I'm not ready for winter!!

Lately we have been pretty lucky as far as weather is concerned. Considering it is the middle of October and we have been pretty consistently in the high 70's low 80's most days. However, you totally feel that change to fall happening. It is just downright cold and nasty looking outside. It makes you want to stay home and do nothing! And you now that before long everything will be cold and snowy and we will be stuck in 6 mths of winter. YUCK! Anyone for moving south??

We're Still Here.....

Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still here and everyone is doing ok. I just haven't really felt up to posting in the last couple of days. I've been having a really hard time adjusting now that everything is getting back to normal with everyone going back to work/school. There's so much stuff around here that I need to do and I just have no motivation right now to even do that. But I'm sure I'll be back to posting in no time. ;-)

Let's Feed the Fish!

Lindsay Feeding the Koi at the pond yesterday....

Yesterday, in an effort to take out minds off of everything that has happened lately we all hopped in my mom's van and drove about an hour and a half to Georgetown, Ky. They have a very nice Japanese style park there that everyone enjoys. You can walk down little paths and see japanese statues and feed TONS of Koi in a nice pond. We fed the Koi pretzels, they loved it and swarmed all over each other to get to the food. It was actually a really warm, nice sunny day for mid October so it tuned out well and everyone had fun. I wish that I would have thought to take more pictures but my mind has been really scattered and I just didn't think of it. ;-)

Awww...Can we have one mom???

Everyone had so much fun holding Avery And Elise the other day. They have all forgotten what its like to have a baby around., and truthfully I did too. These little girls are so adorable and were SO well behaved during the service. We had alot of fun seeing them. Unfortunately this was our first time since we just haven't been able to make it out to Jen's house. But it brought the inevitable question that day and the next, "Mom, can we have a new baby brother or sister?" Can anyone guess what the answer was??? I'll bet you won't have to think that hard about it.....it was "NO!" Okay so it wasn't quite that emphatically said, but the truth is, I love babies, would I really have had 5 of them if I didn't?? BUT, I don't think at this point in my life I would want to go back there. They are fun to hold and then give back though. lol. :-)

Ervin F. Castor....June 1,1946-October 3,2008...I love you Dad

I am sure most of you know but after a long struggle to try and get better my dad died on Friday October 3, 2008. It was somewhat of a surprise because we had just been told that day that all of his tests were coming back normal and that he was getting better except for some drug changes that need to be made to help his confusion. But at around 12:30 that night his heart gave out. It is understandably a very difficult time for us right now and I am trying very hard to be strong and there for my mom. My dads service will be at Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Independence on Tuesday the 7th.

Moving is so not fun and Jeremiah and I have been married 13 yrs!

To those who think moving is somehow fun I can attest to the fact that no it's not. We have been moving pretty steadily everyday for a week now, but it feels like a month! I am just so tired of it. And I am what you would call an organized, somewhat neat freak and I HATE things just laying around so boxes sitting everywhere are driving me nuts! Yes, this new house is ALOT bigger than our old one. In fact I am not at all used to having a formal dining room and a living room AND a family room PLUS an entire basement downstairs. It's just more room than we have ever had. But right now everything is box covered so hopefully pretty soon we will be able to "see" all these rooms. For now I will just keep unpacking. Sorry for the rant, but aren't blogs for venting too. lol :-)

Also, today is mine and Jeremiah's 13 anniversary. Can you believe it!? Where have the years gone...

Its been forever!

I know its been forever since I've posted but rest assured we are all alive and well. It has just been a *really* long month with KY hurricanes, no power, moving to a new bigger (see..fits all of us!) house, and everything that has been going on with my dad. I promise that once things get more settled down I will be back to posting. :-) Meanwhile here is a pic of our new house, Kaylee and Jenna in their new beds waiting for their mattresses to come, and Kara and her cousin Katie.
