September

Hello, all! The last month has been full of adventure. Evie made her first trek to Wisconsin. We stayed at Christmas Mountain Village in cabin and did some shopping and hit the tourist spots. The pictures are from Jessie's camera (thanks, Jessie!).

Evie and I have had lunch with Grandma Frannie a couple of times, which is always a blast. We love to get out of the house and Grandma likes to show off her two girls.

On the down side, we have had a great deal of trouble with our landlord. Fortunately, I know my rights as a renter and I'm taking care of things. I doubt that we'll be living in Grandview much longer.

Back to the good news! I was lucky enough to get a position through Americorps here in Springfield. I have to go through the training and then will start within the next couple of weeks (after I read the very long manual).

Jake is on his way to Boston right now. I bought him plane tickets so he and his buddy Ben could go see their friend Chris who is attending Boston University. He's going to have a fun weekend as one of the three amigos!!

Evelyn will be 9-months-old on Sept. 29, which is also Jake's parents' (Rich and Laurie) 30th wedding anniversary. Jake will turn 29 on Sept. 30...and then it will be October!
