Life is good!

Sun rising behind our house...

This will be the first time we have posted in a while...things have been absolutely crazy! We moved into our new home on May 28th,2008...it is no longer the 'job site'! Prior to the move in we were so stressed out we couldn't see streight. In addition to building, we were living in someone else's home (a blessing but difficult) I changed jobs and now I work at the VA hospital here in Kerrville. I am now a bona-fide federal employee. James has been busy putting people who deserve it behind bars. Karson and Kaiden are back in school at Notre Dame. Karson is in 4th grade and Kaiden in Pre-K 4. Kaiden turned 4 recently and has fully embraced 'big-girl" status. Taylor has gone home after a nice summer visit. Talk about growing up...he has really matured! We are very excited to come to Utah in October. We are looking forward the the 'tour of homes' (Park and Mary's and Kaitlin and Peter's). Of course, the best part will be the opportunityto see y'all and celebrate Peter joining our family. This year has just been bursting with blessings and for that I am very thankful. I hope you enjoy the pictures I have included.

Love and blessings to all.
Grete,James, Karson, and Kaiden

Summer stuff

Hey ya'll! I wish more people would take the time to blog for our family. We are really getting excited for everyone to come to Kat and Pete's wedding. It's going to be a full family fun fantasamogoric time!!

My kids started back to school last week. WHEW! I never thought I would be so happy for summer to be over, but I am! I love the baby monkeys, but I think they were ready too. The contstant bickering starts to get on mom's nerves!

Gail and I are still planning a cruise early next year for everyone. I am shooting for early March or the very 1st week in June. After that it gets too hot! Gail really wants to go to the Bahamas so if you have any input, now is your chance.

Here are some summer pics
