Percy's 8th Birthday!

Potato Festival 2013

As usual, a great time was had by all at the Potato Festival.  We had a wonderful visit with Grandma Eunice and this time, no 6 hour drive before and after!  Percival's bat habitat, and Hadrian's potato head were both on display and it was a treat to find them as we toured the exhibits. 

This is my fabulous birthday present!

This is my fabulous son and his reading award!

And this is the monster truck rally the boys went to - it was crazy, and they loved it.

Fall Fun

 

Shawna's Brithday

Hadrian's Bike

 

We were all so impressed when Hadrian finally took off his training wheels!  He was riding like a pro - at least for a day or two.  Somehow he managed to get his leg caught between the tire and the bike frame and had to be cut out by the ambulance folks!  He's fine and after a few weeks back to riding.  The bike, however, is beyond repair :)

 

MOVING! (again)

Hi folks, I know I've talked to some of you, but to many, this will be a surprise:  we're moving to Merrill!  I got a job at Klamath Community College, and we couldn't turn down the opportunity to be near family!  We're really excited.  Patrick and the boys are up there now, while I finish up my two weeks at Napa.  The kids started school today (9/3) and while they were very sad to leave, they seem happy now.  As these pictures show, we got the kids' room set up already at Mom and Dad's.   We're in for a whirlwind of activity the next few weeks, but I hope to post again when things settle down.

 

cheers,

Shawna
