First Day of School

The Summer is finally over. The girls were so excited to start the school year out at there new school. Katelynd is now in 5th Grade and Lindsay is in 4th. They both love their new teachers. We thought that they would be afraid to start at a new school again for the second time but they have transitioned very well. They are making new friends easily and love going to class. Now they are trying out for Basketball at the High School. We will keep you posted on if they make it on the Bulldog Team.

Garage Sale August 9th, 2008

Well I think Jason and I finally decided this was our last Big garage sale. They are so much work. I think the only thing that I got enjoyment out of it was that my house was organized and that I got rid of alot of stuff. Next time I think we are going to just get rid of it instead of sale it. People just want things for free!! It took me a full week to get things together and ready for the sale. The sad thing is the girls Lemonade stand did better than our garage sale. Maybe they can float some loans for the poor student. I did get some good pictures of Jason's special talent though Dumpster Diving. I made him get me some boxes. I couldn't reach. So watch out Dad will just jump on in.

Training For Triathlon On August 30th

For the last 3 months I have been training for the Lake St Louis Triathlon. Wow what a commitment! I never knew how much time it takes out of your schedule for training. I am now up to a 3 mile run at least 5X a week and I try to ride my bike 25 miles 3X a week, and try to manage to fit in 1 mile swims at the YMCA or at the lake at least once a week. I just want to thank my brother Cory for giving me his rode bike. I definitely found an activity I enjoy. And it makes all the difference when you have the right equipment. So thank you Bro you are helping me complete my goal of getting into shape. Just recently my father-in-law Doug sent me an e-mail of a Father and Son Triathlon duo. You have to see this!! I thought I have it hard. This amazes me. Encourages me. Humbles me.
