So... we were going to be so good at this! And now it's been over a week and we haven't posted anything. Guess I better catch you all up.

Here is what's been happening with us lately:

•  Bathroom is nearly finished in our basement. Just need to put in vanity and lights - thanks Dad for all your work. 
• Eiley (our niece) had surgery on Thursday and is doing very well. We are planning on going to the Dells this weekend to visit her again. Now we can even hold her :)
• Jaden was sick all week last week. Sick babies are good for cuddle time, but makes parents sad. 
• Today is my mother's 50th birthday - Happy Birthday Mom! We all went out to a local Mexican joint last night to celebrate - food was very good.
• Jaden is now crawling all over the house. It is extrememly entertaining. He has also started "kissing" people. This involves an open mouth, slobbering attack to the head. 
• We exposed Dori to her male counterpart in an attempt to create lab puppies. Not sure how to tell if it worked. Anyone know how to tell if a dog is pregnant? 
• This weekend Jaden and I went to Oostburg and spent great time with family. Made me realize how much fun I have with my grandma. And how very dear to my little brother Joel is. I miss him a lot. 
• Being gone from my dear husband for 2 nights makes me wonder how we ever survived 5 years of separation during college. I miss that big ole bear after just one night! Crazy how marriage makes you so much closer! 
• I have off of work tomorrow and am wondering what to do with the day. The logical me says stay home and clean my house. The desire for fun me says try to hook up the bike seat and take Jaden for a bike ride. Or maybe head to the pool and take the little guy swimming. 
• Jared is gone tonight to hang out with Jordan (his brother). See other post for his feelings on his brother. I hope they have a great time together tonight, but it is a bit lonely around here. 
• Jaden spent the day today with Papa and Nana (Jared's parents). They take great care of him, but don't always do so well with good nap-times. So he was sleeping by 7:00! 

That's about it for now! Tomorrow night I have Bible study, Thursday night we have a meeting with social worker, and Friday heading out of town. Where did the summer go! 

Best Friends!
