wow its been awhile!

Let's just say its been too long. However life has gotten easier at our house. We got a new Nanny and what a difference that is making! HAPPY KIDS all the time!! No more screaming when we leave and no whinning because we are bored when we get back, they are usually sleeping because they are exhausted! I do have to say that i truly felt the powers from above with this decision. Thank you GOD!
Shannon has been with us 2 months now and she makes the most amazing crafts with the kids, she made Wade an awesome father's day gift from the kids, piggy banks, painting, face paints, stepping stones, takes them for walks, swims with them, lets them get dirty, taught ashley how to look for Rolly Pollies and the list goes on.
I love this girl, i hope she stays with us forever!!
The best relief of a working mom is to call to check in on them and to hear them giggling in the back ground, it saddens me not to be laughing with them, but at least i know they are happy and are having fun!
SInce the last post we went to truck pulls, camping,Ashley started ballet lessons and lots of little things around the house. Enjoy the photos, we miss seeing everyone and wish we visited everyone near and far way more often.
