Life Update #6 – Summer Break in Kentucky – family reunion, wedding anniversary, back to school and more
10 weeks of summer break are over and done with and I am a little relieved. Not that I don’t like both kids at home, but this time, basically ALL the neighboring kids were at our place all the time. It was full, loud and exciting and I am honest, I enjoy the sudden peace and quiet that overcame the house as soon as school started again.

Life Update #3
I’ve had a rather horrible week and am so happy it is finally over! Am I even allowed to say that as a blogger, where everything is supposed to be pretty and frilly and full of joy?

Another week is over, time is flying. We could enjoy the last mild and warm days of late summer here, but with the weekend came the cold and rain. We used these last nice days and spent the majority of our time outside….
