Oct 2011-Sundays at church and Open houses

Since Chris leaves early with his church work most Sundays it is just the kids and I hurrying to get to church on time! They do a great job of sharing two bathrooms and helping each other get ready! Most Sundays after church they spend driving to open houses with me. It started out as a lot of fun but now even bribing them with a stop at a new park isn't exciting enough! This house with beach views in Dana Point was amazing but we couldn't see ourselves living there with the schools and youth groups small and struggling. We were told the public elementary school in the area was so poor parents opted out and drove their kids to neighboring schools!

My favorite time of day with McKinley is in the morning right after we drop the other kids off at school and it's just her and me! She is so fun to tickle and tease and snuggle!
