Moving Again

Jim got a new job! We are now moving back to the Northern Kentucky area. He starts his new job on September 15th. He is going to be a Systems Analyst. We just put our initial offer on a house in Burlington. Hoping to seal the deal tomorrow!

We'll keep everyone updated!!!

Good-bye Summer!

For this Labor day, a few of us headed down to the Taste of Colorado. It was in downtown Denver. We enjoyed some good (fattening) food like funnel cake, hot dogs, and some fresh ears of corn. We hate for summer to be ending and in another month or two the snow will be starting to fall here in Denver.

Happy Labor Day!!

3rd Grade

Abby had her first day of third grade today. She was excited to start again and see all of her friends. Abby was up nice and early to get ready. So at least for the first morning, we had a peaceful, uneventful morning. Mom was glad to have a day to herself. She got to have lunch with a friend and go shopping all by herself.

What a great trip!!

We just got home last night. We had such a great trip. It was so nice to spend time with old friends and family. The trip went so fast. We started in Northern Kentucky. With friends, we had a party, went canoeing, and a trip to King's Island. Abby felt like a superstar because all of the kids wanted to spend so much time with her. We miss all of you so dearly, so it meant so much for us to see you again. Next stop was Jim's parents. We went to "The Wilds" which is a place where you can take a safari ride and see endangered animals. We made a trip to see Abby's great grandmother. Last on the trip we went to see my side of the family. I don't have any pictures from the rest of my trip. I took a ton of pictures and then my memory card broke, so I lost all of them. We celebrated my parents 50th Anniversary. Next, we traveled down to Pittsburgh and went to Kennywood (which is an amusement park) with my sister and nephew. Abby once again loved all of the rides. She had a great time riding with her cousin, Tom. Finally, it was time to go back to Denver.

Thanks everyone for such a wonderful time. Can't wait til we see you again.

King's Island

What would a trip to Ohio/Kentucky be without a trip to King's Island? This is Abby's absolute favorite place. We met up with some good friends and had a great day. Abby rode some of her old time favorites along with some new rides. The weather was perfect. The humidity was a little rough for me on the trip, but at least there was no rain to stop our fun (well except during the canoe trip at the end).

Here we come!!

Jim, Abby, and I leave for Kentucky today. We will arrive at the Dayton Airport around 11:30 tonight. We will be driving down to KY tomorrow. Can't wait to see everyone!!

Happy 4th of July

Jim, Abby, and I went to the Howell's cabin for the 4th of July this year. The cabin was near Winter Park and Frasier (up in the mountains for the non-Colorado people). We had a great time watching a parade and then to Grand Lake to watch the fireworks. We were completely shocked to see how the people live in the mountains (very few restaurants, no Target, no malls). How do they survive?
