The Brandenburger Circus: Home again, home again, jiggety jig!

Honestly....it seems like we were just at crooked creek a few days ago....We left there almost exactly a week ago.
On the way home we played a little in the mountains, saw the TEXAS play in the palo dura canyon and stayed a night with our cousins in flower mound.

All I wanted to do once I got home was to unpack and organize my life....but....our ac was out. So, I have spent the past few days avoiding our 100+ degree house at all costs.
We went swimming, back to school shopping, got haircuts, dentist appts, met baby Gabriel...and the list goes on and on. For the girls, the best part of a hot house is getting to sleep over somewhere else. They spent the nite with the reddings one night.... And then Georgie was so cool to invite them over the spend the night....2 lil middle schoolers hanging out with a cool senior. I love that...that friendship is so sweet and special. Kate too.
Today we went to see captain America. Great movie. Hall went in full garb....and learned how to turn his shield into a lethal weapon. I had to remind him that shields were not to be thrown at people, faces, etc....kind of hard to understand after seeing the movie. :)
The best part of being home is getting to meet our new friends Tanya and Alex Redding. They came home from Ukraine 24 hours after we left for CCR....emry is so excited to have a new friend....and the girls and Ellie think they need to be together 24-7....it's so fun to have good friends to live life/pass off kids with. :) fun for me...and for the kids.
As of today at 5:00, the Bburger casa officially has a new air conditioner.... That is HUGE for us...as anyone who has been here in the summer or when we have lots of people over will agree....our house might finally get cool. Thank you, Lord. Seriously....I could not be more thankful.
I'll post a few pics from the past week.... 3 more days of summer....I don't know if I am ready for another school year.

-Casa Bonita in Denver on the way home.... Yes....the cliff divers were there. Fun....the kids loved it...but....it was not the meal I wanted after a month on property. I'd take CCR any day....
