Update

I can't believe it's August already! This whole summer has flown by. I got behind in my blogging so there will be quite a few posts one after the other.
The biggest thing we have to update is Spencer is here with us now.

He got home last Thursday after a bit of car trouble. He was supposed to start the 3 day drive on Wednesday but Tuesday afternoon his car broke down. We thought it would be a simpler fix with the clutch, but no such luck. The problem ended up being the clutch and transmission and they wanted more than the car was worth to fix it. Never mind! We decided to junk the car. So with a wonderful gift from his brother, Spencer was able to fly home Thursday afternoon (a day earlier than originally planned). The kids has no clue he was going to be home. All they knew was that daddy's car broke and he couldn't drive home.
So Thursday I drove to the airport while Danielle stayed and watched the kids. She put together a cute scavenger hunt for them once I got home with Spencer. All the clues led to the garage where Spencer was waiting. It was the cutest thing to see their reaction! Ellie screamed so loud I'm surprised we still have our hearing. Ayden and Ellie kept saying "this is the best thing ever!"
We are so glad to have Spencer back with us, our family is complete. He started his new job at Morgan Stanley on Monday and is really enjoying it. He's home by 4:35 every afternoon. So weird. It's been really fun getting to spend time together. We've been enjoying family dinners, walks, and watching the Olympics.
 The kids have been enjoying some fun trips with family and fun babysitters. I've been working and trying to get things ready for kids going back to school. It's weird to think that I'll have 2 in school this year. We also have Ayden's baptism this weekend. He is so excited and has been personally inviting those he would like there. Wonderful times in the Shaw home!
