Our 3 favorite boys all have their birthdays within days of each other! Matthew (in red) our nephew turned five.


My Godsons, Christopher (in blue) and Gunnar (not pictured) turned six! Christopher had his party at this great train shop complete with a private room with the coolest train setup, a train cake and the honor of putting your handprint on the wall with your name and birthday! It was great. We can not wait to have our boys parties here.
The pic is foggy
as I forgot my camera and took this on the blackberry. This is Aley standing in a dorm room at Truman State College in Kirksville Mo (where I went to college :-) We dropped her off for 3 weeks to attend the JBA program (http://jba.truman.edu/admission.asp#top) for acceptional academic 8th,9th and 10th grade students. It is very competitive and she was accepted to the Human Lab course - last week was cadavers! Amazing what the young mind can achieve!! We miss her so incredibly much. Our home is way too quiet without her. It really drove home the fact that we are not ready to be empty nesters in 3 years when she goes away to college. She is such a great kid and we love having her around, and are having a hard time thinking of the day we have to let her go :-(

My sister in-law w
as so sweet to bring her little ones all the way from NC to us for a visit. This was our first time to meet little Katherine. She is such a sweet baby. David has a very small family and they are spread out all over so we are always so thrilled when we get to visit with them.

The family room is coming along slowly..... but surely. The walls are up and primed and the staircase is almost completely refinished.
Oh ya, we have to get ready to leave - less than 2 months away!!! All I have really done is get the plane tickets (always helpful to have!!) But atleast that is one thing out of the way. I have succeeding making the longest list of things to get done --- just haven't crossed but one thing off yet.
Busy Busy Busy! But it is so fun!
