Wow! This has been a busy month. Chad has loved being up in Prairie City with Dad and going to work with him daily. But it was starting to wear on both of them. Thank goodness the first day of head start is 9/23. Mom drove up to P.C. Thursday night, alone, the older kids stayed behind in Vale with friends. It seemed really odd to be so alone. Chad and Mom will be driving back on Sat. night. Dad will be facing the world alone after Saturday so keep him in your prayers.
Mom's job is as fun and stimulating as ever, I get such a kick out of the Jr. High kids.
We have had a bit of illness that we could do without, but all seem to be recovering and on the ment. Roni had strep throat and then Alex got it. When Alex didn't seem to be getting better I took her back in and after a little blood work they discovered that she had mono. NOT the diagnosis mom wanted to hear. She has taken this last week off school and been taking it easy, but she is doing better and is going to try going back to school on Monday. Keep all of us in your prayers.
Happy Birthday Grandpa Bill!
Congrats to Julie and Jill.
Love to all of you keep in touch

School is in swing!

School began on the 20th of August. It has been nice and busy since then. We get to have Garys "lil sis" Katie's kids over after school for a couple of hours till thier mom gets done at the bank. They are a lot of fun. Chad went back to Prairie city with Gary for 2 week. Since his Head Start's first day of "school" is the 23 of Sept. we decided it was better if he go with Gary for 2 weeks rather than juggling around here. Naturally I miss him a ton, but truth be told life is easier with out a toddler. I will be gald to get him back!
The big kids are having fun in school, I get reports that teachers are "awesome, cool, and fun", John has started the baratone he is excited.
I am loving my job, and learning lots. Love you all.
