn he switched on our light... after a few curse words (from Dane), we set on the road w/ Chloe in toe. 

 

Busy, Busy, Busy!

It's past midnight, and I'm finally relaxing after a long, stressful day. We rushed Mom to the ER this afternoon due to complications from her gallbladder tube! The ER was so backed up after several painful hours she insisted on being released with an appointment in the morning to have it fixed. Dane cooked dinner for us all, but it didn't go over well with two of our four kids. Hey, at least he cooked, which I was thankful for! I'm worried about tomorrow's hospital procedure with Mom, but I'm looking forward to spending time with her. I'll take her out for coffee and share good company on the way to her appointment. My therapist told me today that change is inevitable, and I need to set aside time for myself. So, I'm looking forward to October...I'll be attending a Christian Women's retreat in the wilderness with my fellow sisters!

Back to school widow shopping

She was shocked to see how much things cost. One hundred dollars for a backpack!!!

Bottle that energy!

Fun time with Emma at gymnastics. I have so much fun with each of my kids INDIVIDUALLY!

Beautiful day at Sisterhood!

Fell in love with this little guy!
