Hi Everybody:
Well we just had our fourth weekend since the movers came in, and we're finally pretty settled in. We have to unpack old kids toys (the only remaining boxes), and decide which ones to give away, sell, or trash and which ones to keep, but at least you can see the garage now. We could actually put both cars in if I didn't want to keep things clear for a little more shelf work first. The third picture down is of our third garage bay (all clear now), and the bottom one shows Sarah helping to check in boxes as they come off the truck (she did a great job). In the second picture, Chris finally gets to relax for a few minutes on our new porch, and at the top is the morning of the first day of school.
The next big thing for us is getting an audio/video contractor in. We need to have our flatscreen mounted over the fireplace, and I'm going to install a home theater upstairs similar to the one we had when we lived in Knoxville before. When that's done we'll actually be able to entertain visitors.
Meanwhile, the kids started back to school this Mon (8/11). Caitlyn has started high school, and Sarah started middle school. They also started dance again this week, so Chris is back to carting kids around. They seem to be doing OK, but summer was very short for them, and neither has any old friends in their classes - but they'll adjust.
Looking forward to football season (considering season TN tickets, but really looking forward to the Husker season). Hope all is well with everyone. I'll send out email addresses and new contact information to everyone by email. Take care,
John

Wow! The kids really had to go back to school early. I'm sure they will feel at home there very quickly. What a tremendous amount of work you all have had to do. Curt and Lisa are settled in their new home and we celebrated the summer birthdays there a week ago. Sean and Jared start back tomorrow and Kayla is in band camp. Tommy's starts next Saturday. Paul has moved into an apartment. Tim and Betsy Kubacki and family are in Nebraska this week. We will go to Lincoln to see them tomorrow. Thanks for the pictures Dad and Mom
