Georgia on my mind

Well, it's Tuesday night and our last night in Georgia and boy have Hannah and I had some bonding time. I never knew you could play 20 questions for over 12 hours at a time. Chatty Kathy is enjoying the hotel pool at the moment while I get a little quite time pool side. I know some of you were wondering how the men were doing since they were both sickly this weekend. Neither of them made it to work or school on Monday as they still just did not feel up to par however, Todd did try and get to work today but Seth would not go in Day Care. No matter what Todd said to try and make it better he just cried. Guess he was still a little out of sorts with Mom being gone. Todd is going to attempt to coax him in tomorrow and who knows maybe third time will be a charm. He has still not gotten accustomed to going all day in a day care environment and is resorting to the same behavior as when I was working full-time. It would just break my heart every morning to have to drop him off crying. He unfortunately does not understand it is only until the end of July. I guess if hardship builds character he is going to be full of it.

As for Hannah and I we have been to so many stores now to see fireworks that I think I have ruined her for life on ever enjoying shopping again. Her future husband will probably appreciate that someday :) She thought it was pretty neat to be able to go in the backrooms of the stores and pull product to the floor to merchandise on the shelves. When I asked her today what was the funnest thing she has done she said (get this) being with you Mom. Awwww.... That just melted my heart.

As a side note, God is Awesome! Hannah and I were on I85 today going a speed of 70 miles per hour while I was on the phone with a buyer (I know already a bad combination) when a truck in front of us lost it's 6ft aluminum ladder. It was like slow motion, it hit the road just up ahead on the left of us and started skidding our way. I had a mac truck behind me and cars to the right of me but the ladder missed by inches. It did however get caught under the trucks back tires and flipped up on the car behind it and caused a wreck. We were shaken but know that God had us where he wanted us at just the right moment.

Pray for a safe trip home tomorrow and an easy morning for our men. Till next post.

What a week!

This week has been a whopper of a work week! Hannah has been at home with me this week and has been a big help around the house. Seth has been going to day school and is enjoying being around other boys. Hope it lasts....

We have visited the Boyacheck's a few times the past couple of weeks and they have visited us. For those of you who have not read my Bogata post they are the family that just adopted 3 children from Bogata Columbia. It has been neat to watch them play together. The language barrier does not seem to matter in the least. Seth has been picking up quite a bit of Spanish from being around John. They have been swimming in their pool and Seth and Hannah both are beginning to feel more comfortable in the water. So much so that they are both jumping off the diving board! Seth swam so much last Saturday that he had a rash under his arms from his swim vest. Fun to watch but just a little nerve racking for Mom....

I will try and keep up with my posting but with the time of year it is (see countdown clock) they will be short posts. Hannah will be traveling with me in the next couple of weeks to see stores where we will visit with the managers and put product on the shelves. She is very excited but I know it will not be as fun as she thinks. I am going to teach her the meaning of the word "work" on this trip. I usually work from 6am in the morning until 9 or 10 pm at night when traveling during the season. This allows me to cover more ground in less time. Ought to be interesting and I should have quite a few funny stories to share when we get back.

Until next post. Have a happy weekend!

Vacation Pictures!

Okay, I know this is long past due but so much has been going on the past few weeks I have not had a chance to sit down and get these pictures posted. Vacation was a much needed getaway and we all wish we could go back for the summer since it was a little on the chilly side when we were there. It did not matter to the kids though, they were blue and shivering but still having a blast in the pools.

I will try and fill you in on the rest of our adventures the past couple of weeks in the upcoming posts so keep checking back.

Here is Hannah under the waterfall in the walkway tunnel and their bedroom that had a beach view and of course their favorite, a T.V.

Here are the kids at putt putt golf. Can't say that Seth enjoyed the golf but loved climbing on everything and trying to throw the ball in the water. I also added some pictures of Waterscape where we stayed. It was a new resort and just fabulous!
