M.I.A.--The Week In Review

We have been busy.
Yep, I know. We usually are busy. It just seems lately we have been exceptionally busy. And, I guess I have been exceptionally lazy when it comes to my blog. Sorry.
Here is the condensed version of what we have been up to--sans pictures, since I am at work! :-O
Abby
~~~
Abz went with Grandma Pat to Nelson last Wednesday night to spend the night with her. The next day, she went to Durand to spend three days playing with Carter and Bradley last week/weekend. She had a great time with the Dorwin cousins and spending some time with Auntie. She also spent a night in Independence with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Ken and their new kitty, Tiger. She wasn't sure she wanted to come home, but realized she missed her puppies and needed to come home for some puppy love--she could take or leave her mom love...

Andrew
~~~
Happy to be done with his grounding, Andrew has wasted no time in getting back into his social life. He has had various sleepovers at our house, and he has spent the night at some friend's houses, too. He was happy to have spectators at his last basketball game last Wednesday when Grandma Pat, Jordan, and Brittany came to watch his team win their final two games of summer league. His regular season of baseball has come to an end, and his team is undefeated this year. He has a tournament this coming weekend, and then baseball will be done for the year. Nothing else exciting on the Andrew front--thank goodness for that!

Austin
~~~
Austin has been a working fool. He spent five days (last Wednesday through Sunday) at the Barron County Fair working at one of the gates checking wristbands to make sure no one was trying to gain illegal admission to the fair. He worked 13 hour days--and it was COLD! He and 3 other boys slept in Kyle's camper during the weekend, so he was pretty tired when he finally made it home on Sunday afternoon. He has also been coaching soccer, finishing coaching golf, and doing some driving for his dad. He likes to spend his money as fast as he makes it!

Jamie and I
~~~
We have been going to baseball and basketball games, as usual. Our big outing was to go to Rock Fest on Saturday night to meet the nephews and Brittany. That was a fun night, but we couldn't keep up with the "young'uns", and we ended up going home before Journey even started!

Jack and Sophie
~~~
The dogs are busy leaving "presents" in the yard. Jack's fur is slowly growing back, and Sophie got a tiny trim the other day after Andrew gave both dogs a bath. They are both enjoying the kids being home these summer days.

Well, there you have it. The week at a glance.
I will try to be a better blogger from now on!
