Back to School!

Ashton and Jordan completed their first full week of school...and they did great! It's hard to believe that we have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. It's always an adjustment for everyone to get back into the school routine...but we are all getting there. Regan has had a hard time not having her playmates around. She is excited to start her preschool next week. Cole has been enjoying actually being able to nap in his crib. As many of you may know, I also started "back to school". I am working on earning a masters degree in developmental reading at The University of Iowa. I am just taking one class each semester, one night a week. Last week was my first class, and I loved it! Here are some pictures from the first few days.

A Special Place

There is a place that is a special place, a place where you can swim in a puddle, help Grandpa fix a tractor, swing away the day, run around in pink cowboy boots, relax in a hammock with your sister, or check the chicken coop for eggs. There is always so much to do at this special place and it is full of love and memories.

We spent the last couple of weeks in Missouri at the farm, and we truly love this special place. I am so glad that the girls have a place like this to go to and have adventures. Thanks to Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Steve and everyone else for a great time!

The Littlest Cowboy

One of my favorite pictures from our Missouri trip...we just returned last night, and had such a wonderful time. Our "littlest cowboy" is 5 months old today. More pictures to come...
