Yikes!

Has it really been a week since my last post? I'm overwhelmed to say the least. It's been a month since I've had to take care of both of the girls by myself - thanks to all my wonderful helpers - I forgot how hard it is. Trying to get back to our routine, unpack and keep the kids in order has been exhausting. Todd went to sleep a half hour ago and it's only 9:45!! Here are some pics from our last days in Iowa.

Annual Shrimp Boil

Yum - Thanks for breakfast Dad

I think I got a big one with my super cool Barbie pole

Mom - This is why you have to strap me in... I'm an escape artist

Joe Heather and the kiddos stopped on their way to Okoboji

Veda at Adele's baptism. I wish I could get away with putting bows in her hair all the time... usually she pulls them right out though.

Veda and Ryan jumping on the bed at 10pm... good luck getting them to sleep. At least we got to sleep in the next morning... since I consider 7:30 sleeping in;)

This is a keeper. The main house doesn't have a bath tub so we are still using the utility sink in the laundry room for baths. I thought Veda was growing out of it but we were even able to fit her little buddy in there with her. I think she has another year or two before she needs to get over her fear of the shower.

Nemo on the deck by the lake and eating sweet corn... Heaven.
