Our Cruise!!

Pictures from our cruise last month. We had such a great time. Just nice to not have to worry about being somewhere at a certain time, or the cell phone ringing. Relaxing is such a wonderful thing!! Everyone needs some "down time" once in a while and I was thankful that we got to take this much needed vacaction. The Lord has been so good to us and I am so thankful for what he done. God is so good!!!

The Kids

Here are some current pictures of the kids. They are getting so big!! Tori is in 2nd grade now and loves it. We are going for Basketball sign ups this weekend. She wants to try basketball. I am excited to see how much she enjoys it!! Preston is starting to talk a little more. He now says "Tori" and "Night, NIght", among other things. It is so fun watching them grow and play. My mom and I went shopping to get him a winter coat last week. He looked like the little boy in "The Christmas Story". My mom was laughing at me because I said "I'm not going to be able to carry him in this coat!" I guess its a good thing he walks now!! haha

Overdue Post

I have not posted in a while. I guess I have been to into facebook lately. It has been a wonderful summer. We took Tori to Kings Island two times and she had a blast- though these last two trips made me very nervous! She is now tall enough to ride some of the "bigger rides." I remember when I was younger how much I loved the rides at Kings Island. Now I still enjoy it, but somehow get the scared feeling more than before. I guess the thought of having two kids that depend on me makes me rethink a lot in life! Tori loved every ride, but I was scared for her. All in all she had a wonderful time.



Preston is now 16 months old and he is into everything!! So much different than Tori. We have had several "toilet" episodes in the last week. Yesterday he threw my cell phone in the toilet and Saturday I caught him with his little sock off, dipping it in the toilet!! Needless to say, Preston is not allowed in the bathroom, except for baths!!! It has been somewhat challenging-but he is SO much fun!!! Saturday he started saying "Tori"....it was so cute and so plain. Now he will not stop saying Tori. Tori thinks it is just amazing!!



Matt and I went on a much needed vacation without the kids. We went on a four day cruise to the Bahamas last month. I actually recieved the cruise free from my work!! It was a much needed blessing. We had a great time, although we missed the kids terribly. I will post pics soon!!
