Update
I guess it has been a while since I posted. So many things have happened.
We just returned from a week at http://www.carolinacamp.com. It was a blast. The kids were mini campers, made new friends, had some fun experiences and learned some new things.
We stayed the week in our Avion for the first time camping as a family. I absolutely LOVED it and was happy to finally park it on our Lake and spend the night in it. It was a bit sad to leave, and I am looking forward to going back!
The kids are all growing and learning so much. Both Charmie and Mardie are now readers! They are learning new sound combinations each week, and doing well. They both have made it through several of their beginning reader books. They are also loving some of the science experiments that we have been doing lately.
Zuri now has many teeth, though not all of her baby teeth yet, and is quite the talker. She says new words daily, and has started to combine words into mini sentences. She is very active, and emulates her brothers in most that they do. We often find her walking around with a Darth Vader Mask, or weilding a Nerf blaster like they do.
My sister and her family are moving away to Seattle :( We found out in May. By the 12th of August they will have moved away. The time has flown. It went away too quickly, as I feel they have. It is a good move for their family as it has been obvious that God is blessing their move, yet, it still is sad. I have never known a period in my adult life with out my sister close by.
It's hard to believe that in a few short weeks another summer will have passed and we will be quickly approaching the fall and holiday season.

Crepes! mmmmm, mmmm, good
My sister recently took me for a treat to a new eats place at our local mall. They make crepes. Saturday night I took Rocky, and it was yummy goodness all over again.
So today I decided to follow my sister's footsteps and try to recreate the crepes at home.
Here's my finished product.
I made apple and cinnamon filling. Thanks mommy for peeling and cutting up the apples for me earlier!

Here's the crepes cooking!
Here's the batter and hot pan
Overall this wasn't too much more labor intensive over pancakes, but they tasted more like a treat. I want a gridle now and I need to get a long skinny spatula!
