New beginnings...

Here's to new beginnings. I'm sure everyone is aware now that I will be divorced next month. The kids and I are doing well. They stay with their dad 1-2 days every other week and are with me the rest of the time. I spent the summer re-connecting with some old friends and one special friend that I now proudly call my "boyfriend." Here are some pictures of our new beginning.

Yep, just Ken and I, being silly as always.

Ken helping out my boyfriend Aaron in his yard.

The kids and I went with their dad to visit his relatives in Perth, Western Australia in August. It was a fun trip. Here are some pictures.

Ken's 3rd birthday and summertime stuff.

Wow, sorry I haven't posted any new blogs in awhile! Had a super busy summer... Ken celebrated his 3rd birthday this July. Our friends Kristin and Mackenzie were visiting us from Georgia and got to help Ken enjoy his birthday. Grandma Marilyn took us camping for a few days on the icicle river near Leavenworth, WA. The kids love to camp! My poor Emma broke her arm in August and had to be in a cast for 3 weeks. Good news is, she still had the cast on for the first day of school (1st grade now), this was very exciting for her:) Ken started school this year too. He goes to the Little Country Preschool 2 days a week and just loves it!! See pictures below.

This is where we stick Ken when we are camping and he's being naughty:)

Emma with her cast. Grandma got to be the first to sign it.

The kids got to practice their casting skills in the icicle when we were camping.
