It's been a while

I have been told it has been a while and that i need to update my blog. I don't really have any pictures yet but a lot has been going on.
Every one is very settled into the school routine, who knew I just need some structure to my days to get over 5 years of depression. I am busier and happier than I have been in years. I feel more like my self than ever and am so happily busy. School is intense and all consuming, but I am learning so much. Kaylin is beginning to read, which makes me so proud and amazed. Alyssa is really growing up and acting so big since starting school. She doesn't always let on to how much she knows, but I know she is learning a lot. Stefan is a great Mr. Mom! He gets the girls picked up from school, dinner made, home work done, and on Mondays, he gets them to ballet. I am so grateful and blessed to have such a supportive and flexible husband.
My sister has been here for the last two weeks. It has been fun spending time with her. Last Friday My dad, Grampa, and Stefan had a pumpkin carve off. More pics and stories to come on that!
I realize this may be a more boring post with out pictures but pictures will come I was just to lazy to do it tonight, so stay tuned for pictures!

Camping at Park Schloemp

I gotta say, for convince and amenities, Camp Schloemp is the best! Who can beat clean air conditioned bathrooms, electricity, and a great level spot right by the swing set. We promised the girls we would take them camping this weekend the only problem was you can't wait until the day before to book a site. So where is a family to camp where no reservation is required and there is always a site available, well, their own back yard, hence Camp Schloemp.

We cooked hot dogs on the grill, made a fire and roasted marshmallows and made S'mores the real way, no microwave used this time! The girls got to stay up late and sleep together in the tent. For breakfast we had S'mores cereal. There is nothing wrong with S'mores for desert and then again for breakfast, it was awesome. it was a great experience and every one had a blast, the girls and I even got to watch the sun come up.
