Finally, all my kids are HOME! We picked up Marley, Payton, and Ethan from Hickory Cove Bible Camp this afternoon. The kids showed us around, we had a hot dog dinner, and a final service in the gym. They all had an amazing week…and, as a result, are all snoozing right now. :)
He rocks the hat, don’t you think?
She will NOT like me for posting this picture, just so you know. She turned away from the camera, and I snapped it as she twirled around. Marley was talking a mile a minute, telling us every-single-thing about her week. Then, she crashed! No matter what, she’s a beauty.
Payton has given me the most “I’m home” hugs so far. That’s no surprise to me, it’s how he rolls.
Dylan’s surprise attack. Notice the leg? He put it on when we got home from camp, and didn’t take it off again till bedtime. He walked ALL around the house, no problem. What a major difference from this morning, when I had to almost make him try it. He even walked upstairs (at first, we held his hands, then he held onto the railing all by himself!) He’s been hesitant about wearing pants with his leg…not sure why? But, he knows that he’ll have to wear them when we leave the house!
We stopped for ice cream on the way home. I had chocolate with caramel, pecans, and toffee. Oh my, was it good.
Our June was slammed, full, and scheduled to death! We enjoyed it all. But, I’m happy that it’s July – all the kids are home – and we can now look forward to five, fun birthday celebrations!

Glad all are back home safely after a couple of hectic, but great weeks. Also, glad that Dylan is doing so great with his new leg. I knew he would want to show off for the others once they got home. You are so right…. Marley is a beauty.

Ya gotta love Ethan’s hat!! Reminds me of the kind of hats my dad (his great-grandpa) wore in the ’40’s! Marley is quite a beauty…and you know what else? In that picture she looks like YOU!! And then there’s Payton…I’m not one bit surprised at all the hugs he gave you. I always enjoy them while we’re at your house, as he’s always generous with them ~
We thought of Dylan the night the triplets got back home from camp, as we knew he’d want to show-off his walking ability to them!
Yes, you guys did have a full June, and now it’s July and the b’day celebrations are over and maybe you can relax some…maybe? At least everyone is back home, safe and sound!!!
