Rhode Island

we are back!
and you sit there scratching your head.....where did we go?
no we did not go to the moon, or sail to canada....we traveled a long time to get to new england specifically Rhode Island
it was a fun trip
i will have to paraphrase most of the trip b/c so many many things happened

1. sadie had her first sleep over!
2. silas may of broken his nose...but it healed in like 4 days but he did look like a little football player for a short time which just confirmed the fact that he will NEVER play any contact team sports
3. silas also faced off a rooster and if aaron had not plucked him out of the battle scene i think silas would of won
4. sadie touched a shark and feed a horse shoe crab
5. aaron and becky saw each other for more than five minutes in passing
6. babe has a boyfriend named joey
7. meow meow has learned that she really does love her people (that is us)
8. we visited family and played with cousin emily and sean
9. we miss everyone and thank all our hosts for such a wonderful and magical time playing on the beach, eating peaches, dancing to the dinosaur song and of course ALL the hugs

emily turned 3 while we were visiting and had a chance to enjoy a fun party in aunt holly's backyard
sadie and emily had a blast playing together and it has been hard to get back into the routine of life
but today we started the week as we do every week
kids off to school few tears were shed (mostly from me) ok so perhaps i am the one having a hard time getting back into the work day to day life
since we were gone our garden sported a LARGE number of maters and sadie and silas have been munching away happily
our computer is still in the works so....i will attach some cuties pictures to this post but it may be some time before i get everything up in the gallery
that is all i have time for today.....day dreaming of moving to the mountains painting and picking apples!
