Greetings from Utah












Hey Everybody,
How's everyone doing back home? Hopefully everyone is good. We're getting settled back in after our trips to Illinois. Cori and Jacob started school today and Cassie starts next Monday. It was a busy morning. It was the first time in months that the kids jumped out of bed the first time I called them! They were so excited to start school.(New shoes, book bags, lunch boxes, etc.) Cori has a lot of her friends from last year in her class this year so that made her even happier. Now Jacobs class this year will be a little different. We went to orientation last week for him and found out his teacher from last year, who he really liked, had found a teaching job closer to home and would not be returning. Then he found out the school psychologist, someone he really liked and built models with,would also not be back. We heard he also has some new students so hopefully he makes new friends and gets along great with his new teacher. I have no doubt he will do good academically. Cassie seems to have mixed feelings on starting High School. She'll be O.K. as long as she tries. She starts Drivers Ed soon and we have to take her to get her driving permit so she can start practicing driving with us! I can already feel the gray hairs poping out! As everyone probably knows already Jacob broke his arm again for the 4th time! He was playing out front with the neighbor girl and wiped out on his scooter, which he was not suppose to be riding, and broke it in the same spot as last time. I'm tired of broken arms and I know Jacob is too! Anyways...I'll try to keep everyone up to date on what's going on out here and add pictures when we atke them. Here are some pictures we took on the way home from Illinois. Hope you enjoy them. As always, miss and love everyone very much.
