New Things

It has been a while since Rob posted about the cowboy movies that he wanted to see, and a lot has happened. Over Labor Day weekend, Rob, Ollie and I traveled back to Sioux Center for a friend's wedding and to visit our families. I didn't tell my mom that we were coming, and it ended up in a big surprise. We went out for lunch and caught up on things that have been happening over the past couple of months. It was great. We spent the whole weekend with both our families, which was long overdue. We traveled back to Chicago on that Monday, stopped in Des Moines and then I traveled on to Chicago in a rental car because mine had broken down. After a few days of stress, Rob drove back a new car.

In other news, Kris and Josh finally got the chance to see Jake. Jacob Thomas arrived this past Monday, and we would like to welcome him. We can't wait to see him next weekend!

Other than a new car and a new member to the family, Ollie got a new haircut! When we were home, my sister Ashley took out her cow clippers and did a number on his long hair. It was quite the task, but we think he looks good.
