It's been a very busy, though not very warm summer. The girls took a trip to wisconsin dells in july and had a wonderful time. They went with grandpa and grandma wygle. August has been a busy month. The 8th we took our annual trip to adventureland. It was Carter's first trip and he had a wonderful time. Though he had little patience for the heat and the long lines...just our luck summer decided to come the day we went, with temperatures over 90 degrees! We did get a chance to cool off at kokomo cove. Kaelyn loved the rides, the scarier the better. She loved the tornadoe. Abby decided to try the roller coaster this year, unfortunatly she found out she didn't care for it. She started crying after the first hill. It was heart wrenching not being able to stop the ride for her, but she made a full recovery afterwards...no more roller coasters for her!
The 15th we had Carter's 4th birthday celebration with a small gathering of family. After the party we went to the sweetcorn festival where we all had a good time.
The kids all had an opportunity to enjoy 2 weeks of vacation bible school. They had a wonderful time learning about god and all he does for us. During the wrap up for vbs the kids had a musical performance. Unfortunatly Carter was suffering from the "I want mommy"s and he just stood up there looking rather angry during the whole performance, needless to say he was memorable! The kids are looking forward to Awana starting in September.
Kaelyn took swim lessons this year, she did well...her greatest accomplishment was being able to retrieve the ring from the bottom of the pool!
Chloe has had a rough patch of fevers and general blah's, as she is now teething! They are popping up left and right, leaving us with many sleepless nights. She has gotten 3 in the last week! Lets hope that the worst is over. She has also started crawling, and pulling herself up on everything! She's very eager to be able to play with the kids, but moreso to be able to play with the cats! She will chase after them anywhere ( I'm pretty sure that was her motivation to crawl!)
John has accepted a new position at Toyota Financial where he is currently a collection agent. he will be switching to customer service. we're pretty excited about the change, it means hopefully that he will enjoy his job a little more!
School starts in one week. Kaelyn seems excited but Abby is claiming she doesn't want to go! This will be Carter's first year of preschool! He is excited to say the least. I'm also excited for him to have other boys his age to play with. Well, thats all for now! I'm sure we'll have more to report in the next few weeks as school starts.
