Hello everyone out there in blog land.....you'll be happy to know that we did not fall off the face of the Earth. Life has been pretty busy around here. I wish that I could tell you that we have been taking all kinds of trips to tropical locations, but unfortunately it has been mostly work related. But we're back now, so I'll try to catch you up on some things. We finished the landscaping, and it is now officially after the 4th of July and the plants are still living. Some look better than others, but they are all still alive (I think). Here are some pictures of the finisished project. We took our first official road trip with Beau down to Monticello, Iowa for Brian and Amber's wedding. Beau traveled very well...the trip was still short enough that he could sleep most of the way. We also took Beau to his first MIGHTY Howard County fair, back in Cresco. We walked through and looked at all of the animals. He was pretty content to just look, and wasn't intereste...
