Dear Kaden

Dear Kaden,

Leighton and I are sleeping on the couch tonight and as I lay here listening to the rain I can't help but miss you. We have been in Nashville for a week now and it feels like we have been away for much longer. The store is coming along now and after a really busy day tomorrow we will be ready for our Sarah Seven and Sarah Janks trunk shows. We have so much going on that I wish you could have been here to see and to help. I know you are working hard though and I am so grateful for all that you do to support our family. We never thought this time would be easy, just hopefully worth it  in the end. I am so proud of you a and how hard your working in school. I know it isn't easy going to work all day and then coming home to do homework. You are quite amazing babe and I am so lucky to be your wife and Leighton is so blessed to be your daughter. We both love you so much and can't wait to be home with you again. 

Love,

Your Wife

Our National Park Adventures

We have been a pretty busy family this summer. And even though I have tried to keep up with the blog I have failed at sharing our fun summer adventures. Now that school is back in session (yes, even for me) its time to say goodbye to summer and finally post all the outings that never made it on here.

At the beginning of the year Kaden and I talked about how fun it would be to go to a lot of national parks this year. We only really made it to two but we loved them and so did Leighton.

Our first park was Bryce Canyon.

Leighton asked to walk on every wall and Kaden let her, even if it about gave me a heart attack.

She also started a large rock collection. Grandma was very patient with her when she collected about 20 rocks at one point and tried to carry them all herself.

The second park was Zion. I have been wanting to go there for a long time and this park we did with my entire family and Uncle Jimi, Aunt Heather, the boys and even grandma.

I am so glad we were able to visit a couple of the really beautiful places that we live so close to before making our big move to the south.
