Children

As some of you may know, the children are visiting. Victor & the kids got here Wednesday and are leaving Saturday I think. There have been some tantrums and irritation, but it's also been good getting to know them and there have been some really awesome moments too. Most notably with Seth it was a search for 'mountain rock'. We headed up the mountain and after climbing cliffs and a 10 + foot rock he was determined to go back home through this bush & I told him there was no way through but he was stubborn & jumped into some blackberry bushes. He yelled for rescue & I had to pull him out. It was HILARIOUS! He swears he did not jump - it was a "booby trap". But, generally bushes don't lay booby traps so I'm thinking he's just a nut. I had to carry him all the way back with all the rocks we collected in my pocket and listen to him complain about all his injuries and get smacked in the head with his shoes. He got home and wrapped up his leg in a tenser bandage like a mummy and I had to pick thorns out of his hand (his Mom did the butt). My favourite Charlotte moment is at Cultus and playing in the shallow water, spinning her around until I was super dizzy. My heart also melts when she runs up to give me a hug.

I am also VERY content to be single and only live with a cat. But, I am really glad they came and if we can avoid a meltdown or tantrum tomorrow I will be thrilled to death. But the weather needs to cool down too, and I'm not sure what the forecast is. Here's hoping for overcast and 25 degrees...
