While the guys have been in China, we have been super busy here at home!

Kayla, Addie Mae, Chad and I are keeping up with everything around here, and are so thankful for how smoothly things are going! David is here on Saturdays, and stops by to help on his way to work some mornings too, which is a huge help when we need more muscles.

There has been lots of yumminess coming from the gardens! We also enjoyed a half bushel of peaches from our local market!

Of course the yumminess doesn’t stop at fresh produce….cause what good Mama would not start her kiddos day with carbs and sugar??!!

The guys here at home put up the crib for Tate. We think we need it to be a sleeping option for when he gets home, so I had them set it up in Blake and my room.

David had a helper changing the oil in his truck!

There is always time to have some fun and cool off at the same time. It has been hot here!

These mini zucchini muffins were a hit – and the zucchini was fresh from the gardens!

So thankful for Kayla’s daily help. Every time Kayla arrives, Eliza will say “Did you bring your baby tummy?” Super cute. Kayla has had good opportunities to bond more with Eliza these last few weeks!

Sue, the horse gal, brought her farrier over to care for the horses!

David and Kayla took the three kiddos to the tractor pull Saturday night while I stayed home with Eliza! They had a BLAST!

Eliza has been struggling quite a bit lately…..but there is change in the air, you know! We have had many sleepless nights since the guys left.

I am so thankful that I am here, and that I can focus on getting her through these struggles and try my best to prepare her for what is ahead!

The kids and I went to Costco after church yesterday to stock the freezer! Kayla and I had shopped and stocked the pantry on Friday! We are stocked! And ready for our guys to return home!

Life here at home has been fantastic!!

I am ready to jump into another week of full-time school and to do my best to keep the home fires burning!

But we can. not. wait. for our guys to return home!!

Four more sleeps!!!
