Well, Summer is just about over and I feel like I have missed so much. I have worked so much that I don't feel like I have spent much time with my kids. Things are getting better at the bank and starting to slow down. Today is Wednesday and I am off work. This is the first Wednesday in two months that I have had off. I am truly enjoying my day off.

We enjoyed the Coffey County Fair last week in Burlington. We went down on Thursday and watched to Sheep show and participated in the pedal tractor pull. Well Grant was the only one that wanted to do it. Lauren didn't want to. We spent the evening with our good friends the Darbyshires. We rode a few rides at the fair and then went to Dairy Queen for treats. We went back to the fair on Saturday to watch the Linsey's show their pigs. They did a good job. After a good lunch at Across the Border (I recommend this restaurant) we went back to the fair grounds and went through the buildings looking at all the nice things the 4-H kids made. Lauren will be joining 4-H this fall and we will be participating in the fair next year. We are all excited and a little nervous as well. It will be a good learning experience for Lauren. Bailey Darbyshire is going to join too. I hope the girls have as many good memories of 4-H as Emily and I do.

The kids are taking swimming lessons this week so I hope to post some pictures of that later.
Our cat Sarah is in the process of having kittens today so I will post some pictures of the new kittens later.
