Well, as you can all see, the long awaited update is here. Also, as you can see, I've finally started to figure out this blog thing.

We had an interesting summer adjusting to a new baby while Kellan was working and pulling his hair out over Math 1010. But we definatly had a good summer in spite of Math 1010. We even braved it camping for one night. We were sure we'd end up getting eaten by a bear, or loading 3 crying girls up in the middle of the night and heading home. But everyone had tons of fun, and we're glad we took them. Good memories. Also, we planted out first garden with Aunt Tee. We have tons of potatoes now, but not much of anything else. We blessed Libby, and enjoyed having our families up for that. Mostly we just enjoyed having our own back yard for the first time ever, and playing in the sand box and kiddie pool. I can't figure out a slide show, so I'll just have to post a ton of pics for now.

Now Kellan back to school full-time and working part-time. He finally convinced his manager to give him the morning shift, so for the first time in a year, Kellan gets to be home almost every night for dinner and bedtime. Yea!!!

Anne turned 4 last week, I can hardly believe it! She's quite the quirky little girl, and has definatly kept us entertained over the years. Her latest is to call everyone, including her parents, "sweetheart" or "honey". You can just imagine.

So finally the explaination with the flour pics. One Sunday afternoon, the girls made a tent and wanted us to play with them in the tent. Kellan had had to work really late the night before and I was eight months pregnant, so we were both really tired and ended up falling asleep in the tent. A while later we awoke to the sound of clanging pots and pans. "Great!" I thought, "Their into the pans again." So I stick my head out of the tent and can just see into the kitchen, but instead of seeing the kitchen, all I can see is a cloud of very fine white dust. Yep, my kitchen was completely covered in 15 lbs of flour. And we're not just talking the floor. It was in all of the drawers, and all of the pots and pans which had all been pulled out. And right in the middle of it were two little girls throwing it up in the air and shouting, "Sparkles! Sparkles!"Anyway, it wouldn't have been so bad except the week before they had flooded the bathroom in about two minutes- the people beneath us had water dripping from their bathroom ceiling. And, just that morning they had woken up early and very quietly to make sure they didn't wake us up, they emptied the entire contents of my sisters purse (she had forgotten it the night before) leaving a trail of stamps( an entire book of them) and change throughout the house. Also, they ate a whole pack of Trident gum. Well, at least we get cheap entertainment by taking pictures!
