"We're a Family Again..!"

this is what Addy's been saying everyday this week:)

This our temporary home. There's 12 buildings..it's an extendedstay hotel, but looks more like an apartment complex.
This is what Kinley does while Mason and Addy swim with Chris. The heat puts her right to sleep:)

Their new favorite thing to do..we go at night when the sun has gone down.

We're working on getting Addy to trust her life jacket and let go of Chris..not so easy when she hates water in her face or ears;)

Mason's face is priceless when he gets in..I love his blue eyes with his jacket!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Rose for the jackets..we're putting them to good use!

We temporarily moved down with Chris last weekend, since his internship wanted him to stay another month. After 12 weeks apart, we'd had enough of that..so we're in an extendedstay hotel with him for the month of August. His job position has finally been approved, now we're just waiting for them to post the job online since they're legally required to do so, interview people etc...even though the position is his. So who knows how long this will take, since it's taken over a month to get his position approved. But we're very excited that we're almost done and to a point in this process that is going to feel like heaven!! We love having Chris come home each night, and seeing the kids' faces when he walks in his priceless. Mason follows him around everywhere saying "Daddy" over and over, and Addy runs up and gives him the biggest hugs and says,"Daddy's home, I'm so happy!!" I feel the same way:) Getting out of the hotel room during the day with all 3 kids by myself has been an adjustment. I definitely get a lot of staring and people saying, "wow, you have your hands full!" The heat makes it difficult too..105 at a park isn't too fun yet until the kids adjust to the heat, and McKinley gets older. So we do exciting things like going to WalMart and Albertsons:) haha. I haven't ventured out driving to a mall yet. But swimming at 8:00 at night has been our highlight of the week so far. I still have posts to do before this one..but I wanted to get some pics up of what we've been doing for their Grandmas and Grandpas that we miss so much.
