Where to start?

It's been another busy month for everyone. I can't believe September 2009 is almost done. Where did the time go?

We had a great time camping with my parents. The kids loved it. It was my first experience with a private campground and I was amazed at how clean it was. The owners worked very hard and it showed. We will definitely be back.

The girls are loving gymnastics and the drive isn't bad. Their teacher seems very friendly and works well with the children. Anna did a somersault Friday morning on our bed. I don't know if it was by accident or if she has mastered the skill. Troy told me that he did a somersault the other day and it was hard. I've tried to help the girls flip their legs over, but never have tried to do one as an adult. Don't know if I could :)

The house is very quiet and empty this morning. Just Molly and myself. Troy spent the night at church with the youth group. The kids are spending their second night at Aunt Nikki's. It feels very wierd to be home alone. Nikki is meeting us at church with the kids. I can only imagine her weekend, with 5 kids under 7.

Brandan had an awesome football game Friday night. I was so nervous near the end. It was a fight. The flying dutchmen won by a touchdown and are still undeafeted. It looks like we will be going to playoff games in November.

Yesterday we saw my Uncle Mike and said goodbye. It was not an easy trip to make, but am glad we did it. I did get some time to spend one on one with my cousins, Mike Jr and Amber. They both are incredibly strong for enduring such a hellish time. I can only imagine what the last 21 months has been like for the whole family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and Aunt Clara.

Keep my dad's family in your thoughts the next couple of weeks, please. It is going to be very difficult for a lot of individuals.
