Summer updates...

Summer is in full swing here, and with only one month to go before school starts, we have tons of things left to do. I wanted to quickly update everyone with some of the recent photos we have taken, accounting for some of our activities.

First, here is Quinn with her garden project. After planting seeds for a second time, we finally had some success and she now has something to show for her work. This is how big her plants are today, and with any luck they will only get bigger!

Owen completed his second summer of baseball. This year he was in a new league (sponsors were the Bandits) where they had pitchers instead of a pitching machine. He mostly played short stop and, all things considered ,played pretty well for his first year with real pitching. I believe the team went 7-9 which says a lot since most of the players on the team were 1st year players. James, as coach, was really proud of his boys and expects them to get even better as they become more seasoned! This is Owen on the field with the big "Bandits" at a recent home game, to celebrate the end of the season. I know you can't see him well, but they had a really good time!


July was a busy month, between holidays with the D's, anniversary parties in Indiana, birthdays and a trip to Devil's Lake in Baraboo we kept very busy. This is us at Devil's Lake. We did some geocaching along the north shore and had to climb some rock walls to get to our destination. Quinn amazed us by climbing the entire way herself! Stubborn and headstrong...I wonder where she gets that from!



Work on the attic is still underway. We finished the knee wall on the east side of the house and framed in a closet. Construction is at a stand still for the moment,until we can find some money to buy more supplies, but slowly the room is taking form.
