It was so good to see Adam last weekend. He flew into Dbq and we all went in to pick him up at 4:30 on Friday. He was going to go meet a friend in Dbq that night but that fell through so we go to spend Fri night with him. Abby, Trent, Addy and Tory were here for supper that night. It was nice just catching up. Dad and I went to bed @ 10 and then Adam went out to meet up with some other friends in Cascade. He did get home rather late and was still in bed when we left to cruise @ 11:30 Sat morn. He had Mike and Katie's wedding that day and came home Sunday. We had a family picture taken out at Abby and Tory's around 3. It was raining so it was a quick process. No standing around or trying different angles or changing positions. But we got it done and even got some pics with Grandma Grace. Joe and Sherry came down with Mom for supper that night. We got a couple games of Euchre in of course. Adam stayed overnight at the Toppings that night. We spent Monday cleaning the garage and just spending time with Adam. Adam and I went along with Abby over to Trent's TKD lesson. Papa stayed home with Addy cause she was sleeping. We all went to Happy Joe's for pizza. Then it was Tuesday morning and time to take Adam back to the airport. It went so fast. I am just so happy that he is happy and doing so well. It makes it easier to let him go when I know that he is happy. The way time goes he will be home for Christmas before we know it.
I am now getting ready for the Reinbergs next weekend. I am so glad we got the garage cleaned and ready for the kids. I went to Dbq with Abby, Trent and Addy today and got a lot of my groceries. I have the menus all planned. Now I just have to start cooking. I really am looking forward to seeing all of them. Hopefully the weather is nice. We are planning on going to the Pumpkin Fest in Anamosa on Sat. Then we will probably have the Loes' down on Sat night. I think we are all going to the Monastery for mass on Sunday. Busy busy but fun. I am actually waiting for my turkey to get done so I can go to bed. Aaron loves turkey/dressing sandwiches.
Jon and I actually might get a new vehicle. We test drove a F-150 today. I know we need something different but I really do hate buying new vehicles. It is so much money!!! That must be why we only buy new ones every 12-15 years. I told Ted, the salesman, at that rate that this might be the last vehicle we buy.

Adam is coming home!!!
I looked and the last time I blogged was August 15th. Yikes! And I think I blogged about how fast time was going and how busy I was. I think it is worse now. I am excited though because we are picking Adam up at the airport tomorrow at 4:25!!! Yay!!! Can't wait to see him and spend some time with my whole family. He won't be around til Sunday but I will take any time I can have with him. We are going to have a family picture taken Sunday. Haven't had one for a while and I guess we have to do it when we can.
School is going good. The days go so fast and we are so busy. We have been raising monarch butterflies these past weeks. Have released 2 so far and now have 4 chrysalises and 1 more caterpillar. It has been great and the kids have loved watching them but I will kind of be glad when they are all on their way to Mexico. I feel bad when 1 doesn't make it and I worry about them. Not to mention getting milkweed every day to feed the little buggers. Hopefully these last 5 will make it.
Trent is growing so fast. I picked him and Addy up this morning and took them to daycare and school. Trent wouldn't even let me walk him down to his room. He said he knew the way. Said goodby and he was gone. He was a little dickens tonight when he wouldn't go to Tae Kwon Do for me. I wasn't about to take him screaming so we stayed home. I think Tory thinks I shouldn't give in to him and I agree in principle but I am not going to fight those battles. So we stayed home and he got to help Papa and we played and he was good the rest of the night. Little Miss Adelyn is also growing at lightning speed. She is so much happier now that she is walking. Loves to keep up with her big bro. Adam won't even recognize those 2. I feel bad that he doesn't get to see them that often. We are going to have to start skyping so we can see and talk to each other.
Am going to bed. I need my sleep just like Addy does. She and her mom must get it from me.
