Melissa pushing Sammy, Ella, and Eva around. Sometimes I wish it would work but other times I'm pretty sure they would kill themselves or something else. So we play it safe and keep it broken.

Well its been awhile and I'm so sorry for that. The best grandma in the world became an angel in heaven 2 weeks ago(Evelyn Charbonneau). Eva and I flew home as soon as I could to be with my mom and close relatives. Ella stayed home with daddy and while he was at work went to a friends house. We all had fun but missed each other terribly. The funeral was on Sat. July 23rd and I tried to get back home by Sunday before Evan left for Wash. D.C. He never travels for work but this one time. Of course, I couldn't get home and Evan had to leave so Ella was in Ohio all by herself. We never leave each other and then all at once we are spread across the midwest. We all did fine and we are reunited and are happy to still be surrounded by family. G&G Lindahl arrived last Thursday just in time for Ella's 1st t-ball game. She started t-ball July 18th and had to cancel her 1st game because of the hot, humid weather so thank God because I would have missed it. It is probably the cutest thing ever watching little kids play t-ball. We have got lots of pics and even a video of her hitting at her 1st game. Now if I could figure out how to upload the video that would be magic. She is a great hitter but has lots to learn about the rest of it..hopefully the next 5 weeks help. We also took the girls mini-golfing for the 1st time, Ella loved it! Eva had fun running around, she'll like in time. G&G left yesterday for Tennesse to visit David and Becky and will return for Ella's 2nd t-ball game and stay the weekend again. I was lucky and did not have to work the overnight last weekend but this next weekend I will so I may be a little tired but at least will have G&G help. Last weekend they took the girls to the Smurfs movie- Ella loved it and laughed out loud alot and Eva didn't want to sit still, then they went to play at Mcdonalds. Evan, Grant, and I went to a Reds game in Cincy...it was nice to get away but shopping would have been preferred. We look forward to seeing them again!
