Summer Vacation

Above: Bell kissing a carebear on command, although she refuses to kiss me! We were supposed to go camping two weekends ago. We decided we did not feel like going and instead used our camping money to buy the kids a pool. It's one of those Intex ones it's only 3'x12' but it has been great! We have had a great time in it together. If you should know any one thing about me it's how much I love to swim! I could stay in the water all day. Yesterday Chad had to drag me out after everyone else got out :) Chad has been off for almost 3 weeks, he's only had to work one time. It's shutdown at Ford and that means less work at the railroad. This coupled with three vacation days strategically placed means a wonderful vacation right in the middle of summer. We have never worked shut down like this. We have had the greatest summer I can remember, doing nothing never felt so good! On the brink of a major change, having a new baby in October and one that turned one last month plus the older two, I am very thankful to have so much time to relax. God meets our needs when we don't even realize we have need of things! What an amazing God!
