Forty three years ago at this moment, Lisa was in full on labor and not a happy girl. Sometime around noon, our first born child arrived and we were both ecstatic. Happy Birthday Kira!
Right now Kira and Evan are on the road driving to Auburn, Alabama to drop Evan off at college. It has been a very hard week for her and I hope her and Evan can have a great day even though they are away from her family. They are at Brandons today so I hope she can have a good day.
We just finished a great long weekend. Ben and Sharley were going to bring their family out for the Fourth of July holiday but complications with the foster system prevented them from bringing all of the girls, so this was a makeup day.
They arrived late on Friday evening and went promptly to bed. We started the day Saturday with a pancake breakfast.
Kit brought me a stack of books and wanted me to read to her.The kids have come to associate our house with lemonade and that is the first thing they wanted to do. For the first round of lemonade, Jack, Freddie, ___ and ___ made a double batch of lemonde. A huge portion of that was spread all over the kitchen. For Sunday dinner we made a second batch and that was mostly just ___ and I.On Sunday while we were at church Ben and his family took the kids to the Delmar beach. Freddie liked that beach much better than the Terra Maar beach.
After dinner we gave the kids several options of things to do and they all opted to head up to the park. We had a lot of fun and stayed there until it started to get dark at which point we headed home. This is when they wanted to do some of the other options we had given them earlier. They were not happy that it was now time for bed.
I love Kits hair in this picture.There were no more swings available so ___ offered to go doubles with Kit.
Monday was Labor Day so we had a relaxed morning and then kissed all the kids and said goodbye. It was good to see them.
