Some Good Problems...

Thistledew camping. Wed-Sat. We had a very nice vacation even though it was busy and it's hard for Chris and I to find alone time together. Chris slept with the boys in the tent and the girls slept in the camper. We also had a cousin visitor, Livvy, stay with us one night and during the day a couple days and she was a good companion for Natasha. She even lost her tooth with us!

Sophia at the ECAS picnic. All the kids had their face painted different ways. It was a good day.

Taking a "shower".

Natasha getting a hug from Chance.

Livvy & Jaclyn seeing who can stay up on the log longer. No laughing!!!

Katya showering. She joked about sending the photo to her friends and saying she has to shower and sleep outside. No mom or dad! She was just kidding!

Chris and our setup. We brought Chris' Dad with us as well, and he even hiked the Stairway to the Giants.

Campfire at night. We really did have a nice trip.

Andri lost his first tooth. I'm so glad we were there to see these first teeth fall out with him.

Some little good problems. Katya & Sophia cleaned so well, that I went crazy because I couldn't find my stuff and felt like the girls were taking over. I said I was sorry and I just need to find new hobbies, like organizing shelves and closets, and mowing. : )

We're having some money problems from going to the doctor and dentist, and wondering what activities we can afford.

Chris wants to spend more time with me, but that means at night after the kids are in bed, or if one of us organizes it, and lately, I'm too tired to organize the date, so hoping that he will take a turn at this.

All in all the kids are getting along well together, we're healthy. Chris and I are getting worn out and need to work on that. We're looking forward to one more camping trip before school. And need to get organized for school, and homeschool.

Love from Alesia and Chris
