Last Week.

Last week...

Ryan started a new job! We were not planning or expecting this at all. Ryan wasn't looking for a new job, but when a friend who use to work at the same office called him up and offered him one, we had to take it into consideration. After thinking and talking about it and finding out all the details, we decided it would be a great fit. So now he is working for Southwest Design and Construction. They build a lot of the steel commercial buildings in the area and Ryan will be a project coordinator. He is looking forward to a change and to getting back in to the construction side of his schooling.

McKenna had her summer dance intensive all week. She went Monday-Friday from 10:30-4:00pm some days, and some days till 5:00pm. She attended tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, and acro classes. I was worried it would be a lot for her and that she would be worn out and tired, but each day she came home with a smile on her face and lots of energy and was always excited to tell me what she did and how her day went. Every morning she was excited and ready to go back. She loved every minute of it and learned a lot. I got to go watch some of her classes on Friday. It was fun to see what she learned. Now she has two weeks until her regular dance season starts.

We went to visit the Roelofs. I use to babysit Nicolletta and Marcella and now they are all grown up and like to watch and play with my kids. We tend to only see them once a year, which we really need to change. The kids love going out to their house because there is a ton of fun new things for them to do. The girls played with some of Nic and Mar's old toys, the boys played on the Xbox, they went for quad ride's, played with the cats, played air hockey, and had fun playing with Nic and Mar. I had a nice visit with the girls and Mike. The girls want the kids to come for a sleepover in the next month. They are looking forward to that. We love our Roelof family and hope to see them more often.

We went for dinner at the Swen's. Nicole is my cousin and I babysat her little guy Will all last year. She and her husband are both teachers, so they have had their summer off which means we haven't seen them. It was so fun to get together and see them again. The kids loved seeing Will again and loved checking out his new house. They loved his big backyard. They all played so well together. Hayley and Will actually played together, which didn't happen too often when I watched him. We are excited to have Will back at our house once school starts. I will be watching him till the end of November and then Nicole is off on maternity leave. Will is getting a new baby sister. We are so happy and excited for them.

Last week was definitely a good week:)
