I know, I know. I haven't posted in a LONG time, but I promise I will try and keep everyone up to date more often from now on. We have so much going on in our lives it's hard to find the time to squeeze everything in.

Mallory started her first day of First Grade last week and so far she is really liking it. We are looking at some different ways of improving her ability to hear in the classroom and hope they work better than last year. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Riley and I think it's going to be a great year for her.

Last week we also lost a dear friend of ours, Greg Gorter. He was a groomsman in our wedding and basically taught Eric how to do his job. He was a one of a kind person and there will never be anyone like him. He fell down a flight of stairs and broke his neck. What a tragic way to go. The funeral was very sad, but also very moving at the same time. Also very large, around 500 people at the funeral and around 6-700 at the visitation. He obviously touched very many people.

Other than that, not much else going on right now. I will post some new pictures of Mallory's 1st day of school when I get a chance.
