Bibs for older kiddos


These are a few samples of bibs that my sister Penny made for Michael. He's a messy eater but didn't want to wear a bib (for babies!). So we took him to Wal-Mart and let him pick out material. He picked dinosaurs, whales, fireman, lizards, motorcycles. My sister then made him several bibs. He really likes them. Now we need to think of a different name than "bib". Here's a picture of some of her kids all wearing the bibs. She's thinking of maybe advertising these.

A Beautiful Summer


It's been such a perfect summer, the weather has been gorgeous! I can't believe it's almost August. Time to start thinking about schooling Michael again. We've done a little bit each day but it will be full time again soon. Matt will be a senior at ISU and Kristy will be a sophmore at MCC with hopes of transferring to NIU for nursing. I hope all three kids have a very good year.

I'm not a faithful blogger!


I really don't have alot of free time to write but I'm going to try and change that. We are having a good summer. I belong to this e-mail group called freecycle.com and was able to get this for free for Michael. He is so excited to have his own swingset. It will be good for him to practice balance while swinging and climbing up the ladder for the slide.
