Just checking in with a life update...

1. We moved into the house last Sunday and we're sure glad we did! We had originally planned to move this past weekend, July 7/8, but thankful we moved it up because it was HOT (in the high 90s) and humid. It would have been miserable! We had 9 people in total helping, and we had the truck loaded at the apartment and unloaded at the house two times in 3 hours. It was fantastic...definitely the smoothest move I've had in a long time!

2. Caitlin got a pooch for her birthday. His name is Toby and he's an almost-2-year-old beagle/spaniel mix. He sure is cute! We got him from the Humane Association and he's had his ups and downs, but all in all seems to be a pretty good dog and has adjusted well.

3. Since we moved early our Internet service hasn't been switched over and won't be until this coming weekend so I'm not able to post pictures because I'm doing this from work. As soon as we're up and running I'll post more pics of the house (after our lovely paint job) and Toby. :)

4. Cait's softball season ended a couple of weeks ago. Her team didn't do so hot, they only won 3 games all season and lost the 1st game of the year-end tournament. On a positive note, Cait was selected from her team to play on an Allstar team. That was a lot of fun for her, and her team won the Allstar Game. Since softball ended she's just been hanging out at home or the pool for summer fun. She spends a lot of time with friends and she is also taking band lessons to get ready for next fall. On the 27th she'll be leaving for California for 3 weeks to visit her Grandpa and Grandma Carlson. It will sure be quiet around the house! :)

That's all for now. Check back soon for pictures!!!
