Update from the Moores

As always, a lot has happened since I last updated the blog.  A few weeks ago, Jana and I had a weekend trip with our friends to the lake and we were fortunate to visit Aunt Sue on Sunday before we made the trip home.  It was great to see her again and we had to promise to bring the girls back as soon as possible.

The summer has officially ended as the girls are back in school.  Ellie has started the 2nd grade this year (it's nuts that she is already in the 2nd grade).  Kaitlyn is in the last room at her daycare so she will be starting Kindergarten next year.  Hopefully we can get her into the same school as Ellie so they can ride the bus together.  Thinking about her going to school makes me sad so I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Despite Jana's best efforts, we decided that it was time for the ladies to have their own rooms.  A few weeks ago we started the process.  Ellie picked out a lovely pink for her room and we found a confetti topcoat that really "girls" up the room.  After a very long night of moving furniture she was able to sleep in her own room, complete with a zebra stripe chair rail and new bedding.  We managed to get it done while the girls were with my mom so it was a nice surprise for Ellie to come home to.  Kaitlyn on the other hand, had the pleasure of walking into a munitions testing site in her room with all of her crap strewn all over everything.  This past weekend, Jana and I repainted her room with a really nice purple....which she hated.  She really wanted a darker purple so we caved and let her pick out a much darker color:  K-State Purple.  It is an awesome color, but maybe not for a child's bedroom as it is pretty dark, but she loves it and she got the same confetti sparkles that Ellie got.

Two weekends ago, we all loaded up and went to Salina for Carson and Ryan's birthday party.  They had quite a setup with a pool, play set, and bouncy house so everyone had a great time.  Karen. Cristian, and the boys are all doing well. 

In upcoming news, the K-State football season starts on August 30th.  To say that we are excited is an extreme understatement.  We are even planning on taking Ellie to a game this year if the kickoff times work out.  I think it is about time for her to watch an entire football game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium since she will be going to college there.  And yes, we have already discussed her college plans and she is on board with it.

 

Hope everyone is well and we look forward to seeing you all again really soon.

John, Jana, Ellie, and Kaitlyn
