We have had the best 2 weeks of weather we have had all year. The first entire week of September there was not even 1 cloud in the sky. 75 degrees, no humidity. Just clear, wonderful, deep blue Lake Superior days. This last week was the same, however the humidity creaped-up and took the "perfect" days away. Still in the mid 70's that felt even warmer with the moisture. The boys have started school this week, and Kellen LOVES 6th grade (first year of middle school). He has said that it's "great", "fun" and was disappointed when he had to stay home due to some complications related to his diabetes. Kellen disappointed he had to stay home from school. I NEVER thought those words would come from my finger tips! Kameron is now in elementary school by himself and has been such a great kid and member of our family. He tries so hard to please and make sure everyone is happy. He is such a delightful young man. What a great boy he is. Breanna . . . is Breanna. She is headlong into the 2's. It is always fun to see if you can re-direct her into thinking it is her idea to cooperate when she would rather be a 2 year old! What a challenge. Her personality is so strong. She is going to be some kind of leader of something. We are praying that she will be a leader of something good!

Today was the first day of driving all 3 kids to 3 different schools. Kameron was first to elementary school, Kellen was next at Middle School, then Anna at the pre-school where she goes for daycare. Today I get to pick them all up, pick-up some pizza's, then go home where we are having friends over for pizza and a fire out in the pit. Maybe some fireworks. I can't believe that Autumn is on the 22nd and summer will officially be over. Summer was much too quick. The kids are already picking out their holloween costumes which means the first snow isn't too far behind. Unbelievable. I'll need to get the canoe out atleast one more time to fish for some trophy Brook Trout. We have a lake very close from our home that has the Michigan state record for largest Brook Trout. Kameron still has a brook trout he caught from that lake still in our freezer waiting to be mounted for his wall in his bedroom. It is a beautiful fish. Not the state record, but certainly bigger than what you normally catch. We need to get out camping too. There is so much that needs to be done before the first snow, .e.g., paint the trim on the house, etc., etc.

Anyway, all is well here in the U.P. We are looking forward to maybe having some winter-time guests come for some winter-carnival fun. Hopefully some visitors will make their way east to see us! Just call . . .
