O.k. we are finally back in Kansas and just got our computer set up so I now have a lot of catching up to do. Ben found us a house which we are now moved into and are liking it a lot! Jake has started preschool which got us right on track. He goes MWF for a couple hours with only 10 kids in his class which is nice. Ben is loving his job and Carla is trying to get into a routine over here... it will probably take me awhile but that's o.k. When Jake's at school Abby and I have lots of time together which she loves... we work on her shapes, make cookies and muffins and read lots and lots of books. Our other favorite thing to do is to play with dollies and call them Kenzie:) Ben was very happy for us to be back as were we, but we had a wonderful trip to WA and loved the time with my family! The last few days out in WA we kept busy. We got to see Ben's sister from Oregon for a few days and all the girls. We got to spend time with Kenzie Rose. We played a lot with the kids, spend time with my Granparent's which I am very thankful every day, and each time I get to see them... and all that and we got two extra days. I messed up my days and we were supposed to be home on Tues. and I thought Thurs. so they got us home just a red eye flight out and flying all through the night through Chicago into Wichita. My good friend Abby was kind enough to take her three kids, Jake and Abby's buddies and come get us! We had an easy trip back once we finally got on our way! Thanks to my parent's we stayed busy for a few extra hours in Seattle:)
