Fall is here

I woke up this morning and stepped outside and promptly stepped back inside. I'm not used to the cool mornings yet. We have been house hunting as most of you know and hitting brick walls at every turn. I guess when my prophecy said "to be patient" he really meant it. Loved having Emma here, I don't usually get much time for visiting and it was nice having her to myself for a few days. The boys are such a hoot....I will let Uncle Jord tell the stories. The girls are full swing ahead in basketball and it is so fun! Rhi and Kat are on the same team and it still seems strange to see Kat wearing Purple/Gold. Everyone needs to watch out for Irish....she is the funnest to watch out of all the girls. I'm looking ahead and cringing about how much money we will have to spend on our next two trips. We leave for Janice's wedding on the 21st and then the Family Reunion....I know it will all be worth it, it's just hard letting go of the money. Creston seems to be getting the swing of being a Pateros Highschool freshman.....a little mouthy....but still getting his homework done....I need to call the school today and get the password to check the grades for the kids. He's been spending time with the youngkids.....they seem to do something almost every weekend. It's nice......but have to address the chaperone issue with the Mom's....should be fun...Ha. I guess I'm old fashioned, but I believe in chaperone's especially when there are couples within the youngkids. Got to go check the mail, Creston is waiting for his flip-flops to come in for the Hawaii trip.

Our Little Drive up Benson Creek

Across the Wheat

We took the long way to Wenatchee this morning. Beebee Bridge is still out, so we went out to Bridgeport and across the Wheat to Waterville. It was storming and raining when we left. A very enjoyable drive.
