Sheesh, it's been awhile.

I guess I am using facebook a lot more than I used to for interesting things going on in our lives. It has been quite the interesting summer with the move and all. Anna has gone on a few work trips and took the kids down to So Cal for some time on the beach.

It has been a slow process in getting our house in order...we seem to lack time. And now we are throwing another wrench into things by having our basement started by Anna's cousin Todd. A few weeks ago we had some cement poured in our backyard for a nice patio, shed and bike areas. But the patio ended up having some issues and they have to tear it up. It looks okay, but the guy spilled some coke on it while drying and it left huge spots where the soda acid ate away at the color/texture. So they will begin that part tomorrow.

The family is doing well. N will probably get his license soon. We had some doubts if he could handle the stress/responsibility. But he has his good moments and I think we'll probably do it soon. Damon didn't have any lineman to have a ninth grade team, so he is playing on the sophmore team this year. He may not play too much, but hopefully he learns how things work and gets better. G is doing really well on his 7th grade team. He seems to understand things better and reacts much quicker. Yesenia is going to the new elementary school starting tomorrow. She is excited. Bekah continues to be the cutest little girl ever.

Anna and I will be going on a 10 year anniversary trip in October to Hawaii. Using my parents timeshare. It should be nice to relax.

That's awesome that Todd is doing your basement. We have Bro. Merrick doing tile in our bathroom, kitchen, laundry and back bath on Monday as well.
