Special thanks to all who have noticed my lack of blogging and have called, written, or asked in person if we are well.
We truly are well. We have just been soaking in family time and adjusting to our new fall schedules.
To show how well we actually are, here are some summer pictures as proof J:
Cherish getting her ears pierced:
Cherish at her dance recital:
Celebrating the USA:
Hope, our family cheerleader:
The horn blower:
Playing in the tents I made for the children:
Cooling off:
Chillin':
Spending quality time with loved ones:
Travel buddies:
Hope's first rock climb:
Cousin time:
Playing dress-up:
And, since the last time I posted, Hope had oral surgery (with 12 teeth needing repair):
And she did great!
Hope began ballet and tap classes (missing the first class due to being in quarantine before the surgery). She came out of quarantine and got sick this very day.
And, she's pretty much looked like this ever since:
She wears a mask when she is around people--since she is going back under anesthesia at the children's hospital on Tuesday. (We have found this is much more convenient than keeping Hope in quarantine.)
Andrew started 4-year-old VPK, and here he is waiting in the car-pool line on his first day of school:
He was so ready to begin; he never even looked back:
In the meantime, I'm homeschooling the girls, and Cherish now knows cursive. Ugh! There are no more "secrets"--she can read anything! *wink*
Oh, and Cherish began taking piano lessons for the first time, began another year of dance (ballet and tap), and helped paint her bedroom:
We also spent the evening at the beach to celebrate the Autumn Moon Festival:
and spent some wonderful times gathered with family and special friends.
What a blessing it is to have such precious people in our lives!
So, as I stated previously:
we are alive, well, and...
blessed beyond measure!
Thanks for caring!
