Getting back to normal

My kids are exhausted. Many late nights and busy days with Grandpa. I originally was going to take Wednesday off after Grandpa left, but Kevin and I discussed how tired the kids are and decided that Thursday was only going to be an hour or two of school. Here we are Friday morning, and only Little Miss Trouble is awake and its nine am. I didn't realize how out of our routine we had gotten.

Dad arrived in time to celebrate Little Miss Trouble's second birthday. As a surprise to him, I arranged to have my brother fly out this past weekend-just in time for dad's 60th birthday. It was a ton of fun. I haven't seen my brother in over three years and the kids loved it. They thoroughly enjoyed Uncle Kevin-yes my brother and husband have the same name. Y'know-this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl? My mother uses it as this is my son Kevin, and my other son Kevin.

Anway, one of the days it was cloudy, but not raining so we went sight seeing to Mount Erie. The view is gorgeous, but it was cloudy, so it wasn't too great. Considering my brother lives near Buffalo, a clean dumpster would have been an improvement scenery wise.


Here's my "little" brother, myself, and dad-and yes, it was really chilly that day!


Enjoying some family time...



Gotta run. Tylar's up and crying. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend-more photos to come soon!
