I am truely blessed
I have 3 beautiful children who are so content to just sit on a dock at the marina and chill out with each other. Enjoying each others company and laughing at the top of their lungs as they watch Aaron troll around in his boat. When they were all so young I remember sitting on the couch and crying with all of them and wondering if I would ever be able to handle having 3 children that are so close in age. Now that they are growing up and becoming independent I miss the days of old when I could convince them that they were going to wear this shirt with that pair of shorts and we were going to do naps without any argument.
I feel that this is a real turning point summer for us, Chelsea will be entering school in the fall and I will officially have 2 1/2 hours in the morning to get all of my things done before I go get her from Kindergarten. I am sad and happy that we have reached this point. I have no idea what I am going to do with myself ( although i am sure that I will figure it out rather quickly) I will not be going back to work until Chelsea is in first grade, and even then I will only work while the kids are in school.
This is a summer that I hope my children will remember and always be able to look back and think about the fun memories that we made together as a family( and with our dear friends of course)
We are truely blessed!!! beyond all measure of worldly wealth!

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Athena Winter Farnsworth made her debut on Friday September 5, at 2:44 pm. We couldnt be more ecstatic. Kyah did really well. She was induced, she went to the hospital at 6:15 and even before starting patossin, she was dilated to a 3 and contracting.  She asked me to come with she and John to help support her through her labor. I was more than happy to go. I was ready for the long haul, because i was in labor with her for almost 18 hours. But she progressed so steadily. She was at a 5 busy 12, and by 2 was pushing.  She did so great. She was a trooper through it all. It was such a special experience to be able to document the day for them.  She of course has my nose 🥳... the genes are strong for that one. Aaron and I are just elated  to be a grammy and grumpa again!  She is home now and we are all smitten with her. We are very blessed to have those little one join our family. Congrats Kyah and John!  ...

AND THE VERDICT IS... A mix of # 4 and # 5. I went to the hair stylist and hacked off 12 inches of beautiful hair today. When she did it I almost got light-headed. It is very different, When I walked through the door, the first thing Aaron said to me was ... " I DON'T LIKE IT ! " Well I knew that he would react this way because he LOVES long hair. I LO VE it though and it took about 5 minutes to style( which is a far cry from long hair that you have to blow-dry, straighten and then keep out of your face all day) I am very excited about this new look . I told Aaron , Just look at it this way... Look at all the money I am saving us on shampoo and extra water for the time it took me in the shower.... He didn't appreciate my humor. Oh well. ;O)
