hello from Kansas!!! we have finally come out of the heat wave and it is starting to feel like a normal summer. too bad it is almost over but happy that fall is approaching and football season has almost arrived. ellie started her first day of school on the 17th and really enjoys kindergarten. she starts dance again and is really excited for that to begin. kaitlyn has turned into a big girl overnight and is so much fun. her favorite phrases are "ouch, that hurt!", "i got it!", "almo" (almost), "no, i don't like it", "watch", "no roadie!"-rosie is our puppy but kaitlyn calls her roadie. ellie's favorite classes are gym class, music, and library she informed me today. her favorite part of her day is usually lunch because she gets to pick her own food. we had bacon this past weekend and ellie told me that it was almost as good as goldman's. kaitlyn then chimed in with "Almo!" really loudly! john and i are headed to a wedding this weekend in nashville and the girls are going to john's parents ' house with rosie. they love spending time with their nana and papa. kstate football season is approaching-we are looking forward to tailgating our hearts out Again. our season tickets came in . can't wait!
