Our Family

Back from Vacation

I haven’t had much opportunity to blog since I arrived home from PA and LA.   It’s time for an update!  One morning in PA, Audrey was sitting in a high chair when I mentioned daddy.  Totally out of the blue Audrey started crying – real tears!  I don’t know if it had to do with me saying daddy or not but it seemed too coincidental.  Later that morning I had Russell talk to her on the telephone. 

She was quite happy.

After 10 days with my sister I flew, along with Serenity and Audrey, to Texas where my family picked me up and we traveled to Louisiana to a church camp.  On our return home we decided to go to Carslbad Caverns in New Mexico. 

Very large and vast.  Amazing!  They have laid 16 miles of wiring for lights in the cave.  The Big Room alone is 8.2 acres.  The first people to explore this place were clearly quite adventuresome.  To descend into the cavern 1 mile with only a lantern.  Yikes!!

This is a picture of the Big Room.

What a great time I had getting to spend time with my sister and her family, seeing old friends and finally, the wonderous and curious things that we have right here in the US.

**By the way, we got in free using our National Parks Pass.

    Hi!

    Did you get your notification today? Ours was waiting when we opened up our e-mail this morning. The kids were so excited! Now we're all wondering what we'll be receiving from VF.

    I've been feeling very tired and am experiencing a lot of nausea. I tend to have this with the boys, so maybe we're expecting another boy? I don't know, and i doubt we'll find out before the birth. My dh keeps joking with me that we could be having twin girls and that's why I'm having these exaggerated symptoms. twins do run in my family and I've always hoped for them, so maybe! I'll get an ultrasound in a couple of weeks and maybe we'll know then. 🙂

    Let me know how you're doing on the JT400.
