we are home! we had such a great time on our Oregon trip! it was amazing to get to see my parents, my friends, and a couple family members too!!! on my drive home I really reminisced over the good times and laughs I shared while there! it is truly bittersweet to be home ... I sort of got in a groove at my parents house and now I had to re-adjust and figure out what life at home looks like now! after all, we've been home a mere four days since summer break truly began ... and there's so much change in store with keeping three of them home this coming school year! I am overwhelmed with all I need to do, perhaps that's also why I didn't particularly want to return - lol! anyway, our travels were awesome (funnily enough, our timing was nearly exact both going and coming home - basically 9:10am to 6:50pm ... on the way there we stopped for picnic lunch & potty, gas, and one "emergency" potty - on the side of the freeway, haha; on the way home we got gas then ate at a McDonalds across the street - and that was our ONLY stop!! yah - my kids must be amazing!!!) and our time was precious! I have over 800 pics between my camera and my phone (many of which were shared on instagram/facebook) ... so now the blogging begins ... well, we hope - haha - we'll see!
just so I don't leave ya with nothing ...
so here it is! this is the one that will be going on my wall!
I attempted a photo shoot -again- while at my friend's house ...
she was an awesome helper and got my kids to smile!
it was still somewhat chaotic - her sprinklers kept coming on randomly ...
the kids would scream and get up, running off -
then we'd have to get them all re-situated, it was sort of comical though
and we all got many laughs from that!
in the end, perhaps it's really more an issue of my own photography skills ...
but for now it is what it is and this is a pretty good pic!
good enough for now, anyway ...
and good enough as a current photo of all four of my kids for my living room!!!
