Well, really there is not that much to update you on regarding the eminent (sp) move.  John is STILL talking to the people in Iowa (General Manager for two weekly papers, Red Oak and Glenwood).  Two weeks ago we went to Omaha and met one of the supervisors there for an interview.  That was the third interview he had, since than he has had 2 more!  ( Read more... )

Grant's 6th birthday party went very well yesterday afternoon at the pool (what a wonderful place to have it.  No mess to pick up and not having to entertain kids!)  It was a lot of fun and he got some really nice gifts from his friends and my parents and brother.  He was so excited in church on Sunday morning....I wish you could have seen him.  ( Read more... )

Kari is in dance every Tuesday at 4:30 (I haven't seen her yet because I work on Tues. and that's when I leave for work).  I saw her dance teacher this past weekend and she said that she may move Kari up to the next class because she is way more advanced than the other girls!  She said she has natural talent and, again, that she remembers things ( Read more... )

Today I took them for their pre-school ( Read more... )

In my last post I said that I would be babysitting this fall...well, that has changed.  The other day John was at a GM dealership here in town and was visiting with the office manager (who goes to church with us) and she asked him if I would be interested in working part-time for them.  He told me about it and today I went out and visited with her ( Read more... )

Please tell me that it is NOT only 2 weeks away till school starts!?!?  I cannot believe how unbelievably fast this summer has went!  Wow.

So I've been setting up health appointments, hair appointments, etc, etc., for the kids before school starts and we will go back to school shopping next week.  Wow.  And to make things worse, my little Grant ( ( Read more... )
