It seems that Preston will actually be attending Pre-K at Notre Dame Catholic School this year! And so our journey in school begins. I’m excited that Preston will get to go to Pre-K, even if it’s only three days a week for half-days. Preston has been pretty bored at home, and I think he is ready/wanting something.
After a few days without Preston, he’ll be coming home today. I hope Papa and Grandma didn’t spoil him too much!
It hasn’t started yet, but I’m sure Russell will start asking where Preston is soon. Preston’s staying the week with Papa and Grandma. He gets treated like royalty for a few days, and then they send him home to mean old Mama and Daddy. I actually look forward to being a grandpa! lol
Donna had her ultrasound today. The new baby is a boy! I think his name is going to be Todd Daniel. Now we’ll have three boys running around the house. Exciting! 🙂
We had a nice trip up to Minnesota. We got there the day before the family reunion, and so we were very busy at the beginning. I was starting to think that we were crazy for coming. However, later on in the week we were able to relax and enjoy our time. Roger, Emmit, Preston, and I all went geocaching on day where we picked up a ton of caches. I even collected geocaching souvenirs from North and South Dakota that day! We are glad to be back home now, though!
We leave Thursday for Minnesota. In the meantime, we’re working on cleaning the house. I don’t want to dread coming home because there’s a huge pile of dirty laundry to do and lots of other things! I’m really looking forward to the trip. It’s been a long time since we all got to go on a “vacation”.
Last Wednesday my brother and his wife visited. It had been ages since I had seen Matthew, and I had never met Crystal before. We had a good visit, but they didn’t stay very long. I had to work Thursday, and they left after lunch, so I really only got to spend a few hours with them Wednesday night. If you guys are reading this, we need to visit each other more often!!!
Today is Donna’s and my 7th wedding anniversary. That’s right; we’ve been married seven years! We really don’t have any plans for this evening. Though, Donna’s parents are taking Preston for the week (they were going to anyway, not just because it is our anniversary!). I think Donna is wanting to eat out somewhere or do something like that. Personally, I don’t care for eating out all that much, and I would rather have a meal at home… We will see! I’m sure we’ll end up doing something, but I don’t know what.
The kids enjoyed the Knights of Columbus’ Enchilada Dinner. Russell pigged out. Preston preferred the cake…
Boy the weeks have been going by like crazy! I think that it is kind of scary how fast they go by. When I was working at Lawton, they seemed to just drag on and on. When you don’t care for your job, time seems to slow down… a lot! I am so glad that I now work at Gunn. I just wish I had better health insurance 😛
