I need to get better at this.

Well we are back from our annual trip to Montana, we once again had a great time, and really enjoyed visiting our friends. Nick is getting good with the fly rod and caught a few nice fish. He was so proud of himself and hey for 7 he should be. We got to see Carmen and Steve in Norris, as well as dear friends Bob and Elsie in ID. We love them all so much and it is a blessing to have them as our friends.

We are hoping next year that if things pick up with my job a little that we can pay for John's parents to fly out with us. We know this will be their last trip and due to issues with my BIL they will never go without staying in a hotel. But they can't afford that kind of money so John and I are looking in to it. It would be great to have them out one last time and to get that much needed one on one time with their grandson. They don't see Nick often and it is hard on both them and Nick. Their time is consumed by the other grandchild and it makes it hard on us.



I will try to post something every day if I can, it depends if I get any time. I am headed out to CA on Monday for work, but I enjoy my break from being a mommy for a week. I had a surprise sent o my In-Laws house for Nick while I am gone, I am hoping this will make him feel a little better about being away from mom and dad for a full week. John had plans for working 1st shift but that fell through so now he has to stay with his grandparents. He was not a happy camper when I told him that, so I hope the little gift of Lego's will help.
