Fall Break

We've been on fall break the last two weeks and boy have we made the most of it. The biggest most exciting news is that we closed on our new land and met with an architect to begin drawing up house plans. Very exciting, but that also means cleaning and decluttering feverishly to put our current home on the market. All those little projects you put off suddenly become very important. We aren't sure when we'll put the house on the market, but we're acting as if a prospecting buyer is coming tomorrow. I really need to chill a little.

Fall break has also been a time of catching up on doctor's appointments. Gabe and I both visited the dentist, Jared had an eye check up, and Jacob had his wisdom teeth removed on Monday. Jacob's been down the last few days, but he's bouncing back fast. He's a very good patient with very little complaining.

We have managed to squeeze in a little fun also with a camping trip with friends and Mark, Dad & Martha visiting. Family, friends, food and shopping...can't beat that!

On a serious note, Scott's brother Brian was in a serious motorcyle accident that left him in the hospital for a week. It was pretty scary there for a few days but thankfully after surgery to repair shattered ribs and a punctured lung, he's home with his family and mending.

We also had very sad news this morning. My very sweet sister-in-law Kim lost her mother to cancer early this morning. Beverly fought a tremendous battle and was so very strong til the end. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Kim.
