It has been quite a while since we have posted on here. Life has been busy with volleyball beginning and ending of summer. Andrew's birthday went well. He was so excited for his fire truck cake and had such a fun day. Thank you to all who sent gifts. They were very much appreciated. By the way Dave and Adina, Andrew now refers to the Harry and the Terrible Whatzit book as the Whats up book. We try to correct him but he is just so cute when he says it. Andrew has gotten back on his bike now and rides it quite often and he is getting very good at it. He now likes to ride it to the store and back on our walks to the store. He is such a big kid.

Beck is growing up daily and is so much fun to watch. He gets so excited about stuff now and constantly goes "OOO OOO OOO" when he sees something he is excited about. We also are beginning to have fights with him saying I Love you back and forth. It is amazing to see how much he is talking and understanding things.

We are beginning Andrew in a preschool co-op starting in 1 1/2 weeks. He asks me everyday if he can go to preschool. Needless to say, I don't think we will have a problem getting him to go.

We sold Peter's truck to one of Peter's coworker and have now joined the pack with a plasma tv and mini laptop. We are moving up in the world. We are now a one car family and Peter is enjoying riding his bike to work on the days he doesn't have the company truck.

Volleyball has started and we had a rough start yesterday with a loss in 3 games to our rivals. We were getting alot of bad calls from the ref and so in the 3rd game, the girl who is the head coach got herself ejected from the game. Now it is up in the air as to whether she will be able to coach the team on Tuesday. If not, I will be the head coach for the day. Luckily these games don't count towards the record for placement in Districts so hopefully the girls will pick up our play and play like the team we see in practice.

We are continuing our training for the half marathon and are very excited to head home for a few days for Labor day weekend. We will be getting there by Friday afternoon and staying through Monday. It is great that we get to see you all two times this month.

Anyways, there it is finally after a month hiatus. We love you all and can't wait to see you soon!
