We just figured out that we have wireless internet at the campground, so thought we'd post a few pictures so you can see what a good time we're having.
We are at Arbor Vitae Campground in Arbor Vitae, WI. That's about 5 minutes north of Minocqua, so about half an hour from our house. There is a creek that winds right through the middle of the campground, Chris' site is right on the creek. Ours is up in the woods a little bit, but only a minute walk from Chris.
More later!

Just a quick update so you can all see a few pictures of what the girls have been up to in KC. We drove all the way through on Saturday, arrived just before 10PM. As you can imagine, we've been in high demand since arriving! Becky was off work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday so we spend pretty much all day with her. Took a trip to the mall, spent a lot of time at Cindy's house, visited with my brother and Kierra. Today we are just hanging out at the house and catching up on some things, like laundry. Right now it's 10:15, Kindra and Anna are still in bed! It's been a busy summer, I think we could all sleep for a couple of days straight at this point!
Noah made it to Texas with no trouble. It sounds like he's having a great time, but it's certainly strange not having him around! I've been holding Aiden to get my little boy fix, he's just the right size, haha. The good thing is that I was able to do some shopping at the mall that I've been putting off...Noah isn't much of a mall fan!! Of course right when I went up to pay for my items, a big storm came along and knocked out the power to the entire mall!! It was pretty creepy, but we decided to wait out the storm in the mall and eventually were able to pay for our things. I was hoping for a good storm while I was here...never thought it would be in the middle of Independence Center!
I'll write more soon! Tomorrow night Kierra is staying the night with us, and Friday night Kindra, Anna and Kierra are going camping with Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan at Watkin's Mill.
More later,

Things have been busy as usual up here. Anna is feeling better, and is actually at camp this week. After a little over a week on the antibiotics, I could see her energy level increasing quite a bit. When she first started on the antibiotics, I was wondering if she'd even be able to make it through camp, but by last Saturday when I dropped her off, she was almost back to normal. I actually had to harass her for doing cartwheels in the house!
Noah was sick all day yesterday with a stomach bug. He woke up complaining of a headache, which is a strange complaint for a 4 year old! Within an hour he had a fever, and was vomiting. He couldn't even keep water down. He just laid in the bed all day yesterday, sleeping off and on, whimpering and crying. By last night he was able to drink some Sprite and eat a popsicle. Today he's feeling a lot better, still tired and weak from not eating much yesterday, but at least he's not vomiting any more! Poor guy.
The girls and I are leaving Saturday for Kansas City. Pavan's mother will be flying into Rhinelander on Sunday and heading back to Dallas with Noah on Monday. I will have my laptop with me in KC, so I will try to keep the journal entries going while we are out of town. At least the pictures...I'm sure Pavan will be dying to see some pictures with everyone out of town and him stuck at home working!
We have some sad news up here. Our dear friend, Connie, has been diagnosed with a form of breast cancer. To make it even more difficult, Pavan is her doctor! She just loves Dr.Reddy, and wouldn't think of letting anyone else operate on her! She called me this morning (the biopsy results just came back yesterday, he went by her work to talk with her last night) and sounds good. Now that she knows what's going on, she just wants to move forward and do whatever needs to be done to make it better. I love that attitude! To make matters worse, her sister had a stroke yesterday morning. She was airlifted to Marshfield (2 hours from here by car) for treatment, and they are hopeful she will regain her movement and feeling in her right side...but it's a wait and see sort of situation. ANYWAY...Connie, her sister Dee, and their entire family could use all of our thoughts and prayers.
I'd better get going. Noah wants me to come lay down with him...and I'm going to take him up on that offer! His days of cuddling with Mommy are numbered, he's a growing boy you know!!
More later,
Rebecca
