Summer is officially over and we are slowly getting back to a normal routine. I have been a slacker at blogging and I have a bunch of random pictures of us saying, "farewell to Summer." School is back in full swing for all of the boys, and I never gave Colby an official "first day of school" blog entry. This is probably because he started school this year in JULY- which just didn't seem quite right. So far, Colby is enjoying his third year and loves all of the clinical and hands on learning that he gets to do. I was less than thrilled when he brought home pigs' feet to suture in our "nursery," but Ammon and Carter thought it was great!


As you can see, the "nursery" is now doubling as an office/sewing room/study room/storage room/pigs' feet suturing room. We have a lot of work to do before this baby girl is born.

We have also been trying to take advantage of the last little bit of nice weather before the nasty Iowa Winter hits. Sunday we went on a LONG walk on the beautiful trails in the area. Ammon rode his bike and Cart ran almost the entire time, we think there is a possibility of cross country running in his future.

Labor day weekend, we took the boys miniature golfing.


We also talked the Campbells into joining us for a Saturday at Adventureland. Believe it or not, I took four pictures of these boys together and this is the one that turned out the best.

Ammon also started his fall soccer season. Colby is coaching Ammon's team this season, which means that Carter also gets to play (at least at practice). Carter loves being one of the big boys and grins from ear to ear while he is playing.

One more picture of the beautiful Iowa trails.

We hope you have all been enjoying the end of Summer/beginning of Fall as much as we have.
