My family in England

So this month has been so full of highs and lows. My dearest friends in the entire world traveled thousands of miles to be with me and my new little one...I can not even begin to tell anyone how much that means to me. Just to have family around when you feel so very far from home is the best gift anyone could have given me. My mom and sister made this special time even better. We laughed and cried all week. They were such a support for me while Cade was adjusting to this world in his own way. And not once did they complain about being stuck in Mildenhall. And thanks to my great friends that I have made, they eventually got out of here to see something other than the farm lands. Thank you so much for coming to visit me! It means the world. Kolton was also able to come and spend some good time with us before he heads off to his mission. It was really nice to relax and get to know him better. Kendrick actually feels that his family is not so distant from him after all. We were actually able to travel a bit his last week here. We went to Norwich Castle. It was kinda neat. So incredibly dark inside. I never thought of how it would be without having windows for light....and it is so gloomy. No wonder everyone was drunk back in the day. Something had to lift the spirits. But we also were able to go to one of my "top destinations before I kick over" list. Stonehenge!!! So all my life I have wanted to go. What a complete let down. I somehow imagined it being so different. A grand structure, huge circles dug out in the ground, thick trees and somehow exotic. Well you pass over this little hill, and out in the middle of this farm field, is a pile of rocks. Not quite what I had imagined. I was somehow thinking before we moved here that I wanted to come over on a summer solstice celebration in the henge, am I so glad that I did not do it before it was just a 3 hour trip. But we did have a blast.


I have no idea what my computer is doing, but it will not accept my card from my camera. But soon I will have more pics of Cade!
