Saturday we went to visit the newest member of our family...Carrig! There is something so miraculous about gazing on the innocence of a newborn. I love my babies :) I think that Caitie and Ciarnan (5 and 7) have found a way to see the words on iPad Hangman......they are beating me every time!
We had the nicest rains on and off all day Sunday. Overnight the green is returning to our lawn and there is a delicious earthy smell permeating the outside that had been missing for most of the summer!
Tim will go to the Quarry today to burn some of the fallen timbers from the cleanup of prior storms and I will most likely join him at some point :) It is finally wet enough to burn!
My brother and family are going to the Amish Country today but I opted not to go...it would mean driving an extra car for just me and @3.89 a gallon I just couldn't justify it. They will have a beautiful 84 degree day to enjoy it.
I had the funniest conversation with Kollier (5) last night...my daughter called to tell me that Kollier wanted me to call her, I think to tell me that she had gone to her first overnight with a friend, Natalie. I called and proceeded to talk about everything that is in her little life...the dogs, the cats, the weather, her friend... on and on....finally she said "do you want to talk to Kaeden? this is a long phone call.....I about rolled on the floor laughing....kids are so darn truthful :)
Take time to kiss your babies!
