So this past summer flew by way too fast. Kids are back in school and I catch myself yearning for a pumpkin spiced something as we gear up for fall. We did have a chance to take a trip down to the coast for several days and we did Emerald Point one day, but nothing spectacular. We lost Miss Ruby (my great aunt) and we have been trying to spend time with Miss Earnie (Ruby's sister). Earnie is an amazing lady with stories to tell! I love sweet old people that still have a sense of humor!
Emily got her braces and we are waiting to hear when Abigail will be ready for Phase I braces to get her front teeth straitened out. Brandon has been bombarded with farm work and repairs caused by the farm work. Something is always broken, fence needs to be put up, and hay needs to be hauled. This whole "let's raise a herd of cattle" is not as glamorous as one may think! I can barely get him to take a day to do fun stuff because he can't get away from work long enough, and when he does take a day off from his "day job" he needs to help John with one of their various projects. He also is helping coach Emily's fall softball team, so his evenings are booked too! It's crazy! I am dragging him away in October for a quick 3 day weekend trip, knowing that I may not see him until the Holidays after that!
