Summer fun!!!

We sure have been keeping busy around here this summer. Between going back to work full time (plus...), two toddlers, two teenagers and their sports and just trying to maintain a home and a rental home, we've hardly had time for much "fun". I'm really looking forward to July though, we'll be going on a week vacation down near Indianapolis at a nice resort. We'll be taking all of the kids this time and are looking forward to a week of pools, relaxation and everything else vacation has to offer.

My job has just been nuts and my boss certainly keeps me busy. Although some might argue, my going back to work has been the right decision for the family. I am able to get out and use my degree (at least one of them), bring home a paycheck and help out with the finances. The kids absolutely love their daycare center and I really think they are thriving. Katie likes to talk about playing with the other kids and Nathan seems like quite the social butterfly. I guess they call her "Ms. Gateway" at school since she like to greet anyone who is there on a tour with a big smile and a hello. I miss them during the day but have a lot to look forward to when I get home! My new mission this summer is to get them out on a walk at least a few evenings a week. I guess I didn't realize how much exercise I got staying home because i've put on a few pounds since going back to work. Nothing like sitting at a desk all day and eating out to sabotage a healthy lifestyle.

Well, i'm not a photographer by any means but here are some recent pictures of the kids to keep everyone up to date! Sorry for the blurs and crappy quality, but you get the idea...
