I've had some major technical problems and that is why I haven't been around.

Thank you to all who've checked in to see what's up.
I appreciate the concern.

But all is ok and my site is back up due to the wonderful people at Dreamhost!

I'd love to say that there has been so much going on and catch you all up but it's been life as we know it.

Kadison is 5 months! Yes, 5 months. She's rolling over, picking things up and putting everything in her mouth, she smiles and laughs all the time and she'll probably be walking before she ever crawls!

I took a trip back to Wisconsin to see family ~ a quick trip but so worth it. The trees are already changing colors, the sunflowers are drying up and my Grampa P. is digging up the last of what he planted in his garden. Fall is coming and soon after ...the dreadful winter.

Kadison got to meet her extended family - her cousins, her crazy great aunts, her great grandparents and everyone in between. Of course, everyone loved her and she enjoyed seeing and meeting them. She was such a good traveler; can't wait for the many trips this little girl is going to be taking!

Sad news to tell ~ My Dad's father passed away last night. My dear Grampa A. I'm comforted by the fact that I got to see him last week and that I held his hand, told him I loved him and that he knew. He lived a good life.
You will be missed Gramps...You will be missed....
