Home from camping!

My Rah is home and the house is back to itself!  It sounds like Sarah and her best bud had a great time camping.  As she describes it they investigated many a duck and tadpole in the little lake they camped by.  They found much to do and seek out even with grampy and grammy about.  I think they had as much fun just playing in the pool there with the kids as anything else.  Considering it was 5 days, the girls seem to have done pretty well.  Sarah says they didn't even fight "very much"...which is pretty good for girls. She came back all suntan and happy.  I'm so glad she gets this time to bond with her grandparents and friend.  Summer is magical when you are a kid! (Oh, and the puppy is soooo happy to have his kid back)

Day 2 - no kid

Sarah is off camping with grammy & grampy.  They do this quite a bit in the summer and you would think I would be used to it but I'm not.  I still come home to a much more silent house than I like.  I suppose it is the story of what is to come as she grows up and spends more time out of the house. 

On the good side of all this...the puppy is almost back to his energetic puppy self.  The swelling is down and his attitude is joyous!  See, he's even smiling :)

My Kidlet is Home!!!!

You would think that a week of "freedom" would be wonderful.  Don't get me wrong it was really nice to come home late, kick my feet up, and think of dinner's that were mom and dad friendly :)  Sarah went camping with grammy and grampy and now she's home.  We are taking advantage of having her spend a lot of time with them right now, so that when we move (yes, I am thinking positively) she will have been able to build up some memories until the next time.  We missed her....it seems she grew a whole inch while she was gone!
