PLaying Catch-up!

Hello all you bloggers!
Life for the Kinner-Houston's moves along. Over the weekend, I got to have some time in Hutchinson visiting Alice, Brenda and her kids (in-law family from my first marriage). It was SO good to see them and and the kids and do the "my how you've grown!" bit. We went to the art fair in Hutchinson went back to Brenda's house to visit. Posted pictures are coming!!

On sunday, we started back to Sunday School! I am not teaching this year and David and I are attending an adult SS class together. Braxton started in Senior High SS time and Zoe moved into Club 56 (fifth and sixth graders together). After church we went to the Bell Museum on the U of M campus. It's a taxidermied animal kind of museum. The kids enjoyed the incerdibly life like animal displays as well as the Touch and See Room and the bird fact scavenger hunt. Gretchen finished first and the proceeded to finish some of the other kid's scavenger hunt sheets :) They got museum buttons as a prize. The Bell is a cool place! Pictures to follow from this trip too.

Saturday night we had some grown up time viewing vacation pictures from Barb and Rich's Baltic crusie to Russia, Estonia, Sweden, London...Lots of beautiful churches, museums, castles, and sunsets on the boat. Bethany was at our house babysitting all of the kids (except Bayley and Brax) and brought John, Sarah and Molly along as well. It was a full night at our house! Braxton was overnight with a friend but John came anyway and hung out with kids. :)

The week is half done and we've already had high school open houses and piano lessons.

I hope that the rain, in Illinois, has stopped! We only got a sideswipe of storms that went other places. But my plants are happy not to be frying in the summer sun!

more later...
