It's been a long time...

OK, so 6 months is a long time in between blogs, but since no one seems to read this anyway I went ahead and blew it off while I tried to catch up on life. Was I successful? Well, not really but I'm having a great ride. I am back in school and only have 9 classes until I am done with my Bachelor's Degree. Ashley finished second grade with perfect attendance this year. Daniel finished his first year of pre-school and looks forward to a new year at United Methodist Church pre-school. Ben is still keeping busy with the kids and doing his honey do list around the house. It seems that once he thinks he has it done I just keep adding to it. He has turned into a Jack of All Trades (and a Master of None) :-)

We were able to take our first real family vacation this year. We spent a week in Disney World and then visited my Aunt Helen in Amelia Island Florida for a few days. It was nice to get away and the kids had a great time. No matter how good it is to get away, it is always good to come home...I wish I could say the same for having to go back to work. We did have a great time though, from hanging out with Mickey and his friends to hanging out on the beach, we were thankful for the opportunity to spend time together as a family. Ashley wanted to ride every ride Disney could throw at her. She loved Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios. Daniel rode Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad. Notice I didn't say he liked them...he'll tell you he did but screamed "Mommy make it stop" throughout the ride :-)

I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pics from our vacation. I'll try to keep in touch more often but with school starting for me next week and the kids in September, I won't make any promises I can't keep ;o)
