Adventure in Kansas City with Family!

(I wrote this last week...but I am going to use it for this week's Six Word Saturday!  :)


Adventure in Kansas City with Family!


Last February our middle daughter Lynnette and her husband Kyle and their 6 kids moved from the Wichita area to Kansas City.  Even though it is only a 3 hour trip...it sometimes seems like they have moved very far away, and we miss them a lot!  We have been there 3 or 4 times already...and they came here once, so it is really working out fine...and they will also come here for Thanksgiving.

This is the country house they moved from.  They had lived there for 14 years, and hated leaving it, but they are adjusting to living in the suburbs of Kansas City, Mo.


This picture below is from our last trip this summer to see the Kraft's for Jonas' 10th birthday.  (He has on the camo shirt!)

We took our 18 year old grandson William with us on our last visit, and he enjoyed the time with all of them, but also liked hanging out with his 20 and 23 year old cousins Abigail and Jared.  We all went to the Farmer's Market, and then we went down to the River-Walk.

We saw a few trains, and one went over this bridge when we were standing there

Their sweet 6 year old son Harrison!

 

It was chilly and quite breezy...as you can see from my messed up hair...and from how I am all bundled up in my shawl!

 

The boys liked exploring the area

 

 

 Their kids range from 23 yrs. old, down to 6 years old!

A good day in Kansas City!

 

Our Daughter Wrote A Great Book!

Our Daughter Wrote A Great Book! 

These are my six words!

Good Morning...I wanted to do a post about our daughter Lynnette's new book called,  "Ingrid".  It was a family effort because her adult composer son, Jared made a companion CD for the book, and her adult artist daughter, Abigail did all of the artwork.  They are involved in a Kickstarter Campaign to get their funds to publish the book and cd.  They only have 11 more days to raise the remaining 9,000.00

Perhaps you would like to pledge a little to this worthwhile project!  For just 35.00 you will receive a beautiful hardback book and the wonderful music cd that was composed to go along with the book.  Larger pledges receive larger rewards, which are listed on the site.  I am including the website with all of the information.  Please help if you can!  Thanks so much!

Of course I am very proud of them...and very hopeful that they will succeed

Please help them realize their dream if you can.
