Good morning everyone! Joyce and Dick are here taking care of mom so we just got back from drinking coffee with them. It is starting to feel like fall and I love it. Viola spent the night here with Allie just for fun last night so it was nice to have someone to get up early with! School is going great. Jeff has finally adjusted to everything. They have won their first 2 football games. He got to play a lot in the first game and even caught a touchdown pass. The second game he didn't play as much but he still is enjoying playing and the social aspect of being on the team. He still has a MAJOR amount of homework every night, but knows what has to happen and gets it done. He is determined to make the honor roll so I feel good about how things are going. Allie has learned that Mrs. Nuessen expects only your best and the other day on her spelling pretest missed 3 and "didn't even mispell a word!" She didn't dot and I, she didn't put a big enough space between 2 words, and she didn't write neatly enough on another. I love that her teacher has such high expectations. She is doing well and loves school. One year ago yesterday we moved into our house. It seems like we've been here longer. We are going to celebrate Allie's birthday with friends at a Royal's game on the 26th. Everyone has raved about the new and improved stadium so I'm anxious to see it. The BBQ was awesome. Galen and I sold almost $4,500 in ads, 78 double tickets, and 25 single tickets. I was very proud of our accomplishments! We don't have the totals yet but I'm sure it was a success. It was fun having everyone here that weekend. I still think that we have THE CUTEST great nieces and nephews in the world! We are having a BLOG 101 class this afternoon here so maybe the blog will get more action soon. Love you all.
