September 1-3

We came home tonight to three new pets in our garage!!! Three hummingbirds are flying around the roof of our garage. I tried to get a picture but they move way too fast. I keep looking out there thinking they will be gone, but they are still flying around. The other day one hummingbird came right up to Bill's nose. I think they were telling him to fill up their sweet nectar jar. That same day one flew right by the window trying to get close to Alex. I like them as long as they are outside at a distance. I don't need any more to take care of here!!

The boys had fun going to Barb's this weekend. They enjoyed the Children's Museum in Iowa City. At the farm they ran around outside and watched movies. We met them in Dubuque on Sunday. In Dubuque we went for a ride with Grandma and Grandpa Rhomberg and enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL warm and sunny Sunday. We saw Melisa for a little visit at the O'Brien's. She is doing great and her business keeps growing. We topped off the day with dinner at the O'Brien's and playing with bubbles on the patio.

Today was catch up day! I caught up on laundry, stained our garage door, took the kids to the park/McDonald's, and played board games with the boys. Bill has a long band practice tonight to get ready for the second show on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing the band-especially the BonJovi song.

I had a proud mommy moment in the van tonight. I put on BonJovi's new CD-Lost Highway #2 song=Summertime. Abby started rocking out and the boys sang the words. Oh-it was a great moment!!!!
