Down in Evansville Indiana

Here are some pictures of my folks front porch being
screened in.

here we all are enjoying the finish........

Installing the screen

enclosing a portion of the side and building a roof

I'm sure I have a picture some where of the front of the
house which would be a good before pic.......

Tummy time can be exhausting.............

We tried to feed Abigail cereal a few times then quit..... now

since Saturday she has been eating it every day and seems
to like it. She does make the funniest faces while eating.

Abigail trying out Joseph's recliner

Giving her glow doll a kiss or something like that....
(see Uncle Jim)

Dan left a message for Joseph with his cars. He left for work before Joseph was up.

Joseph thought it was pretty neat!

brother and sister being sweet
together........

Abigail makes the funniest face
when she sticks her lips out..

one of Abigail's first times to eat cereal.... she is not so sure

Abigail's first swing ride at the
park..... she loved it!

Abigail loves to be outside
sitting in her swing at home too.

Daddy giving some pushes

Joseph trying to get into the swing of things....... we were trying
to teach him to pump

Joseph rock climbing

Abigail met a new friend..... she
was more sociable when she
was sleeping....
Johnathan is just 3 days younger

Joseph, Abigail and I met Heather over at her house one day.
She had her 3 with her...... the three children she takes care
of.
So we have Jacqueline, Caroline, Johnathan, Heather, Abigail
and Joseph (not sure that the names are spelled right)



Sorry the picture arrangement and the words are loppy and mixed up.............

First of all...............

Happy Birthday to all July folks.......... Mason, Scott, Joseph, Becky and Rebecca.

As you have noticed I've not posted anything for some time....... guess I can't get on to Glenda until after I up date here.

Not a whole lot going on here...... Did hear back from the Kettle Moraine school district that Joseph can start school in September in the 4K morning program. The school is probably just over 2 miles from us. He is looking froward to and especially if he gets to ride the bus.

I'm still have some pain in my abdominal area and had a CT scan done. The results came back that there is not a hernia. He still wants to see my on Thursday and talk to me about something. I didn't catch what the nurse said because I was still rejoicing that I didn't have another hernia. So I will wait till Thursday to see what the doc has to say..... probably that its all in my head....

Dan does have some work going which we are glad for...... so he keeps busy. I have enough work in the office to keep me busy.......... I'm am so far behind that it is to the point of being over whelming. I need to be more... what is the word... diligent, dedicated, determined.... no.... what is that word I'm looking for..... the same reason I would never be able to home school my children ( other than I don't have the brains)..... any way I need to get a routine.... a plan and stick to it....... GIT-R-DONE

Enough here........... now I will post some pictures.......

Play Date at Craven's

We went over to Justin and Katrina Craven for a play date. The men were working so it was just Katrina and the boys and us.

Jackson is 8 months and he likes to give kisses
He got to new teeth last week.

We were trying to get Jackson and Abigail for a picture but each
time Jackson went for kissing...... so she tried to hold him in

place.

Funny..... Abigail was like.. what is going on here. Its neat how
she took notice to someone closer to her size.

Doing a little visiting here........

Austin (Jackson's big brother) is just 15 days younger than Joseph.

Joseph really enjoyed playing with Austin. Wish we could have
gotten together more.
