back to school...thankful we can stay warm in front of the fire while we learn!

Cleaning house. We haven't done a through cleaning since last year! Happy New Year....

Celebrating new years was much earlier when we were on the west coast.

Pizza Hut was good.

Great Wolf Lodge

Well, as expected, we are having an amazing time at the Great Wolf Lodge. If you have never been, I highly recommend it....In fact as Bill and I floated the lazy river yesterday I told him we need to make a trip once a year! The kids love it, no sunscreen (unless you go to the outside part), lots of lifeguards and tons of fun relaxing family time! JaneAnne has even had her share of fun riding in the tube with us and playing in the kiddy area. We figure we can convince Hannah that she wants to have her birthday at the Lodge in Williamsburg...We played a lot yesterday, did storytime and were all asleep by 9. After a great night of sleep and and sleep in until almost 9, we had breakfast and hit the water! Now, JaneAnne is getting a much needed nap and Bill and the kids are playing in the arcade.

Talked with the bank today and our file is now being sent to the title company and we will close on Monday at 11! We are all so excited! The trip so far has been amazing and we are looking forward to visiting with the Grahams tomorrow and then off to Kentucky on Thursday to a State Park for two nights! One of those nights, Friday to be exact, we will be celebrating Trey's seventh Birthday! I can't believe that he is going to be seven. I can still remember the day he was born and the joy he brought into our lives....He continues to be a joy and we are so blessed to have him and of course the girls. We love our kids and are so thanful for the time God has given us during this trip to spend with them and to spend together as a family!

WaKeeny, Kansas

We are safely in WaKeeny, KS. We had a great day of driving through th Colorado mountains and the corn fields of Kansas. We will head out early in the morning for Kansas City and the Great Wolf Lodge...the fun indoor waterpark for two days while the dogs enjoy their time at the doggy hotel.
