Well, I have to apologize for not really following up on my last post made in May. Many things have been going on in my life that took my attention from updating anyone reading. I will surely try to be better for the remainder of the summer.
I would, however, like to bring you up to speed on what has happened so far. Christy got a job working as the social worker at the Longview Cancer Center. She loves the position and the hours are perfect and she is finally getting paid to do something she went to school for. In June, we packed our bags and boarded a plane with the Richardson clan to Orlando, FL for 4 days at Disney World and 1 Day at Universal Studios. We had a fantastic time but I can say with alot of confidence that this magical place is more magical when your magical children are above the magical age of 5. Your experience will be more....what's the word? MAGICAL! In early July, we pointed the mini-van south for our annual 4th of July trip to Port Aransas, TX for some time in the sun and on the beach. The weather was fantastic and the water was as good as I have ever seen it. We did discover that Elisa and Noah love the beach and could play in the water all day but Ava and Micah merely tolerated the experience. I think Ava did not appreciate all the variables that were happening there. There were big waves, a couple of stingrays, and hot sand. So, our summer has been pretty fantastic so far. We are really grateful for all the fun we have had.
As for the rest of the summer, we have birthdays (Mine and Micah), wedding showers and bachelorette parties* (Christy's friend Lauren), a weekly class at church on Wednesday nights, a close friend of ours moving to China, and many other crazy shenanigans in between. I am hoping to be more aware of all of the entertaining blog-worthy fodder that I could share with you.
