This summer, child spies, disguised, stalked the halls. Photos of enemy targets, shoved down over sized apparel while t.p. rolls, rope and tape made up necessary gadgetry. Eight children in one house became the backdrop for almost daily Spy Kids adventures.
It's funny how a household with four children feels oddly quiet after we have enjoyed eight! Jason and Linda (my brother and sister in law), and their classic four were able to stay with us for their summer school-break in the U.S. We laughed, swam, played, exercised (a little), refereed (very little), cooked ethnically, and cleaned every once in a while. Mostly, we just shared life and I am deeply thankful for the opportunities we had to re-kindle relationship. If, when they left, we could have thrown up blockades, we would have! Unfortunately, our high tech gadgets were on the blink on the day of their departure and they are now safely settled in Morocco. We sure miss their faces around here.

The picture of Sofia is perfect! It was so fun to have been there and observe the kids dress up as Spy Kids and watch the Spy Kids movies SO MANY times!! Grandpa and Grandma Gregg
What a GREAT summer for your family! I am thrilled to hear that you were able to enjoy so much time together. Saying good-bye must have been so hard! Would have loved to be a fly on the wall of Spy Kids adventures! SO FUN! Hearing all of this fun, makes me want to visit EVEN more!
SEEKING: Family of ONLY THREE- seeks a wonderful family to spend a week with! Family of three has thoughtful husband ready and willing to pour lots of coffee and other beverages, adorable daughter with great sense of humor and knows a good joke when she hears one, and loving mother who laughs 'til she cries most of the time.
They are looking for fun, adventure, thoughtful conversation, lots of laughs, and great food. Perspective family-you know who you are!
