Finally..I am back.

It has been so long since I wrote on here..lots have happened since then as you very well probably know..time does not stand still.




School got out in May, Sofia graduated 4th grade as an all A student, again making the Honor Roll..the only way she rolls since starting school..lol.


Lukas graduated from Kindergarten with flying colors..reading up a storm and ready to head into 1st grade as soon as he can.





Summer was splendid, we did very little, just relaxed, swam at the pool, visited friends and enjoyed a summer of R&R, especially since last summer was so hectic with the complete house remodel.

 

We also had lots of playdates and went to a few Vacation Bible Schools..

Pippin showed in his first show at the Reliant World Dogshow..he did great, so long as I didn't handle him.. He was grumpy with all strangers approaching his momma..so I asked a friend of a friend, Stacey Hayes, to handle him for me...and they both did wonderfully. It was a very big show to be entered as his first, he took it with stride.

Sofia also gave showing a go, and handled Honey Moon, Stacey's Ibizan Hound, beautifully in a Junior Showmanship Clinic for beginners





All in all Summer was great..the only big downfall was us not being able to go home and visit family in Sweden...but Mormor came to see us..

It was nice to have her visit us for three weeks, right in time before the kids went back to school again..

 it is so bitter sweet knowing your mother and best friend and the grandmother of your children is so very far away..it kills me a little every time we say goodbye..

More has happened since end of summer...of course..but there is another day and entry for that, until next time..live and love your simple lives folks...it doesn't get any better than this.
