Summer is winding down in TC now and it really went too fast.  The weather still has been great but with the kids heading off to school (started Kindergarten last week), fall is now setting in.  Football season has started and it doesn’t look like the Spartans are going to shine.  We are still going to try and get down for a game or two if we can and visit with some of our old college friends though.

Kindergarten was a big deal last week and the kids are really liking it so far.  They get to ride the bus so that is pretty exciting.  They were pretty non-plussed when we took them the first day and barely realized we left.  I think it was a bigger deal for Krissy and I.  Krissy posted some photos on the Photos page so you can check it out along with some Camping pix we took.  We started with the Swim Whisperer (Jim Rupert) a few weeks back and now our kids are swimming like fish.  Jack has really taken to it and Maggi is making great strides so I can’t say enough of what Jim does.  We think we wasted all our other money on lessons compared to what Jim has done in a few lessons.  We will keep on it and just glad the kids are enjoying it.  We also have Dance (for maggi), Gymnastics and Soccer (for Jack) starting up now so it will be a busy few months.

Holcomb was able to swing by while he was up in Reed City a few weeks back. I got to hang out with him and it always good to catch up with him.  We even got a little late night Wii action in during 40 dog night.

We headed down to Grand Blanc last weekend for Dad and Ann-Marie’s 20th (Kelly and Kristin too) anniversary so we got us, The Muskgeon Kernans, The Alabama Kernans, the Brants, the Heibers and the Rinks together to celebrate.  It was great catching up and the kids had a blast with their cousins.  We don’t do it enough but we make the most of it when we do.  We have another party in Grand Blanc this weekend so we will be back down there and then home for awhile.  I am back and forth to St Louis for awhile for a project so Northwest Airlines will love me a little more.

Thanks to everyone who could make a trip this summer up to TC.  We had a blast catching up with folks and playing with the families.  Hope more people can come up and stay with us even through the winter.  Soon enough it will be time to break the snowboard out so we are up for it.
