Update...We're Stil Here

Sorry we have not been updating our blog in a while. It has been a very busy month. To begin with, I started back to work. The start of the school year has gone well and we are now back in full swing. It was nice to get to normal full days instead of the short, odd start of the school days during the first week.

Emma has started preschool and loves it. She has no problem leaving her mom to go to school. Emma has already found friends and talks about them when she gets home. Although she cannot remember the names of most of her friends, she can tell you what they are wearing. Emma has also just taken up her dance classes. They work on ballet and tap. Same as preschool, Emma loves it and runs to the instructor.

Kelley is doing well in her third trimester. We are getting ready for the new baby. Emma's new room is painted, her bedding is purchased, and carpets are cleaned. Now we are in the process of moving furniture around.

Hopefully things will slow down soon and I can send you more posts and photos. Take care.

Hole in 2!

We took Emma mini golfing tonight. She did it one other time and had a lot of fun. When we pulled up to the course, Emma said she wanted to try this time. We laughed and told her this time we will tell her how to hit the ball. On the 4th hole, Emma got the ball in the hole in 2
shots by herself!

Pumpkin Porter

I'm brewing a pumpkin porter in time for the fall. By far the darkest beer I've brewed. It really smelled like pumpkin pie...and unrefined beer.

Post Race Crash Part 2

I have a feeling I'll do the same thing after running the Bix.

Post Race Crash

Emma is very tired after the race. She wants to sleep at the restaurant.

Jr. Bix

After running the last race, Emma wanted to run another. She just ran the Jr. Bix and loved the hot dogs and popsicles afterwards.

Our New Tractor

After fighting our old tractor since moving to our home, it finally died. We got our new tractor and can finally mow the lawn without breaking to fix it.

Emma's Race

Emma ran her first race today and did a great job. She ran with her two friends named Nate and Nile. Once she got done running her race (about two blocks of running), she wanted to hop in the race with the next age group. Emma got a race t-shirt and a medal.

Kelly participated and did the one mile walk with Lucy. I did the 5K and was happy running it in under 28 minutes. But, Emma was the only one to get a medal...what a superstar.

Fishing

Tonight was the first night of the summer that we were able to go fishing. The bulk of my time was spent fixing fishing lines, but we still had a great time.

It's a Girl!

Kelley and I found out that we are having a girl. Both mom and baby are doing well. The due date is still November 19th.

Sugar + Emma = Crazy

After letting Emma eat some ice cream and some candy today, she is now running around the house yelling. Check this out.
