August!?! NO!!! What have I been doing?!

 I know you all are not surprised that I have again let so much time go by.   I can not complain about my sister Glenda.   I wish I could be a super mom (in more ways than one)  like Linda D and once or more a week telling of all my walks, baking, children........  First I have to take those walks and also bake bread.

Joseph on his first day back to school.  Abigail wanted to be included in the picture.

The Green Bay Packer outfit came in a bag of hand me downs.  Thought we better show some team spirit for Wisconsin.

Joseph getting ready for school one morning.......  Abigail wanting to be right there doing the same as her big brother.   He like to show her how its done...........    At school they were talking about colors and what would happen if you put colors together.  We followed this experiment that was sent home to try with food color, ice cubes and clean soda....  below are the results.

 We stopped in to see Grandma Millie at Uncle Jim's.   Abigail was trying to get the cat......... as you can see in the next picture the cat jumped to the window and then in the next picture Abigail caught up with it again.     We also stopped to see Anna, Teresa's daughter, and her daughter Winter Rose.

 Helping hold Daddy's legs while he does sit-ups.




Abigail likes to wear Joseph's hat around.......  and any way she can put it on. 

 Went to the park yesterday........ was a beautiful warm fall day.  Abigail sure enjoyed her time there.....  I think she had grown since the last time we went because she was able to climb around a bit more.

 So...........  another try with pictures.  Trying for the perfect family picture........

We got some good ones of Joseph and Abigail.  

 Over a long period of time Dan and Joseph collected paper towel tubes, toilet paper tubes, reynolds wrap tube, waffle cone package and other odds and ends...........  Dan planned to make Joseph a space shuttle with launching boosters or whatever they are called.

Joseph was quite pleased with it.
