The kids survived the first week of school and are enjoying it so far. That is until the homework gets underway and today is the first day for both of them. I was only able to get one picture of them before heading off the first day and Carson refused to have his picture taken once at school. Do you think they were embarrassed, their only 6 and 9? I really thought I had at least a few more years with Carson. Kynlee was fine with it so maybe it's a boy thing.
Now that hunting season has begun and we're outside city limits I'm hearing the sounds of the shotguns that surround us, including our own. Scott got home late last night and came straight in to get his shotgun and was back outside. This was about 8:00 so he had a little daylight left. I went outside and there he was sitting on his tailgate with shotgun in hand just in case a dove happened by. We sat there together for a few minutes watching and enjoying the cool air. I really felt like a redneck sitting there on the tailgate with a shotgun in the driveway no less. Things are definitely different around here! I told him why did he have to go off to go hunting when he can sit in our own pasture and shoot all day long. I guess it's just not the same, at least I tried.
Amber and Robert are settling in fairly well next door. At least the best they can living out of their RV while finishing the apartment. Should be the end of September. We're keeping our fingers crossed. I know it's hard for her having three kids and one who is crawling in an RV most of the time. Needless to say it's been a little hectic around here on the weekends with everybody coming and going trying to help where they can. Did I mention kids? Lots of kids and people. It seems for every adult we have two kids, talk about crazy!
Last week after school Kynlee and Carson really enjoyed having their cousins as neighbors. Carson has Caleb to play with and Kynlee gets to help with Kelsey and baby Chloe. She is a little mother and I see so much of myself in her at that age. She'll be wanting to babysit for money in no time for everybody she can. She loves babies and really is great with them. She can change a diaper, feed her a bottle and now even baby food. I'm so proud of her and the helper she is! They love walking back and forth from house to house and it's nice seeing them more. Amber and I are getting a chance to spend more time together too.
Stay tuned.... more to come soon!
