Wow, time flies!

It is amazing how fast babies grow up! It seems like Sydney was just born. She is almost 8 months now, it is acting more and more like a big girl!

Huskers!

It is really too bad that the Huskers haven't given us anything to cheer about this year. The Cornhusker state is all about football. There is a pre-game party that starts a few hours before every home game. Amazingly enough it is free to attend (unless you get a 20 dollar parking ticket like we did). The kids had a blast jumping on air inflated objects, getting their faces painted and getting a balloon.

The Things Kids Do!

One day I was enjoying a peaceful afternoon when my phone rang. It was my neighbor letting me know that the kids in the neighborhood were painting Marshall with Eucerin (lotion). She told me to bring my camera and then clean him up. I was grateful for her suggestion of the camera. It helped me see the humor in the situation. By the way, Marshall thought that it was the best thing ever to be plastered in greasy, thick lotion. Whatever!!!

Back from vacation!

Oh, the joys of driving long distances with children. We have returned from our trip to Idaho! Although I don't think that our t.b. (tired bums) have recovered yet. Marin has been very nervous about moving, but now that she has seen all of the cousins that she is going to live by, she is no longer concerned.

We were able to find a house to rent and I am very excited! I have been waiting for a fenced backyard, garage, and seperate living room/family rooms for oh, 9 years now. I feel like I am being let out of jail.

It was fun to see Loren's office. They are making great progress. There is sheet rock now and brick is going on this week. In a few weeks there will even be cabinets on the inside-thanks to Loren's brother Garrett. This building has made me never want to build a house. Too many decisions! We are now counting down until the big day of the move-Dec. 15.
