I apologize for the lack of blogs here recently. It seems that we are really busy, but nothing's going on. Ever feel like that? We've had a whirlwind few days here in KC. Lots of family visiting, which I love! Mom and Dad came last Saturday. However, their visit was cut short because we lost power for 7 hours and Mike Hayes doesn't do well in a strange place with no power. Needless to say, they left Sunday evening instead of Monday morning.

Monday afternoon Will, Candi, Maddi & Hayden came to visit. We had so much fun with them and I hope they had a blast too. I met them Monday afternoon at the Legends. When they spotted me, Maddi & Hayden came running with outstretched arms. I nearly cried! I forgot how much I had missed them!!! While Hayden was hugging me he asked, "When's Luke gonna be here?" I said, "Sorry buddy, he's at work tonight and you won't see him until tomorrow." Hayden replied, "Are you kidding? I was in a car for 6 hours?" I forgot my camera the first two days of our adventure, so most of the pictures are from today. However, here's my favorite of the whole time...

Can you guess who put Hayden up to this?
This was pretty darn funny I must say. Many people were laughing at us. :)

Tuesday brought more shopping at Zona Rosa. We had supper at Winstead's where we ordered the Skyscraper milkshake and were serenaded by the servers..."Skyscraper, skyscraper coming your way...We're having fun the Winstead's way...Oooh, oooh!" We then spent the evening at the CoCo Key Waterpark, which was fun also. Adults - they have some pretty rocking slides there! And the kids had a great time too!

Today we went to Kaleidoscope at the Crown Center downtown and then to Deanna Rose's farmstead in Overland Park. Both were a lot of fun and did I mention free? Here's some pictures!

Maddi with her masterpiece!

Throwing coins and making wishes into the fountain!
Pedal tractors!

In other Henry news, Luke is registered for classes and we bought his books yesterday. He has class 3 mornings a week so that works out really well! I will also be taking a couple classes through the Wisdom program on campus. School starts the 22nd and although we are a little nervous about what "school" brings, we are both ready for a routine to begin! Continue to pray for Luke as classes begin, for a "real" job for me and that God will continue to do great things in KC!

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar...

And So It Begins...

Well friends, it's finally time. You know, before about a week ago it was all talk. This moving business was just words coming out of our mouths. But now, it's real. Luke and I are both officially unemployed with no job prospects in sight. Boy, that's encouraging! There's a trailer in the driveway that already has quite a few boxes in it, with much more stuff to come in the next few days. We are moving out of our house on Tuesday (GIANT TEAR!) and then heading to KC one week after that. We've been planning this move for nearly a year and now that it's here...it's so surreal. I can't picture my furniture anywhere but my current bedroom, I can't imagine having to climb two flights of stairs to reach my front door, and I don't even want to think about the fact that I'm sharing a wall with someone. My car and I had a pep talk last night...with this trailer in front of the garage, I had to move her out. Last night was her last being protected f...

Let the Baking Begin!

Have you ever seen the movie "Julie and Julia?" I didn't think it was the best movie I had ever seen but I enjoyed the cooking portion of it. And now that I call myself a blogger - I was struck with a similar idea today. I enjoy baking...A LOT. Not healthy for the waistline, but fun nonetheless. I'm not very creative, nor do I have the patience to decorate my creations very well. But, maybe through baking I will learn the virtue of patience and tap into my creative genes. Luke bought me a cookbook for Christmas this past year. It's called the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. The bakery is in London and they specialize in cupcakes, pies, cakes, muffins...you name it. I have decided to do a little "Julie & Julia" project of my own using this cookbook. I won't have nearly the rules that the movie did. I just want to bake everything in that cookbook. I won't blog each and every time I bake something, because you will probably get bored. But, if you...
