Updates

Hi Everyone,


So I thought updating this blog would be a lot easier for me to do, but it's just been a little crazy this fall with only more craziness to ensue. In other words, a lot of updates are needed.


The city of Salina celebrated it's 150th birthday in September. My dancers danced in parade and we had such a great time. We had about 40 dancers all dancing to "some day's you gotta dance" by the Dixie Chicks and the crowd loved it. The girls looked great and my husband had a great truck loaned to us. You can't really see it in the picture but it was a brand new 2009 Ford F-150. I was a little sad when we had to give it back because it had so much room inside, but didn't want the 10 miles per gallon fuel bill.




Isak has just been growing so fast over the past couple weeks. His new favorite word is what. He has discovered that if the wagon is behind the couch, he can climb up on the wagon and climb up over the top of the couch to crash on the other side. He loves to climb and to try to see what he can get up on. That is not necessarily a good thing.

(mmm...styrafoam)

Isak has spent the last couple of weeks not feeling so well. He's working on cutting some teeth and it's been about 6 weeks now and they still haven't come through. On top of that, allergy season has been in full swing. He's finally starting sleeping more through the night so that has been great as Steve and I really hadn't slept a full night since the beginning of August.

We traveled to Manhattan last week to visit Matt and Julie and the boys who came down from Nebraska. We went over for the afternoon and we all took the boys to the new park at City Park. It was an awesome park....there were just a lot of children at the park on it's grand opening day. The boys had a great time but all were a little tired after the trek. You can see from the group picture that it was nap time.

Isak's love for books continues to grow. He is constantly reading and sitting on top of his pile of books. He now will turn to the pages when you ask him where things are and will point at the animals and sometimes I hear him reading to himself in the corner. It is too cute.
