It has been a long time. I guess I just haven't known what to write. It is summer, and we are being lazy, sort of. Maybe it is just the children who are being lazy. Actually we had a really good vacation to Utah where we went to two family reunions, visited the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House, and kept really busy with lots of fun activities.
And now that we are back, Kyle and I have been tackling the list of things that needs to be done around the house. We found an electrician who could fix our electrical issue without replacing the entire electrical panel (hurray!). Kyle has already glued a cupboard door back together and hung the new shade for the kitchen window. Now he is working on replacing some damaged base board in the family room. After that there is some dry wall repair for the kitchen ceiling, repairs on the back door, and removing mirrors in the bathroom (and then fixing the walls), and probably a few more things I've overlooked right now. Eventually there will also be a new side fence, but that is not happening while temperatures are in the high 90s or low 100s. When we get this list finished, I think we will really work on staying on top of things rather than letting them build up.
During the days, I am trying to keep the children busy enough that they aren't picking at each other. Last summer all they wanted to do was play Webkinz on the computer. This summer the most popular activities are riding bikes and reading.
