Aug. 6

I hope you are enjoying catching up with our family. It is taking some time but we are getting all settled in. Steve has started back to school and tomorrow will be the first day the kids arrive. He is a little nervous about it. I think once he gets going he'll do fine.

A couple of weeks ago we found a little kitten behind our house at a constructions sight. No one claimed her so we listed her on Craigslist and she found a new home tonight.

So we are back to being 3 dogs, two cats, and two rats. Life is fun.

Eric is looking forward to starting his new job. He will start on Monday. It will be part-time to start with then in about a month or so he will go full-time. That will be a big help as he has bought Rebekah's car and needs to start paying her.

We had a really big storm tonight. The picture on the right is of the sky after the storm. It wasn't a fire. The rain was very much needed. We had planted several plants in our backyard including Lilacs, Russian Sage, and Rose of Sharon, (a very pretty pink flowering plant) and they really needed it. Of course we always see a rainbow at the end of the storm.

Have a great week. Oh I forgot to include a copy of Elisabeth's cake which Rebekah made for her sister's wedding. Not only was it beautiful, but it tasted great too!!
