HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I know this is a few days late, but we wanted to send Andrea a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY from WISCONSIN! We can't believe that you continue to look so good - even at 29. We hope you had a great day - let us all know how it went!



We all had a terrific time in Utah and appreciate everyone accomodating us and our schedule. It was great to see everyone. We are getting ready for school to start. McCall is extremely excited to start 1st grade and has her first "recess" tomorrow night. She gets to meet her teacher and play with the other 1st graders. Olivia is also excited to start going to "Livy's Church". Her pre-school is at a local Lutheran church - it came highly recommended and she feels pretty special to have a church of her own :) Boston is excited to have Mom to himself every now and again. He keeps talking more and more and although sometimes we have to translate for him - he amazes us everyday. Mom and Dad are looking forward to having a schedule back in place (the Fall tends to help with that).



Between family, work, church, and everyday life - we tend to stay very busy. We spend each day learning something new. The great thing is that we learn from someone different each and every day. We are very happy and are afraid that as soon as the floods stop (it has been raining a lot) we go directly into having to bundle up for the sub-zero temperatures. Oh well, at least we can have some real good cheese any time we want!
