Wordless Wednesday-Back to School Supplies

Back up and running

Today this came in the mail! I am so excited to be back on line again. Needless to say my horrible week a few weeks ago is all better. I have a new computer, Liam got his stitches out, my windshield is fixed and I finished my paper. Now I have to try to figure out the new toy and the boys think that I need to share it ;) I have so much to share with you!

My Week in Review

My to-do list for past week:

1)Call insurance and repair shop to get windshield replaced in (brand new) minivan:2)Say good-bye to Ryan for the week as he left for a business trip:

3)Find someone to fix my broken computer (of course it broke the morning Ryan left for said business trip and he knows all the computer geeks):

4)Take Liam to Urgent Care and dentist due to golfing injury (some other kid's golf club met his face during class):(a poor Liam picture to be added after computer gets back)

5)Finish a research paper that I was paid to write (due on Friday, but on broken hard drive of above said computer):

Technical Issues - Again

Blog posts may be intermittant at best for the foreseeable future as our home computer may have died this morning. We will know more in a few days, but for now the computer will not boot up and gives the same file "missing or corrupt" error whenever we turn it on.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

We are Home!

We made it and I want to write a lot, but so much to do here. I have a lot of stories and pictures to post. Thank you to everyone that entertained us along the way.

Day Ten

This day recaps parent adventures separate from children's because we left the kids behind with Grandpa and Karma.
We had a great day in Portland. I started the day with some local garage sales (didn't find anything that I wanted to carry 2000 miles home though). Then we had some of Ryan's high school friends come over to visit. They have a really cute 9 month old baby, just makes you miss the babies. We were at the best restaurant ever, it had great service and the price was really cheap and great homemade food. (Thanks again Bri and Mel for being such great hosts to us and our friends!) Then it was off the the wedding. It was great to see Scott get married, he looked so happy. We made some new friends there since we didn't know anyone at the wedding. Then we went back to the house in Portland and the hosts were out buying a kiddie pool, so we just sat around in the shade. Too bad it was over 100 degrees that day and they set a record high, we were almost sold on moving to Portland. The evening ended with the best milkshake I have ever had in my whole life from here and some good conversation.
The kids had a great day also. They were in a local parade and they loved throwing out candy. Then they helped with Karma's garage sale all day (Liam loves to make money). I'm sure they were spoiled a bit also knowing the grandparents. All the pictures will be included later due to computer problems.

Day Nine

This is a boring day for blogging and experiencing, so I won't keep you. I packed up in the morning while Ryan was golfing (he didn't beat anyone that day). Then we transferred children to other grandparents' home and left for Portland. As we drove past the mountains, Ryan kept telling me to take pictures, but I don't think that pictures taken through a dirty window at 65 mph would be that exciting, so I used someone else's picture to do it justice.
