Since we last left you...

Here's a recap of the past 6 weeks:

Mike and Noah went on a Father/Son outing to the Monster Truck show. Noah looked forward to it all week, and wasn't disappointed.


Daisy is growing like crazy.

She has now graduated from this:

To this:

We are starting to wonder if she confuses herself for a cat, or perhaps a lap dog.


We were able to get out and pick raspberries again so that we could replenish our freezer supply.

Lots and lots of volleyball. The season finally came to an end and we have regained a little time again. Megan had a great season and really came a long way. She is looking forward to trying out again next season.

Not wanting to have too much down time, Megan jumped in and joined the cross-country team for the last 3 weeks of the season. She was actually heavily recruited by the coaches due to her extraordinary performances in PE. So far she has run in 2 races, and came in 2nd and 3rd on her team. Looks like we tapped into an unknown talent!

Noah played his first season of soccer. He seemed to enjoy it, and even managed to score a goal. Baseball still seems to be his favorite sport.



Sammy and Noah allowed us to have a first-hand experience with the Swine Flu. Fortunately the anti-viral medications made things fairly mild and quick.

I was able to get away with some friends to Kansas City for the Time Out For Women event. It was the first time I had ever gone away overnight without either Mike or the kids. We had blast eating lots of yummy food, doing lots of shopping, and hearing lots of good speakers. It was a great time!
