As I sit and much on cheesy quesadillas (pardon the bad typing!) I figure I should update everyone on the first two real weeks (after mom went home) of life in smalltown.  Well, Anna fell running into the house and had 4 stitches on her face. I slipped while cutting veggies and stabbed my hand resulting in 5 stitches and we had a family battle (all except for the Logan, the little veggie lover) with food poisioning (from some meat at a graduation party). And, O almost forgot, my mom had a horse riding accident and broke her hip and wrist and is in a hospital in Missouri, probably until this weekend. Other than that, we're just trying to find our new "normal" (that always seems to elude us!)

I've also added some pictures of our crazy retro basement that is actually in the process of being updated. Though the kids are begging for the shag (nasty, old, shaggy) carpet to stay, it is leaving and we may frame a piece just for kicks!  Did I mention we have an AMAZING landlord! The upstairs is already updated so I'll toss in a picture of our, lovely orange couches.

Tomorrow we go, as a family, to our first brandin'.  I'll try to update with tales and pictures over the weekend!
