Vacation!

Wow, I had not realized that it has been such a long time since I wrote on here.  Spending so much time on facebook seems to be taking time and attention away from here.  That and not really knowing what to write here. 
The latest thing we have to share would be our late Spring Break Vacation to California.  Joe was unable to get the kids Spring Break off from work so we took them out of school for four days and went on a six day family vacation this month.  It was a great trip and a much needed vacation for everyone.  We began our trip with a quick trip to San Diego to see Mark and Angie and kids.  I really enjoyed them time we were able to spend with them and only wish we could have stayed longer.  Everything was great- the three older kids each had someone to play and visit with, the food, the conversations, the sight seeing, and for the most part the weather.  After our weekend visit with them we headed to Disneyland for three days.  It was the second time for Little Joe and the first time for Kiley and Sarah.  Surprisingly enough Kiley and Sarah were both great for the most part.  Kiley had her moments but those were when she was just so tired.  She missed the parade and Sarah missed the fireworks do to much needed naps calling their names. Overall it was a good trip but I think three days is one day too long for me.  I am trying to post pictures somewhere but there are so many to look through and I am having a hard time finding to best ones to post. 

At this time we are all doing well health wise.  Joe is currently working on a second masters degree.  This is a general History Masters.  He is really hoping to be able to get back into teaching some time soon.  I spend my days doing the things that stay at home mom's do best- cooking, cleaning, laundry, watching tv, and facebooking.  I would like to think that Sarah has finally starting to sprout.  She still doesn't have any teeth yet but we are feeding her more solids.  She is just the happiest little girl and that makes her so fun to be around.  Her little smile can melt the hardest of hearts.  So many people at church just love to hold her because she is so cute.  Kiley seems to be developing in leaps and bounds these days.  Sometime she is just too smart for her own good.  She loves to sing and dance and always wants to play with the "big" kids.  The older kids are on countdown to the end of the school year.  I think the school years seem to be getting shorter each year.  I am not sure what I am going to do with them all summer long.  We don't have any great plans in the works.  I am going to have to get creative and quick.  I am just glad that we are all currently health or at least appear to be.
