Clinch Family Vacation Summer 2010…
Well, we’ve just said our goodbyes and see ya laters to the last of our out of town family that we’ve had here for a week and a half. We had so much fun with everyone, and we all are looking forward to the next one, hopefully next year sometime.
For a recap and some pictures read below.

The week before Memorial Day we decided to take a quick, much needed family vacation up to Niagara Falls, Canada.

The daffodils are blooming, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and it's been warm enough to be swimming the past few weeks. No, we haven't got our pool ready yet, but there have been days where a quick dip in the pool would've felt REAL nice! ;o)

I received the following devotion from a friend of mine, and as a mom - especially a stay at home, homeschooling mom - I found it full of encouragement, so I thought I'd pass it on. Let me know if it encourages you as a parent.

We're FINALLY having winter here in the 'Burgh. We've lived here for 5 1/2 years and we've never had this much snow, and we're not even done yet!

So how much snow have we gotten?

We're expecting Burton baby # 5.... We found out on Christmas, and we're due in September... :o)

Christmas PJ's from Down Under: James is 6 1/2 years old Salah is 4 3/4 years old Elizamay is 3 years old Teagan is 1 year old

...was yesterday, and we've had a lot to be thankful for this year :o)

... and it's been over 4 months since I last posted anything on here. I'm sorry about that for you who check this ever so often to see what we've been up to. I'll do a real quick recap of the summer and so far this fall. And HOPEFULLY I'll get back into writing here more frequently.

My oh my... where has the time gone? I've figured out that when you have a lot of bigger things going on in life, time seems to fly by. And when nothing real big is happening, it seems to droll on and on.
