Catching Up

It obviously has been a while since posting so I thought I would try to catch you up on all that is going on around here. You can start by seeing the previous post of our trip with the Iverson's to East Lansing, which was a ton of fun aside from the game results.



In the past few weeks we have been plenty busy by taking place in the following:

• West Branch Homecoming parade, in which Taylor participated by riding on a float.
• Iowa Homecoming parade, where we enjoyed watching and collecting candy with several of our friends and co-workers.
• Visit to the Wilson Apple Orchard. The kids loved the tractor ride out to the trees where we gather two buckets full of apples, enjoyed fabulous turnovers, and had a wonderful afternoon. Amy made some great homemade applesauce and we continue to enjoy apples with caramel from the orchard.
• Hosted the monthly Dinsanity party.
• And most recently, have been working hard in the yard. The kids had the opportunity to plant their very own Norway Pine trees, thanks to cousin Logan supplying the trees. Last Saturday was spent outside all day clearing and burning brush, cutting down trees, etc. On Sunday we were able to obtain four 6'-10' beautiful spruce trees thanks to our friend and my co-worker Rob Dykstra. I hope to get some pictures on in the next couple of days as the trees look great.
