Back to Blogging

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.



Own wanted to drive the Banana Bus so he chose the very front seat.

Heidi was really thinking ahead and she took out the back bench in her mini van so we could have a nice warm picnic. It was brilliant!

Heidi's Savanah snuggled up in the stoller. This little doll hardly made a peep all day.

The corn box, a big hit with everyone

Nat,

Thanks for posting the pictures, I'm glad you found a camera you like.

Oh, I am sorry that you are a married-single-mother. I went through the same thing when Jon was doing his surgery rotation. Not excited about residency. Looks like you are having a fun time though, and that looks like a very awesome farm!! So fun that Caroline was able to come out and visit you as well.

Sorry 'bout your camera...that sucks. It did pick a beautiful place to lay to rest. Your farm pics look like the kids wore themselves right out. Hope they took a great nap for you. Take care!

What a fun place. We'll have to go there when we come for a visit. We'll be closer to you now since we'll be living in Morgantown WV next year. Maybe, we'll see more of you.
