End of the summer

It' s the end of the summer and the kids have all gone back to school. Where did it go? We spent much of the summer settling into our new house. It has been great to live closer to mom and dad, even though it's only a block closer. The yard is really overgrown so we've spent alot of time clearing dead bushes and trimming back hedges. With the sprinkling system working the yard is comming back to life. If only I can get Ethan to quit running over sprinkler heads with the lawn mower.
Jen has started selling her crazy stuffed creatures and baby bows on etsy. She is having a great time doing it. What has been funny is to hear her laugh when she finishes sewing one. It's like seeing your baby for the first time. She has also discovered the art of text messaging. I believe that someday we won't need to talk because we can just text.
I took Nick to meet his first grade teacher yesturday. i have never seen him so quiet. He said he wasn't nervous because Jen made him a back pack buddy. After he said he needed a slurpee at 9 in the morning. I guess its never to early for a slurpee. The best part is a Draper City policeman paid for Nick's.
Jen and I are both going to try and keep up with this new blog stuff. So hopefully more to come.
