Oh, my goodness, it's been awhile

So, it's been FOREVER since our last post. We've had a TON of fun since May. We celebrated our 10th anniversary at the beginning of May by going to DC. This is just one of the many we took on the little underground train between the congressmen's offices and the Capitol building. We were SO blessed to have Jason's mom come and visit to watch the kids. This was the beginning of a VERY busy summer for us. We had visitors or were visiting almost every weekend for the entire summer and into the fall. Someone I know laughed when I told them how many folks we had visit and said, "Don't you know, that's what happens when you move to New England. EVERYONE wants to visit." It's great!! Makes me feel like I've traveled a whole bunch even though we haven't (compared to before we moved here.)

This was Karin's birthday. It's the last time we do it with so many kids. The rule of the same number of kids as age is PERFECT. Twice that leads to a meltdown before the party is over.

In July, we went to the New Hampshire Farm Museum. It was AWESOME and probablly something we'll do every year on their family weekend. . . SOO neat!!

We also had the siding redone on our house. We had it done by a company called "Forever Siding. Just so you know. That's because it takes them forever. UGH!! They started in July, did not finish until September. A big portion of the problem. . . they CAN'T find workers. For a difficult economy, people certainly aren't willing to do what it takes to get and keep a job.

More later. . .
