Random pics from visiting up north

Family outing to Aquaboggan (open the pic and it will take you to an album)

We decided to give take the kids to a water park as a surprise last Sunday. They didn't know where we were headed. It was a wonderful day out as a family and I'm glad we had the day together.

July 2nd and Justin turned 17 years old!

Officially out of the house today.  We didn't go in today, we took care of what we were going to do on Wednesday.   It was sad and now we are looking to the future for what God may have for us next.  Sounds cliche but I guess that is all there is  at the moment.

We have temporarily landed in a third floor apartment on Lisbon street.  It is some fun walking up and down those stairs with little's. It is making me appreciate what people around here go through on a daily basis.

There is still lots to be done on the house.  I am hoping for a month but Curtis has said two.  We'll see if it is less than four....... He is almost finished with trimming the roof so they can shingle.  We are expecting the windows next week sometime and hopefully it will go faster from here on out.

Justin celebrated his 17th birthday by getting a classical guitar we found on craigslist.  It needs some work but I think it will be a nice thing for him to learn on.   Pictures soon.

Father's Day at Range Pond (album if you open the pic)

We spent a couple hours at Range pond before the showers hit.  It was really warm and nice to be together as a family for an afternoon.  That hasn't happened in a while for apparent reasons. The kids made Curtis a t-shirt with their hand prints and various fun stuff.  Also some magnets and breakfast in bed.  It was overall a relaxing day and I think Curtis enjoyed it.

pictures of our house progress

Well the windows went in this week which made me feel a whole lot better about things. I guess God does want us to live their after all. We'll see about tomorrow. It's funny how are attitudes depend so much upon our life situations. When we have money and things are taken care of we are happy and God loves us. When we are messing up and don't have anything to show for our life-----God still loves us. Hard to live in that truth sometimes. If you open the picture you will be taken to an album of the house as it is today.

Some video of Kiana's last crawling and first steps

Wow, it's been a while

Well, it's been a while but we are still alive. As some of you know this has been quite a few months for the Roundy family. Kiana had her surgery on Sept. 4th and I guess we won't know until Dec. if there will be another.

Kiana was quite happy with her IV and only cried when they took it out. She did better than Curtis. Very long day and really don't want to do it again.

We chose to take our Sundays this summer and spend it as a family. It worked out pretty well as most Sundays were sunny and most other days it rained. We usually get a park pass and use it as much as we can. It ends up being a great buy for our family of "7". This picture was taken while hurricane Bob was off shore. We had some tremendous waves and someone was actually surfing.

A Day with the Barkmans

our day ended with a bonfire and started with waffles, monopoly, roller skating, ice cream, a concert, barbecue, a bonfire and smores.

Garry and Curtis put together this playset that someone gave us







a little monopoly, and a cute baby

Kiana then and now

Anaya helping dad fix the tub,
I'm not sure if she is bored or being goofy.

Anaya at the hospital

I really want to go home!!!!!
Anaya had croup on a Monday night by Tuesday morning she was in respitory distress. We went to St. Mary's and were there for 24 hours which doesn't seem like a long time but when no one sleeps it seems like forever. Everything turned out okay and a few days later she was almost back to herself. We all ended up with this really bad virus that lasted 3 weeks. I'm just getting over it. It pretty much wiped me out, Renee also had it bad.









Get me out of here!
