Today was a pretty busy day for everyone. Carmen ate birthday cake for breakfast! 🙂 That sounds like something I would do! While I was at work, Angela took the kids to the park to play and then to the library. They had a lot of fun. Ben’s favorite things to do are to swing […]
Today was a GREAT day! Most of the success of the day goes to Angela who worked tirelessly throughout the entire day getting the house ready for the evening’s festivities… a surprise 1/2 birthday party for Carmen! While Brittany and Kirstyn helped Angela prepare, Carmen had an excursion to the outlet mall with their group.
Today was a busy but enjoyable day – even for me who had to go to work. Brittany and Zachary both had to go to the doctor for their school physicals (Brittany for sports and Zachary to start Kindergarten), and Brittany also had an Orthodontist appointment to have her braces adjusted. In between all of
Today was fairly relaxing for everyone. We were all very tired from a late night last night again and so we needed the down time. I had my usual morning of church-related meetings but other than that, the morning was fairly uneventful. Sarah also called from Utah and said that she was doing very well.
Today was the day Sarah left for Especially for Youth (EFY). When we got up, I made a double batch of German Pancakes for breakfast to make sure everyone was full. Carmen really loved them, so I have included the recipe below: German Pancakes 6 Eggs, 1 Cup Milk, 1 Cup Flour, 1/2 Cup Sugar,
Today, as seems to always be the case lately, we had a very busy and late day. I took the day off of work to relax and play with the family. We all got up a little late because of the late night card-playing from last night. I got a craving for crepes, so Angela
Today was quite the busy day for everyone! Today’s excursion for Carmen included meeting with the Mayor of Naperville and then going to Centennial Beach to swim and have fun. When they met with the Mayor, each of the students was made an honorary citizen of Naperville. They received a certificate making it official! Today
We had a day today that was loaded with activities! It kept us very busy. I worked from home today and got a lot accomplished. After a wonderful breakfast from Angela of blueberry pancakes, Brittany went to her last track practice. Her last meet is tomorrow. She has been doing very well and we’re proud
Our family had a pretty normal day today. Not much going on with our schedule. Angela, Brittany and Carmen went for a morning run and said it felt very good to get out and exercise. Angela went to a surprise birthday party for one of her friends (Saundra Horne), books were taken back to the
Today was a very busy day for everyone. I probably had the most relaxing day at work! 🙂 The day started off with Sarah’s flute lesson. Angela took the kids to play at a park while waiting for Sarah to finish up. Kirstyn, Zach, and Ben had a great time and enjoyed a beautiful, not-too-hot
Today was a lot less hectic than yesterday. I still had all my early Sunday meetings at the church, but it was nice not having to be anywhere specific after that. Church went very well, although it is very hard for Carmen to follow much of what is going on. Everyone speaks so fast for
This morning after an OK night’s sleep, got up early and walked around the camp. There is some beautiful scenery that I was able to get some pictures of. After waiting for all the girls to get up, I helped get Sarah and Brittany packed up and we left camp and came home. I ended
