Time is flying by...

We finally have internet and email set up at home. Yeah! We went up to see Kass and Chad's new house Friday night and they let us use one of their old phones so I should be connected again by the end of the day. I have been feeling a little isolated without email and phone. Thanks Kass!
What a beautiful place they will have! I am so happy for them! The plans for the house look great! It looks like it will be a practical use for all the space and they will have great views from every window! How lucky Paxton and Tessa will be to have that great place to form their childhood memories! I am proud and happy for Chad and Kass of taking the big step of building. It will be awesome!
We got to see Jackson playing football Thursday. What an athelete! If he can stay focused on the game, he will be a force to be reconned with. How cool for me to have five grandkids to start. A little overwhelming how much I feel like a grandma! Kind of weird. Great kids.
We had a great visit with Kevin and Jessica. They have a lovely home and Kevin is a lucky man to have Jessica. Nice to get to know them both a little more. It didn't feel like we had enough time! I so appreciate Kevin treating Erika like a kid sister. He is a good brother for all of the girls!
Erika has been working on her 4-H record books since she got home from Bible camp. She is sure growing up fast! She has been such a good kid this summer with all of the new stuff we are throwing at her. Good to see glimpses of the adult she will be.
She helped Roger with an auction Saturday night. She does a pretty good job for a ten year old.
Roger has been working a lot and has a lot on his plate right now. You know the old saying, 'make hay while the sun shines', I think that is the way it is with auctions. Busy, busy in the summer. It was nice yesterday to spend some time at home with the three of us together. It seems like we haven't had too much of that so far this summer.
Grandpa Stan is doing well. Erika and I are preparing to spend a little time with him after his surgery before school starts. Erika loved being at his house last weekend. She said it felt just like being at my mom and dads. We will have to remember to get a new ball for Dolly next time we go down.
I better get moving, we have a busy day!
