SORRY for the gap between postings...

Okay, here is the long awaited update. I know it has been over a month. But what can I say, summers are busy. For those out there that think teachers do nothing but sit by the pool, let me tell you....we do a lot more. Things are busier in the summer than they are during the school year because we put everything off until the summer. Enough about that...

Okay, so since the last update, school ended, mom and dad bought a house in Frankfort, we've had Father's Day, and a few play dates for Kelsey.


Let's start with the new house. Mom and dad will be living a street behind us. Kelsey will be able to walk through our backyard and cross the street to get to their house. It's going to be wonderful!! We are all very excited and can't wait for them to move. So, the move in date is 7/8!! They have finally got their house on the market in Corbin and have showed it a few times. No takers yet, but it's only been listed for a week or two. We are very optimistic and they are asking a very good price for the house, so we are hoping that will draw in more interest. So, here is a picture of the new house. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen/den, dining room, sitting room, 2 car garage, and a nice size yard. And, the yard is FLAT with a few small shade trees. No more forest surrounding the house and a driveway that looks more like a skate ramp.


EJ is back home and has been helping mom and dad get the house ready. He returned toward the end of May. He plans on going back to work soon to save money for his move to California. So, if you've been following his blog...you might as well quit. He will probably not update it again. Mom and I are trying to convince him to start it back up once he gets to CA. But we'll see.


Okay, so Rusty has been painting here and there for some extra cash. When he isn't doing that then he's fishing and hanging out with us. He had a great Father's Day, or so I think so. I fixed him and Kels breakfast in bed. Kelsey got him an ipod and he has used it quite a bit lately. Thanks to Aaron Mayes for helping him set it up and giving him some music to listen to. Here are a few cute pics from that day.


Let's see, Kelsey and I have been pretty busy. We have been back and forth between here and Corbin trying to help mom and dad out as well. We also had a huge yard sale with the Vaught's. So, here are some misc. pics of Kelsey over the past month. Oh yea, she had her 18 mth check up in June. She is in the 95th percentile for height and 65th in weight. She is really tall and she is slimming down and losing the baby fat. She is a BIG climber, it has only gotten worse. She is becoming or wanting to become independent. She must feed herself and she has regular temper tantrums. I hope it is the terrible 2's early and not an indication that the 2's will be harder than this! She has also become a photographer over the last month. She runs around with the camera and you never know what she'll snap a photo of. Some have been scary. So, I'll also put a few of her first photos on here.

some of Kelsey's first pictures.

Now, we are going to be out of town for a few weeks on vacation. We are hitting Louisville, Atlanta, Orlando, and Albany. So, I will have lots of new pics to put up soon. So, check back. I'm hoping to have another update by the 1st part of next week.
