welcome home uncle richie !

uncle richie spent the hot oklahoma summer with his son chris 

chris lives in washington .. where it it lots cooler ..

the kids have really missed him .. 

his bus got in at 1:20 ..

so we were there to pick him up ..

with our signs and all our hollaring ..

and our hugs and kisses ..

we were all very very happy to see uncle richie .. 

welcome home uncle richie ..

you were missed !!

the pool ..

after our last day at the beach we went for a "rinse-off" swim in the pool ..

we were all covered in sand and not really ready to call it a day .. 

cash says lets just jump in the pool and rinse off ..

so we did ..

i am sure that we left at least a pound of sand in the pool .. 

weird feeling ..

i am home alone .. not the kind of home alone that i strategically plan and hope for .. no kids .. no jeff ..

but the kind of alone that i knew was coming .. i have known that it would be here all summer ..

i feel empty inside .. isn't that strange ..

i went to the bathroom .. by myself .. that is something that i have not done in 9 years ..
no small person following me in .. talking to me the whole time .. asking me for a snack or to help them with something ..

that was really strange .. it almost didn't feel right ..

i find myself wondering around the house .. like we are playing the indoor version of hide and seek .. but i never find them ..

i didn't feel this way when ellie went to school ..

will this feeling pass .. will it be like this every year when school starts ..
does it seem so quiet and strange because dropping your kids off at school during the first few weeks can be at the least .. dramatic ..

will i still feel this way on the last day of school ..

if anyone has any answers please share them with me ..

having issues with this  .. i am going to self medicate with some oreos ..

The beach ..

i have been busy busy on a couple of photo projects and it just occurred to me that i have not shared the beach with  you .. 

it seems that the beach was our preferred place to be ..  when given the choice of what to do the answer was always ..  lets go to the beach .. 
we swam .. 
played in the sand ..
worked ..
hollared at each other .. 
rode the waves ..
and laid in the sun ..
