It has been a great summer. The kids are loving playing outside, driving in the Barbie Jeep, swimming whenever possible, and the sun being up until 9:00 at night. Of course, with new schedules all that is starting to change. Nettie started at our local school a couple weeks ago. She is enjoying her kindergarten at her school, although it took some convincing that "Yes, you want to go to kindergarten again".
John has moved to the next classroom in the day care center, so he is now doing preschool all day, which is good for him. He is our artist and enjoys drawing, cutting, playing with play dough. All fun stuff when you are 3 years old.
Ben is doing well, ready for the summer to end so that he can stop mowing the lawn for a few months. While he enjoys the yard looking as wonderful as it does, it is a chore to cut the grass.
After being laid off in May, although I still had a job until October, I recently accepted a position with a new company. So after 9 years with Western Union, I am moving on. I am very excited for the new prospect and will be starting tomorrow morning.
Here are some recent pictures:
