Is it Summer or Fall?

My goodness, the calendar says it's August 29th but the thermometer says it's October. It read 59 degree's in our living room. Terry woke up and told me to shut the air conditioner off :) We are enjoying the cool temps though this summer. Lower gas and electricity costs for us new homeowners.

With the cool temps, we've been working on lots of little projects around the house today. Kiyah has been dad's little helper. It's so cute...she is right there along side him with her own screwdriver or whatever tool they happen to need. Funny thing, sometimes she knows more than she should about taking things apart.

I can't believe that summer is almost over. Kiyah will start preschool on Sept. 15th. She'll go two days a week for 2 hours a day. She is so excited... I will start daycare again in a week or two also. It will be nice to get back into that routine...we have lots going on in September and October. We are participating in the Brainerd Area 1st Annual Memory Walk to raise funds for Alzheimer's research. My uncle was diagnoised about 6 months ago. I'm holding a Pampered Chef party in October while planning Kiyah's 4th birthday and attending a friends wedding too! Jeepers!

I suppose that my groceries will not put themselves away, so I had better. Until later...

New Blog

Well, Terry and I have always talked about having a family blog to share pictures and keep the rest of the family updated. I think we've finally found a good site to keep a blog, especially since there are other family members here. :) I can't promise that we'll always be on top of updating, but I can promise to give it our best try.

It's been a little over a month since we've been in our new home. Wow, it's been an amazingly crazy, yet satisfing month. To be able to call this our own...to be able to paint a wall without having to ask permission (other than from your spouse) is wonderful. I've attached some pictures of our house before we moved in or made any repairs whatsoever. I'll try to get some after shots taken just as soon as the laundry gets off the living room floor :)

ps. If you know of any friends/family that would be interested in following along with the MN Mikesells, let me know :)
