A Week without "helpers"

I've been home this week with only Meredith and Matthew. Jenna is in Colorado with Mom and Dad, and my brother and his family, enjoying Deer Valley Ranch. (www.deervalleyranch.com ) Clarissa and Rebeeca are at Little Prairie Bible Camp. (http://littleprairie.org) I've gotten a lot more accomplished than I thought I would, but it has been a tiring week.

11 years ago, Jenna was Meredith's age, Clarissa was two months older than what Matthew is now, and I had just given birth to Rebecca. But I am now 11 years older, and this is HARDER! :-) We have had a lot of fun though. Yesterday, Kenny went with us to The St. Louis Zoo. It was HOT but we had a lot of fun. Matthew LOVED the elephants and the giraffes--among other things. I would post some pictures, but they are on my phone and I don't know how to upload them. I'm hoping Jenna can teach me how when she gets home! :-)

I thought I might mention that the post below concerning our trip to Hawaii could be somewhat misleading due to the title. We DID NOT take the 5 kids! :-) The "equation" in the title simply means that after 20 years of marriage and having five children, Kenny and I took a vacation together. I intend to post more pictures, but I just haven't yet. Maybe tomorrow......
