Happy 4th Birthday Hallie!















































We got some warmer weather in August, so the girls got to enjoy some pool time outside. They love the water. We celebrated Hallie's 4th b-day last weekend with family and it was a good time. They stayed at the hotel, so we got to go swimming at the pool too. Hallie wanted jellyfish on her cake...and a volcano, so I opted for using gummies that I found online and we've got an ocean/beach/volcano combo. Thanks Grandma for assistance with the frosting. Hallie helped me make the clams and the kids had jellyfish dogs as well. It was a fun theme.

The new job is going well. Students returned yesterday and Mother Nature decided to rain on us for move-in, but eventually we dried out. Orientation is going well and classes start Monday. Hard to believe it's almost September.

July Fun
















Hello! Feels like July has just passed us by. I did get a few pics along the way. Went bowling with some folks from work and the girls enjoyed themselves. It was their first bowling experience. Dan's family also came up for a visit one weekend. We went up to a Town & Country Days thing just up the road. Watched the parade, rode some rides, petted the animals, and went through a demonstration for the kids about fire safety. The other day we had a great rainbow in the front yard. The one pic is of Hallie being goofy, it cracks me up. I got the girls pictures taken last weekend and they turned out well. On Monday I started a new position at Davenport University and it's been going well thus far. Hard to believe that in a few short weeks, the chaos will begin!
