The Hanks Home: October 2008

I have a variety of reasons as to why I have stopped updating my blog. The first one is that in August we went to Utah and while we were there we lost our camera in the Tetons. I'm sure the camera has a very good home now up in those beatutiful mountains but sadly I believe that it has taken it's last pictures because from what Chris said it is not likely anyone will find it. It has taken me awhile to decide on a new camera. I am very happy with the one we got it has been a lot of fun. The other reason I haven't updated the blog is that after we got back reality hit and Chris was really busy! He is gone all the time it seems. I was warned of this by many resident's wives back in Hershey and now I am gettin my turn. It has made me wish I had offered to help with kids or just drop dinner by once in awhile. So I also have been really busy trying to keep up with everything by myself. I go to bed a lot earlier these days and I find that I often just want to curl up and read a book instead of get on the computer. I have severly neglected my email as well. I am however really excited about what we have been doing lately and my pictures from my new camera. Really I can't complain to much because I feel I have been blessed in so many ways during this hard time. One of those many great blessings was my friend Caroline who came out with her son Owen and stayed with us. Caroline used to live in Hershey when we did. Caroline Heidi and I had such a great reunion. It felt like we were right back in Hershey together. To celebrate we spent the day at a place called Leed's farm and it's like no other farm I've ever seen. Caroline had some great pictures i wanted to post but I couldn't get my computer to work for some reason. Anyway here is what we did.
