Yeah, I don't blog

So it's summer - and one of my summer time traditions is to blog less. Way way way less.  We're just too busy being out and about - and when we aren't out and about, I'm catching up on all the house stuff I wasn't doing while we were swimming or at the lake or whatever.  So here's what you might have missed if you don't keep up with us any other way:

We announced to Facebook that we're having a baby in December!  Today we are at 14 weeks.  Savannah could not be more excited about being a big sister.


Travis and I went to the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota for a week.  Savannah stayed back home with my mom and dad.  She had such a good time that she asked if we could all just live with them forever.  We made some new friends over there - it was strange to not go to Panama this summer too.



Travis has been working hard this summer painting houses with my dad.  He's a hard worker and a great provider for our family.  I'm so thankful that he is willing to work more than his normal job so that  I can afford to work part time and hang out with Savannah!
Also, he got a job offer in Ames! We're excited about this because teaching in Ames will give him an extra two hours at home every day.  He has loved working in Marshalltown, but nothing can replace the time we'll get with him every morning and evening.



And did I mention that our house is a mess.  Yeah - it is.  So off I go to work on some laundry or picking up the floors, or toys, or yard...
