Wow, it's been forever since I've blogged. Unfortunately, I don't have much to say or any news to share. We still haven't completed the background checks through our new agency...although we did briefly talk about it this morning...as we have two dozen times over the past 18 months since we took our training. I don't know why we've drug our feet the way we have. We're just enjoying the hustle and bustle of life I guess. Although the past few months I've been thinking about it a lot again and think its time we got back on track again.

Tyson was busy with baseball all summer and attended 'away from home' summer camp for a week as well. This fall he played football and at the last minute decided he wants to give basketball a try. He's on his third week of basketball and is enjoying it very much. He also started confirmation classes this fall as well and is excited to be in the same class as his best bud, Jack.

We finished our basement this summer, adding nearly an additional 1800 sq feet of living space to our house. It's SO nice to have another place to go to watch tv and relax. The basement consists of a very large family/pool table room, a bar area, an office, bedroom, bathroom and laundry room. We did all of the work ourselves but hired my brother in law to tape and texture the walls and ceilings. We're loving it!
