Temporarily missing in action.

If there were a grade for blogging, I would probably be receiving an "F" right now! It's not that I don't have anything to say or pictures to show to my five faithful followers (Mom, Christine, Erin, Jeremy, and Mallory), but the last few weeks have been crazier than ever!

Most importantly, I have been missing in action because Matt's Grandpa, Papa Earl as our children call him, passed away on September 5th. And even though he lived to the age of 92, we were a bit shocked that he passed away. He always reminded us that he was "not old" and in many ways, he wasn't. We miss you lots Papa and are greatful to know that you are watching over us from heaven. Love you xoxoxoxo

We have also been busy just hanging out together as a family (and counting our many blessings). Here is a quick update in pictures of what the Peters' have been up to the last month.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Seeing my children have fun

Celebrating Milestones with my family

For Emily's 9th birthday, we had a Tie Dye/Sleepover Party. Who knew making tie dye shirts could be so much fun? The kids had a blast and the shirts came out fabulous (I will have to add pics of the finished product). Later in the evening the girls had a talent show and decided to dress up Daniel. See if you can figure out which one is him. Hint: If you are having an E.T. flashback, you've found daniel :)

The next day, we spent the day as a family, celebrating Emily's Birthday on our boat.
