week in review.....

Just heard about a high school friend's father that passed away last Thursday. It reminds me of about a year ago when my mom passed away. At least they were able to spend some time the last few months with him.
Sammy got new bands on her braces and on Sept. 22 will get her bottom braces put on. She is excited!!! Not sure why.....
The girls have been to the track down the road to ride their wheeler and bike several times this week. Today we ventured up to the Como Zoo and Conservatory. It is WAY different than we remember it and more crowded. The girls kind of enjoyed it, but are getting too old for that kind of stuff. They would rather sit at home and read, listen to music and paint their nails. Teenagers!!!!! I guess we should enjoy the time at home with them, because I know soon they may not want to be at home with us at all!
Valleyfair this week -(we hope they enjoy that!) and the big Steele County fair. Maybe a trip to Alexandria to visit foster family?...
