I went over on Thursday to see my new little
Great-Nephew! What an adorable little baby. I got my "Baby-fix" with a little "hold-yous". Dawn and Hunter will be Great parents!

So! Welcome to the world: Wyatt Marlo Anderson!!!!

OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE

So...I'm taking a stop out of my comfort zone! As of this Monday, I have 4 more weeks in my present position at work. Fairview offered me a position last week as a Homecare Case manager, and I have accepted! I really feel that is the right thing for me to do next as I really have a desire to work in this area. It will be a large variety of patients and duties, but also alot of driving. Sometimes I think I'm a little old to be trying something new, but God has a plan for me in this so I'm taking a step out! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOya!

They've Come to Take Them Away - Hee-Hee

Well, after weeks and even months of suspicious behavior in the neighboring 2 houses.....the police finally made a sting! The police with a multitude of vehicles and men spent the day at the house next door...Grandma said " I'm not sure I'll get supper ready....there's too much to watch" Hee Hee. Mike went over to the house, but of course got no info...just "we're processing a crime scene" . The mailman said the police went in with guns drawn and took 2 people out in handcuffs. They have been in and out with those big rubber gloves all day. Sooooooooo we got it figured out, (being the great crime scene investigators we are) - must be a meth lab? Well, we'll probably know next week when it's in the shakopee paper under police calls.

Maybe we'll get our neighborhood cleaned up now.

The funny thing was, Karen had just talked to me this morning about an apartment on 25th and 13th in Mpls and I begged her not to, as it was a really bad neighborhood....she brought that back to tease me after our little adventure yesterday.

We're Back! It was a fast trip, but SOOOOOOOOOO worth it! It was so good to see Jason, Andrea, and Boaz. Andrea and Jason made us feel so very at home...Andrea had the prettiest little "Welcome/Happy Anniversary basket" on our bed when we got there. I think we gained a few pounds while we were there....Andrea is way too good a cook....I'm trying a great Thai recipe this week.

We had a ball with Bo! He's such a happy baby... so very busy....and really likes being around people... (especially grandpa and grandma, ha ha). He's getting a couple teeth- halfway through...so he was a little fussy, but grandpa and grandma were happy to give him a little extra spoiling...after all, we won't see them again until Christmas.

I took a little trip while I was there...actually, it was a short quick trip down the stairs at about 3am...was going across the hall to the bathroom and didn't want to wake everyone up by turning on the light ....thought I felt the corner of the bathroom so I stepped in.....OOOOYA.....stepped into thin air and flew down the stairs on my shoulder/leg! very graceful....just thankful nothing broke....got bruises and aches and pains to show for it...but feel very lucky! Guess my trying to not wake anyone up didn't work...oops....

Well, anyway, we still are glad we went ....had a wonderful time. Here's a couple more pictures of our time with the kids:

The summer has sure flown by!! We've been so busy, but it has been a great summer.
Mike and I were planning a little Anniversary get-away this weekend to Iowa. Well, He came in the bedroom at 5am before he left for work and said."I just have to have a "Baby Bo Fix"!!!! So, I talked to Jason and Andrea and they were nice enough to let us come - we hope they know that we will be looking forward to seeing them, too!!! Are we crazy? We will leave here Friday evening and coming back by Monday night...Mike can't get away more than that.....It should be fun though...Mike and I really enjoy traveling together. ......Andrea just called to give us info on how to get on base, etc. , She says that "Bo requested" that Grandpa and Grandma watch - his Baby Mozart movie with him....We are going to have soooooooooooo much fun!
