Wow, how time flies! We've been soo busy since I posted last...we've been camping, hosted family and friends, gone to the UW Arboretum, taken a trip to Champaign, IL, went to my nieces graduation party, Jacob graduated from Kindergarten, went to a Mallards game and recieved a package of treats in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Jennissen......enjoy! Jacob has really excelled in writting his letters over the summer. I can't believe how much he has improved! John is still working on going on the potty....seems to do better for Danna at Daycare than he does for me! Oh well, I'm hoping by his 4th birthday he will be trained! (Grrrr!). Oh well, I guess their could be worse things!










Working outside the home has been quite challenging for all of us. We are still getting use to all the changes around the house...like laundry not getting done and dinner being more rushed since I don't get home until late. Ryan does a great job picking the boys up from daycare each day and getting dinner ready. I don't think I could do this without his help.








We miss all our family and friends and hope that you can come for a visit soon.....take care!
