1. The big news around here is that Blake is no longer wearing diapers!  He basically decided himself that he wanted to go in the "big potty".  We'd been working on it sporadically but he basically decided himself.  As of today we are a week without diapers.

2.  Wednesday we went to our last JumpStart at Midland for the year.  Mrs. Hoffman read the kids their story and they got to make a craft.  Afterwards they received a special treat and a book.  The kids always look forward to going to JumpStart and Blake will look forward to doing it again next year.

3.  After JumpStart I promised the kids that we could go on a picnic and bike ride.  We parked at Travis's work and rode on a trail with the bikes to a playground where we had a small picnic and played on the playground.
