Things are rolling around here......

Hello Everyone!!
I don't have any new pictures to show, but thought I should update our blog. We had a nice and productive trip "up north" last weekend. Thanks to the Klimie's for letting us bunk with them for the weekend.

Chad handed his Ford 150 pick-up truck off to my cousin Dan, who bought it from him. He then happily received his new(er) Ford 150 pick-up truck from Jamie. He has a very nice set of wheels, as we now have a 4-door truck! I will add that he has been spending this week washing it, vacuuming it, and basically babying it, like most guys do when they get a new set of wheels.

On Saturday, we drove to Amery where our good friends bought a house. We were able to visit with them for a few hours. Saturday night, my parents came up to Barron to visit with us and we had a few good laughs. Grandpa Ken was sporting off his new bandanna on his head! :-)

Congratulations to Paul & Tara as they had their baby on Friday. Their sweet girl, Alaina Lorann, was just as beautiful as could be!! We were able to love her up a little before we left on Sunday. It was so nice of Tara to have had her baby while we were up north. I didn't bring my camera with us on our trip, but Tara took some pictures of the boys holding their sweet new cousin. I will post them when Tara sends them to me.

We also visited with the new owners of our house before we left and finished up a few things with them. We have been able to do the closing from a distance, which is nice. Thanks, Auntie Pat, for your help with that.

I have been going in to work this week to work on curriculum. We spent another day at the beach, as our summer is soon coming to an end. We have also been swimming and going for walks around our subdivision every night.

Carter is spending some time today at the park with his new friend, Brandon, who will be in his class. We have Open House at Carter's school on Thursday. Carter has Mr. C. for a teacher, who I have heard is great with kids!! He is excited to have a "boy" for a teacher. I start Inservice on Thursday and will continue until school starts on the 1st.

Bradley has spent some time at his new school this week. It is hard to get him to leave when we pick-up. He likes his new friends and his teacher.

This weekend we are going camping to the Jellystone Park in Fremont with some friends. Toby has a dog-sitter coming to take care of him. Another mom in our subdivision helps out with Toby if we need her. Since they have two dogs, we help them when needed, too. It is nice to get to know the people around us.

Well, there's an update in a nut shell. I hope everyone has a Happy 1st Week of School next week!!
