Update. Since it's been...a month!

Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Well, I'm gonna keep this short & sweet in the verbiage department, and probably quite long and obnoxious with the pictures. I think my jaw his the floor when I realized that State Fair was the last time I blogged, and honestly, that was some time ago! I apologize. Key points since State Fair --
  • We are loving this weather. 70's/80's during the days, 50/60 at night! It's perfect weather...a wonderful way to end the summer.
  • The last weekend of August we headed to Illinois with Seth & Jen, Jacob, Silas & John for the 1/2 Century of Progress Farm Show. Lots of tractors -- Colton was lovin' it! That, and the fact that we basically spent the whole day on a ranger ride....he didn't want to get out of it to come home!  We also got to see my cousin Kenzie from DC, and Uncle Marc and Aunt Denise. That was a long overdue visit!
  • September 2nd was a huge day -- Mom's Birthday celebration as well as Farm Progress Show. Jason, Dad, Jeff and Uncle Dave went together, and because I was working it, I got to crash there man day for a bit. It was fun, I am glad to be back in the Ag Industry for that reason.
  • Labor Day weekend was fairly low key. We traveled down to Trent & Lisa's, a trip we hadn't made since well before Grant was born, and he's 2 years old now! We had a cookout with Jason's family on Sunday evening, lunch with my brothers on Monday, and dinner with my parents Monday night. I also snuck in and took Tuesday off to clean up my house and enjoy myself!
  • This past weekend was Jason's 10 year Class reunion. What a great time --thankfully, his classmates are kind of cool, so it worked out. ha :) We had a blast, and got to return the favor of house crashing to Trent & Lisa, as they were our guests this weekend!
  • This coming weekend is a camping weekend. I'm sure we'll have stories to tell and pictures to share.
I love this time of year. If the weather never changed from this...I'd probably be okay with it. (That's a warning Mr. Winter.....I'm not a fan of you, but don't let my husband hear that, you're his favorite!)

We took a wade in Moots Creek back behind our house one evening. Colton, Regan & Mya stopped for a snack!


Me, Colton & Seth on the Ranger at the Farm Show. Notice Seth trying not to pose...
 
Big Bud -- the reason we drove 2 hours to Illinois to a farm show...
 
Dinner with Kenzie, Aunt Denise & Uncle Marc....Colton LOVED Kenzie....he kept crawling into her lap!
 
Colton & Grant Stinson at a park in Huntingburg.

We also took the boys to a splash park that afternoon --- they loved that!
 
Class of 99 Reunion -- Tailgate on Friday night at the Frontier vs. Tri-County Football game, and then cruise on the Madam Carroll on Saturday night.


A few fun weekends....now to camping, and harvest! My favorite time of year!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
