I will be posting photos over the next few days that are taken while we were on the river. Things look a little different from that view.

Today is kind of a slow day. We had Braedon overnight last night and he does really well with it, but he sleeps like Cari used to, all over the bed. He slept with me last night because Brandon had to get up early this morning to go to work and he isn't set up to have him sleep with him. And, by the way, I was able to show Braedon that even old grandmas can throw a football. He was impressed.

Dave and Keith are putting the green boat in the water today. Dave has taken over the boat and Keith has kept the little blue one for himself. They hope Dave's is ready and today is the test. I'll have to let you know later about the maiden voyage.

There really isn't much to tell here today. Just a normal Sunday of do a little bit at a time. Still working on school and I have midterms this week so that has been preoccupying my time.

The photos I have included here are so you'll know what boats I'm talking about. The first one is Keith's and the second is Dave's. They're having fun with them.

We have had some upheaval around here again. It never seems to end, but this one is for the best. David and Megan are no longer together. Megan called it off. He is now living with Abe and Cari in West Salem. Oh, yes, I forgot Paige. How could I do that?

Anyway, we are moving forward and David is getting into the boat that he and Keith are working on so I imagine that will keep him busy. And the best news is that Claire will be coming from Leadville. For those of you who don’t remember, she is the friend who flew in for Amanda’s funeral and again for David’s graduation. She is always there when she’s needed. That will be mid-August and we are all looking forward to seeing her again.

When I get more news I’ll fill you in. I have been working on more photos and hopefully I’ll get them posted soon. Until then, have a good one!

I know I've been neglecting the blog lately. I have not had as much time to get photos. School started again and that always seems to be a huge time consumption factor in my life. Since our company left, I have been getting back into the swing of things with the house and I am planning to do a garage sale with Cari soon. She tried to do one at her house, but we think she didn't have enough traffic because she is in West Salem instead of La Crosse. There is usually a lot more people going to the sales here. So we will give that a shot too.

Hopefully, you enjoy these shots.

I've been going through some old photos again and just thought I would share. The first one is Paige when she was not quite a year old. I purposely did not fix the red eye as I thought it was hilarious. Now that she's two, her mom keeps telling me stories of her escapades. I'm thinking it may fit at times. Yes, I remember the twos. the next photo is of Braedon and Brandon, then Braedon and Amy. They were taken last year. And then we have Paige again being rather reserved for a change. It seems she saw the dreaded "puppies".

I LOVED how these came out. They were all taken from the boat at sunset. It always amazes me how clouds can and do affect the color of sunset. I've seen it all my life, but it still inspires awe.
