Welcome

We've decided to venture away from Facebook for various reasons thus the creation of this new blog. We have always enjoyed keeping in touch with family and friends. With the blog we can share what's going on in our lives with friends and family who are not FB members. We had a wonderful summer despite Mark having to be away in Iraq for 12 days. In July we were able to travel through several states to visit with family and friends. We had a great time! We just ordered school materials for the boys and plan to start school on August 14th. We can't believe that Isaac is starting 5th grade! Matthew will be in first this year. Seth is 3 1/2 and just as silly as ever.
