Final Countdown...

Well the summer, for us, is winding down. It is hard to believe that it has come and gone so quickly. These last few days have been packed full of fun. I (Ann) always try to do as much fun stuff as we can in the summer when Kaleb and I have the freedom to do so. So, to let you in on a little of it…My aunt Kay and cousin Erika came to visit us last week. We had lots of fun enjoying their company. Nick’s mom came and joined us last Thursday. She is busy interviewing and getting settled into the area. Kaleb isn’t quite sure why she is around so much. I think he believes people should only stay here a day or two, since that is what they usually do. He asked Grandma Barb the other night, “Bama, why are you still at my house?” Barb told him, “I’m going to stay awhile and visit you.” He said, “Why?”…his favorite question… and she responded with, “Because I want to spend time with you.” Kaleb said, “Grandma, you’re cute!!”

Kaleb and I traveled to Forest Lake, MN on Sunday to celebrate my cousin Ashley’s graduation from high school. It was so much fun to get to spend some time with my mom’s side of the family. Kaleb loved having some time to play with Conner. The party was held at a local hotel, and let me just tell you a room full of Loscheiders is loud! In spite of that, Kaleb and Conner managed to take a nap on the floor of the meeting room while the party went on around them. They had a blast swimming and causing trouble together.

We returned home today and Luke (Nick’s brother) and Jess (Luke’s girlfriend) along with Jess’s family are here. The kids are getting moved to town, as freshman move in date is this Wednesday at MSUM. We sure have enjoyed their company. Kaleb is plain tuckered out. He is running a fever tonight and went to bed early. Maybe we had a little bit too much summer fun?? One more week left and we shall savor every minute!!
