Catching Up.

Last few weeks of school are pretty crazy.  We are now on week two of summer break, and I'm finally starting to feel like we can chill a bit.... a bit.  :)

Just a few happenings:

My husband's brother is currently in Africa, in the middle of a two week stay for a mission trip.  The updates have been so exciting!  I can't wait to hear from him when he gets home.

Last weekend, to help her pass the time, my SIL came up with the kids.  We did a little shopping, the kids got to go swimming, and Sam had headshots done for her "author profile" for her books!

If you're in the St. Charles, MO area, this photographer does a lovely job with weddings, family photography, etc.  To my knowledge, she has now done TWO of her "Beautiful You" campaigns... mini sessions of headshots, just to make a girl look and feel pretty!  :)  Check her out if you can!

Beautiful Life Studio

This week, so far, I've spent the time chilling with my boys.  We've been to the skatepark, to visit their dad for lunch, a little relaxing on the back deck, and some movie watching.  As much as I don't like the "housewife" part of my job (schedule keeping, chore completing, and the like), I LOVE the "stay at home mom" part.  Having the freedom to spend solid, quality time with my boys is what it's about for me.  And they may deny it, but I think they enjoy it, too.  :)

Happy SUMMER!!!!
