Hello out there...

Yes, there is still life in Slayton, but somehow this lazy mom (or tired mom) hasn't gotten around to writing on the blog. Maybe I'm not too motivated because you all put great pictures on it...that might have to be one of my next goals to figure out how to do that. My "writing" seems kind of bland without a picture to go with it! But be sure that I always read the blog...and totally enjoy it!

Thomas and Anna - It was so fun to see your first day of school pictures...but what a dark morning to start school! I remember that morning - it was rainy and dark here too and I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep - or get up and make cookies and then curl up and read. But you look like you were both awake and "up and at 'em"...and I'm so glad school is going well for you. But your mom did tell me you both have a LOT of homework...

I'm thinking Peter should be posting in the blog (Megan has a good excuse being on bedrest...) - but how about a few pics of your kitchen? (and maybe a few of Megan ??)...This will be good practice because we'll be expecting lots of blog postings and pics when little Peanut arrives! And I'm expecting some pics of the Boundary Waters later this week when Matt is back and gets reorganized...

After working every day this week, it was absolutely wonderful to spend all of today at home. I cleaned the house and got out some fall decorations...even though the leaves haven't really started changing, I'm in the mood (and I may not get around to cleaning again for a while since we'll be in Sioux Falls for Labor Day weekend ...so that motivated me to get the fall stuff out now.) Your dad's been cleaning out the garage in preparation for the hospice sale, which is in mid-September. He didn't quite get to cutting the grass today, but says he'll be sure to do it tomorrow afternoon. In the evening we have a picnic at church, so I'll have to decide on some food to make for that. So you can see we have a very exciting life to write about in this blog...

But - It was great to see Sarah and Megan and Peter last weekend, and we're definited looking forward to seeing all who will be in Sioux Falls next weekend...Hope you all have a great week ahead! ... and Megan, keep on resting :>)

Love you all and miss you!
