Family Fun!

This picture was taken in "Eden Park" in Cincinnati. It used to be a reservior, but now it's a fun spot to do some rock climbing!


This one helps give you some perspective on how high up they are!
My four climbing kids!
The sun was a little bright!







Livi does my make-up with me every morning, so she knows what everything in my make-up bag is for. I left the bag in my purse the other day and she put some mascara on all by herself!







Livi has discovered she really likes berries! All kinds!




Livi wearing mommy's shoes, something she does very often!

Much too long since my last post...

Well it has been two weeks since I last updated the blog!!! So sorry! Life has been busy. Lots of change has happened to our family over the past few weeks. Let me give the brief version of what has transpired.


Brandon had been talking about going out on his own to do his own consulting, team building, organizational development, ext. He loved Camp Joy, but has felt underpaid and under appreciated for quite some time. So to make a very long story short, Brandon is now the owner of Smart People Inc.! (You can look it up on the web at smartpeopleinc.com). He is working from home. So that is taking some adjustment, I think more on my part than anyone elses! He threw off the routine you know! I think I just wasn't quite prepared for the whole thing. The one thing I do know is that Brandon is way happier!! I am so grateful that God has a bigger picture view than I do! Things are going well and I think that Brandon will do an incredible job at running his own company.


The other thing that of course is exciting to our family is that we found out that we will be adding yet another girl to the Allen crew here! Mason is the lone ranger of this house. He is all boy, but naturally already a ladies man! It's a good thing he doesn't seem to mind having sisters, as he will be growing up with four of them!! He will grow up with Kerrin, Nadia, Livi and "P"baby all sisters and girls through and through! I will see if I can scan in a picture from the ultrasound. So that is the update!! I will post some pictures as soon as I can get them to upload! I'm having problems getting anything to upload lately!!! Sooo sorry!
