Whoa, I thought last time was a long time!!

Okay its late, everyone is in bed sleeping and I am not, so I will blog.

I'll try to fill you in since our last post.

* Had a Dunham get together down at Trout Lake Camp. It was a great family time lots of kids, swimming and had a great time! I should post some pics of the blue blob!! (right Jill??) maybe another night.

* we moved to another house, this time we are out in the country. We are house sitting for a couple that work in Alaska during the school year so we are here till next summer. Its a nice BIG log home. We have lots of space for company so does anyone want to come a visit!???

* Emma turned 3! I can't believe it, she is a sweet girl!! I love her soo much what a joy she is to us.

* Rachel and Dave got married, I sure would have loved to have been there!

* The girls and I had a great visit up to Red Lake for 2 weeks, can you believe we were there that long?? I can't! It was a great time of seeing friends and just hanging out with my family. We got to go blueberry picking twice and I think that was the most I have picked in a long time. We spent some time watching the Olympics which was fun for me since we don't have TV in our new place. Elise and Scotty came over almost every morning (since they were up earlier then we were), went to the park a few times, the beach a few times, got to see the Red Lake zoo (garbage dump with lots of black bears), had a few picnics and overall had a nice relaxing time. Ryan came up Labor Day weekend and picked us up.

* Derek and Elise are expecting number 2, due some time in April. I was really excited to hear that we will have kids together.

* Dwayne and Laura had a beautiful baby girl (which was my guess :) ) Eliana Brooklyn - Aug. 21

* I had planted tomatoes at my mil's this spring and boy did they produce!! I have never seen soo many tomatoes! and big ones!! We made a few salsa's, I froze some and Ryan has been eating about 3 a day :)

* I also had my ultrasound this month, we are always excited for that. We got to see Baby 3, we don't know what we are having so you'll just have to wait along with us. I measured right on and we are still due Jan. 30th.

* Two of my sister-in-laws were due this month, on the same day. Both lady's went over due and one decided to be induced, well wouldn't you know both delivered that same day! Lori and Pete had another little boy, Eli Edward and Jesse and Jessica had a little girl, Carly Joy. Both families are doing well.

* Ryan was able to help Pete out with harvest driving truck for a couple of days.

* I started a Beth Moore Bible study on Monday nights, it has been very good!

* Last weekend Emma and I were able to take part of Women in the woods weekend. We had a good time we had beautiful weather and got to know more women of our church. We also got to have wagon rides pulled by a horse, which was very exciting for Emma. The next day Emma got to go on a horse ride by herself (well led around on a horse), she was soo excited to do that.

* Dakota is growing, she finally got out of 12 month clothing to 18 month clothing and size 4 shoes. She got another tooth one of her "I" teeth. She has learned to nod with yes, and shake her head with no, which is very helpful when she is not able to say what she wants. She loves to do what her big sister does (except jump on the trampoline) its fun to see her mimic. She doesn't say much (Mama and Emma) but only when asked to. She can be funny at times like a little tease, but most always has a big smile!! She is an absolute sweetheart!

* A friend of mine just recently told me she is expecting! I am so excited for her and her husband this will be number 3 for her too.

* We are able to work off some of our rent so we are busy with projects on the house when the weather is nice.

* We were able to go to Steinbach area a few weekends ago and see some old Red Lake friends (Matthew/Rhonda, Daryl/Robyn, Marcia (Frey) / hubby, Michelle Frey, Paul/Rhoda Frey, Dan/Brenda, Tammy/Menno, Dwayne/Laura). It was great to laugh and see each others children growing up. Nice time to connect, but as always not long enough!!

* Our church was expecting 11 babies at one point this summer (July). Since then 6 of them have been born, 3 girls and 3 boys. Needless to say the church has been busy with baby showers :)

Well that should be enough for a little bit. I will try to some pictures, maybe in the next day or two, we'll see.

I should go nighty-nite.
