Our awesome little family:): Busy summer.

Sorry I havent blogged in awhile, boy it's been a busy summer. Wayne's father passed away a couple of weeks ago, so he will fly to Australia in a couple days for the funeral and will be there for 2 weeks. He seems to be dealing with things fairly well, which is commendable since he quit smoking last month also! I was hospitalized last weekend for a terrible gallbladder attack. Surgery was scheduled for the second week in August, but 2 days later I had another attack, so they did my surgery on Thursday afternoon. I came home from the hospital the next day and am doing well. I'm sore and tired, but my mom has been staying here helping out with the kids, thank goodness, don't know what I'd do without her! The kids are great, hope you like all the new pictures. Ken started walking last month and it only took him a couple weeks before he had it all figured out. Now he cruises around like mad and he realizes he can reach things that he couldn't before. Needless to say, the phrase "no Ken, you can't have that" must get said over a million times each day. Emma is doing well also. She is excited to start pre school this fall. She has recently learned how to write her name and is very proud of that. Our chickens are laying about 8 eggs a day now, so many of our friends and family have started to recieve free eggs from us. Hopefully life will be back to normal soon. Will post again when I get some more time.
