Going home

We are finally going home to Georgia. Myself and the kids are flying out (and the cats) on September 16, Joe and his brother Pete are driving my car and Joe's car pulling the trailer with all our stuff which means we won't see them until ? Here is Christina, she is so excited to be going back she is calling all her friends My little cutie pie in the pool, shooting the super soaker at the boys We took the kids to the JW Marriott in Scottsdale, for a character breakfast (Dora and Spongebob), they enjoyed it but Christina kept asking where Boots was, and Joey wanted to know where Bikini Bottom was, I overheard a lot of the same from other kids Swimming in the pool, we are really going to miss our pool in the back yard, especially since the neighborhood pool at home just closed Here are the kids, so silly, in their tent and little fold out chairs at snack time in the living room Here is what the living room usually looks like by 8am, all the pillows on the floor, usually it's the kids's "boat" and the carpet is the water Here is Joey and his new girlfriend at the Mcdonald's playground, I thought I would never get him to leave Here is Joey and his buddy Parker at the Microsoft store at Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale, this is the table top that is a computer, you can play games, edit pictures, etc.....We all went on a different day and Joe and Joey camped out at that table playing games for two hours, which was fine with me since Christina was sleeping in the stroller and I enjoyed a long coffee break Here are the kids again, eating lunch in their little chairs Here are the kids sleeping in the tent, they actually slept an entire night in it, problem is I had to sleep on the couch and it wasn't very comfortable, but the kids had a fun night That's about it, looking forward to getting home, once we get there I'll probably spend two or three days scrubbing, grocery shopping, going thru mail, we'll be going to Emily's football games (she is in band) on Friday nights, and I will be job hunting. Joe's probably going to be traveling quite a bit , yuck.

Joey will have to have surgery on his left ear, it's very minor surgery, his left eardrum is torn, we don't know how it happened, but he has to have surgery to have it patched. I've already found a pediatric ENT and made his appointment for when we get home, poor guy the ear problems are never ending, hope this doesn't affect his hearing.
