So much to say....so little time to type

We are in Idaho and we are having a wonderful time. Well, actually wonderful doesn't really do justice to our experience here so far. Every time I am out driving I can't help myself but thank God for all the beauty He has created around here. I just can't get enough of looking at the foothills.
The nice dry (humidity-free) weather has been so enjoyable. Not getting lost when I drive has been relaxing. The friendly smiles and kind words from strangers warm my heart.
There are so many blessings that have been given to us that I can't hardly focus my thoughts.
The kids are LOVING being here. The swim in the hot tub nearly everyday. It calms my heart to be able to say, "Go play in the backyard." I don't have to worry about crazy things happening to them. They have been so tired by the end of the day that they can hardly even disobey! Wear them out and they become perfect angels....who would have thought? (Now that I think about it, maybe that is why my mom and dad always had us kids in so many activities!)
I love being with my mom. We laugh alot, which feels so good. I enjoy looking at the clock to see how soon Dad will be home. I even enjoy hearing Brady's music float....I mean bounce....down the hallway. I love my family, and I really really missed them.
I have so many more things to tell you all about. Be back soon!
