Update

I don't know how some people do it but they write in their blog every day!!! I obviously get to it quite a bit less than that! I'm not even sure if anyone but my own kids read this!! My plate is very full with 5 kids, each one in various activities, plus a husband who travels alot. We are also in the process of flipping another condo so hopefully that will be done this week and put on the market.

Here are some pictures of the kids first day of school....okay so it was almost a month ago now! They all love school and are doing well. Taylor plays on the tennis team and Hannah on the volleyball team each day after school. Greta just finished soccer on Saturday and Ricky is in Adapted soccer once a week. Once these sports end, Hannah will start hockey (which is a 6 month season!!!) and Greta will start basketball.

Peter is 17 months old. He isn't talking much yet but knows everything we say to him. He goes to a Mom's Day Out program once a week so mommy gets a day off and he gets to be around children his own age. Separation is a very tough thing for him right now! He's a momma's boy!

The last picture is of our newest nephew, Daniel, who was officially adopted by Ed and Martine this morning!!! He is a blessing to their family and to all of us! Daniel is almost 3 months old already. Congrats to them!!!


Fall is in the air. Summer goes way too fast in MN! It is so beautiful outside and we try to enjoy it as much as possible before the snow flies!!
