July at home

Hi everyone - We are all fine here and thankful for the past three weeks of our new "normal life" since coming home from RMI. We learned from a family that is currently in RMI that there is water rationing going on now there - and they only can use the water in the hotel for 5 hours each day. Here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately!

Here's Boston in his new Cubs hat and shirt (thanks to Daniel & Tina!) - while playing empty-water bottle/splash ball baseball at home on 7/8/09! He wanted to put the new shirt and hat on immediately after opening them. He has had a lot of fun getting to know the extended family, our playgroup friends, and our routines at home.

It was fun to introduce Boston to our Kane County Fair - here are the kids as we took a break from the rides and listened to some music at the Fair on 7/15/09.


Here are Jacob and Hannah with their new stuffed friends while at "Build-A-Bear" for a friend's birthday party 7/19/09:



And here are our three happy kids - playing after music class and lunch with friends! Thanks Kerry for the photo!

Bye for now!

Settling in to Life at home 7/9/09

Hello everyone - Now that we have been home for nine days, we are feeling like we have adjusted back to the time change, etc. Here are some more pictures from our airport homecoming and some random pictures from our first days at home. Boston is doing well and seems to be enjoying every new experience! I'll try and update the blog again in a week or so! Lois
Above are pictures of some of the airport greeters before we arrived. We actually came in a different door than they were expecting - so we saw them before they saw us!

A happy Boston on Peter's shoulders at the airport - sorry Peter you were caught mid expression!!
