Back safe and sound

We are back safe and sound.

Spencer's surgery went well. One eye has 20/20 vision and the other has 20/30 vision. The doctor was unwilling to say how long it will take for the second eye to finish changing but he indicated a couple of weeks... Only problem with that is Spencer is suppose to start work in the morning, which he can't do without 20/20 vision.

Good news is, if it doesn't end up 20/20, they will go back and work on the eye again for free.
Hopefully that wont be necessary! He says he can already feel it changing and it has only been 24 hours since the surgery.

Well, am needing to get the children down for bed.

Talk soon.

Who knows

My life has been a little bit crazy here... Alright, I know, I tend to be a little bit dramatic,... on occasion. However, I Have proof. Here it is!
Our Fort:


Picnic at the sea:
Tide pools & hermit crabs:








The good wife deed (in other words Salmon festival):
Sorry I didn't include pictures of the rock band or the 'drinks'.





The trolley ride:




Here is us waiting in a very wet fog for the fireworks; including Jonathan on a leash (second picture):


Yes! And here is the famious fire works:

Nope, after two hours in a wet, wet fog, we couldn't see a darn thing.
Here is us on the car ride back to the camp site after the fireworks:







The last day! Finally the sun comes out!









All of us stuffed (litterally) back into the car for the ride home:

Yes, that is what it takes to get all of us and our camping gear into my van!
Opps! I forgot, here is the camp site:

Here is Anna's first braid:





Glass beach:



Anna's new dress, thank you Aunt Dorthy:


Anna's new friend:

Young Marines Boot Camp:








Young Marines Boot Camp Graduation:


From this day forward, I sincerely promise, I will set an example for all other youth to follow and I shall never do anything that would bring disgrace or dishonor upon my God, my Country and it's flag, my parents, myself or the Young Marines. These I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself. (Semper Fidelis)



The young marines only gave out four awards at boot camp. Andrew recieved one of the "Can Do Attitude" Awards.





Anna's first time brushing her own teeth without help:
Grandma made a beautiful baby blanket:



Oh, this one you have to figure out on your own... Tell me this is not out of the ordinary,... even for my life:








Cream of the crop. I am trying not to put a label on this one because I wouldn't want it to be pulled up in a search,... So make sure you read the words on the beast behind him. (If you haven't already figured it out by the previous pictures.



Finally home safe and sound. Andrew is back from all of his adventures. We hopefully have pictures of kids camp on an old fashion film camera, but knowing me it will be a while before I have them to post.

Thats it! Well, as long as you don't include all of the normal stuff, that I don't take pictures of, like theripies, and setting up peoples brand new computers and installing everything under the sun, laundry and braking my washing machine, Having to do all of this vacation laundry and my parents house (thank you Lord they live so close) Vacation Bible School, kids getting sick & running 104 fevers,... re-infection of an ear on one of the kids, Oh, and now, blogging. :-) Actually I am really grateful that my life is back to normal enough that I CAN BLOG.
Love you all,
Heather
Ps. Pray for spencer, eye surgery is tuesday!
