It's Over!

Soccer that is! Tristyn is a fantastic soccer player and has so much fun. Every year our fall schedule is wrapped around soccer. Last year both Landon and Tristyn played. This year Landon decided to sit the year out.

We were lucky and Tristyn had the same coach this year that she had last year. She really loves the kids and teaches them how to play the game well. The girls went undefeated!

It has been a crazy month and we are finally on the tail end of it. Now that I have been home for about 3 weeks I have had a lot of time to reflect and think of my trip. I did not think that I would ever consider myself the traveling type but now that I have experienced it, I love it. I hope to go again in the near (within 2 years) future.

It was a blessing to experience the things I experienced and to see how other cultures live. I learned that there is a lot out there to see and do and I am not content to just "be" here anymore.

Here I am in Rome (you can see one of me in Luxemberg at a castle in the top right corner):

It was also an eyeopener to me to watch a military family in action. I don't think any of us here realize what the men and women (and their families) in our armed forces do everyday to make sure we have our freedom. Tim came home the day before we left and we had 24 fun filled hours with him, including being able to watch their family re-unite.


I finally made it home on 9/28 after being delayed 22 hours. I came home to both of Dan's brothers staying at our home for their vacation. We had a great time. Brian stayed a week and Paul stayed for two weeks. Kelley, their sister was able to come and stay one night and we had a great time. The weeks were full of bowling, eating out, movies, shooting guns, shopping and a ton of fun.

Saturday we were able to go to the zoo with just our family. What an amazing trip that was! We had such a great time! The weather was perfect. Probably the last great weekend of the year and we had a perfect day.

I promise to upload more pictures of my trip soon. I have been so busy trying to get back into life.

Winnie The Pooh

Everyone knows that I love Winnie the Pooh..and, apparently, even if I am slow, I am like him - LOL! What a great quiz! :)

A Quote

I read this quote here and just had to share it.

"The child must know that he is a miracle,
that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."

~Pablo Casals

I don't even have to comment, the quote says it all.

Rome

I know I promised pictures of Rome..and, it will happen, but we have switched out our computers and not everything has been put on the new one yet..including, my pictures of Rome. So, as soon as I can....I will upload them and show you a few.

In the meantime, we have been crazy busy over here. Dan's brother's have been here for a visit and we have had a great time. Brian went home today and Paul goes home on Thursday. It's been a real blessing for these guys to get together. Their sister Kelley came for a visit on Wednesday and we had all of them together which was awesome. We got some great pictures of that too..I'll post those soon too!
