Congratulations to Bill and Kris and Lisanne and Nick!!!!!! They welcomed another addition to the household yesterday, a baby boy currently named Baby X. Hopefully all will now have a smooth adjustment process.

I'll leave work early today. My boss if real flexible that way, and so we'll be able to hit the road early. We'll be on the road by the time the kids' naptime, so they can sleep while we drive. Although, John tends not to nap as long when he's in the car. Have no idea how Hanna will do as she hasn't been on a long drive like this before. We should get to the farm then in the early evening, enough time to get the kids settled, etc... Not sure what we'll do for their beds. Might put a mattress in a closet for John. Then, I'll be in Sioux City for a couple days and will return Sunday evening. Rhonda will take me over there though and come pick me up so she can have the van for the kids.

So, will be off the air here till at least next Monday. Enjoy the holiday weekend, the last gasp of a dying summer. Waaaah. Winter begins on Tuesday. My it gets dark early these days.
