It has been forever

Well folks, it has been a very long time since I posted. Always seem to be busy at something or other. We here are doing well. Dave and I have been (mostly me) have been painting the rooms in the house. We had new windows put in and are now painting and soon will be putting in the window casings. Of course, our dogs are doing well. Nukkee is getting old and slowing down alot, but the other 2 are still pretty full of energy and Dave takes them on a 3 mile hike pretty much every day. They love it.

Next, the grand kids. Wow, they are growing up, going to school, involved in sports. Devin has begun his grade 1 and seems to be doing quite well. Rides the bus everyday and has asked his Mom not to come out and meet the bus in the afternoon. He is a big boy, apparently, and likes to run to the house on his own. He grew up so fast after starting school last year. He played soccer this spring. He seemed to really enjoy it. Got them to get rid of some energy that was pent up. LOL

Ian also played soccer....was so much fun to watch the boys play as they don't really know the rules so they just run all over the soccer fields and kick goals into either goalie. We laughed lots and really enjoyed this special time. Ian has started pre-school this fall. Loves it. As I knew he would.....He is a social butterfly that one. Apparently can't wait to get out the door in the morning. He too is growing up fast. Both boys now have their bedrooms in the basement. So each has their own space and a little more room. Ian doesn't always sleep the whole night down stairs. Every now and then Jodi finds him in his old bed on the main floor. But for the most part, he sleeps down stairs. They both take turns spending weekends with Grandma and Papa whenever possible.

Now we have little Levi. What a little man he is. Wow, attitude and temper.......whew...... you can tell he is a redhead. But what a charmer and smart as a whip that little one. He loves to play outside and absolutely loves animals. Besides looking more like his mom then the other two, he also has many of her traits and the love of animals comes from her and his grandmas. He is growing up way too fast. We tried keeping him a baby as long as possible, but of course we are unable to do that for long. I have enclosed pics of all the boys and their summertime activities. Hope everyone enjoys the blog post.

Bye for now
