IBESR

Our paperwork moved to the next spot!!! We entered IBESR---this is where all our paperwork is checked out and making sure all documents are correct. Pray that there are no gliches in our paperwork or that nothing was filled out wrong. This process takes about 4-5 months. Of course we're praying for the 4 or even 3 months. :)

We received a phone call that we had moved to this next spot while we were on vacation. It seems like all our news and good stuff happens while we're gone. Thank goodness for cell phones and being able to get ahold of us!!!! I think maybe we should just keep taking vacations and we'll just keep getting good news----right?!!!!!! We had a fabulous time at a cottage we rent up north. It's always a week of relaxing and just enjoying being together. The big hit this year was catching frogs. The kids would catch and 'take care of their frogs' all day long. The poor frogs----I'm sure they will never be the same. We also had lots of fun swimming and having tube rides. This is the first year the kids really asked for tube rides and got into it. Usually they would go---but it was nice to have mom or dad with them. This year they were excited to go on their own and Alyssa was even a little bit more of a show off while riding. She even jumped off the tube because she wanted to go swimming in the middle of the lake!!!

Of course going fishing was a big hit. I wasn't there---but the story was something like Alyssa was fishing and catch quite a big fish. She reeled it in and saw it and dropped her pole and everything because it was too big for her. Good thing Paul had a hold of the line already so he could save the pole and get the fish in. Of course she was all proud then of her fish!!!!

Vacation was a great time of enjoying life and just doing fun stuff.

We're looking forward to Aidan joining us and playing with him next year too!!!
