Summer is about over!

Well, like it or not, summer is pretty much over. Craig started football practice last week and I start reffing this weekend. We really enjoy football season though and I was really glad to look at the volleyball schedule and realize I didn't take TOO much. We have really enjoyed the summer, but we are looking forward to a little bit of a break from the heat. I just hope it doesn't freeze too early this year! I am really looking forward to getting as many tomatoes canned as possible this year along with more green beans and corn.

Cailee and Chris left us last week to head down to Cheyenne for school. We are excited for them to be moving on, but will sure miss them. Hailee hasn't quite grasped the fact that they are gone, she still looks for them. I am sure it is going to be kind of a hard adjustment for her to have them gone. Things are just so much more exciting when there is someone around besides just mom and dad. The other hard one is going to be that Lauren is leaving us tomorrow. Lauren is probably Hailee's favorite. She spends hours playing with her. She is headed to Russia with the ILP (international language program) for 4 months. I don't know what we'll do without her, but we are excited for her to have this unique experience. We know that she will be great and that the Russian kids she is going to teach are going to be very lucky to have her!

We had a check-up with the Dr. today. I must just be paranoid, but I always feel better after we see her and know that everything is going good in there. She did a quick ultrasound to see if there was any chance we could see the gender... no luck, the little stinker had it's legs crossed. We will hope for better results in 4 weeks when I have my 20 week ultrasound. A boy would be nice so that there is no pressure from here on out, but little girls are fun too. We just hope for healthy no matter what. Other than Brac's little incident last week things have been pretty normal lately... Such is life I suppose.
