It has been such a long time since I have updated this blog. SORRY to those that check it regularly for updated pictures and stories. My life has gotten sort of hectic with Tadd and I both being in school, as well as Dalton and Porter being in school. Homework seems to be the only thing we all get done on a daily basis...sometimes I think we are lucky if we all make it to the bathroom on time. :)

We recently went to a pumpkin farm for all the festivities. There was a hayride, petting zoo, warm food, corn maze, and outdoor games. It was a fun night, but it got cold. I think we all liked the corn maze the best. It was scary trying to find our way out, especially since Dalton, Porter and Jacoby took turns being the leader. :)

We found an AWESOME drop off daycare place...it is called Skidaddles. The first time we took the boys so Tadd and I could go out on a date, this is what we got back......

We started a "special day" reward system with the boys. Each gets one special day a month. We started with Dalton, in August. He decided he wanted to go bowling. It was a fun day. The other two boys go to our wonderful drop off daycare center...Skidaddles. Porter wanted to go to a festival in September, which was also fun. Jacoby wants to go to the Aquarium and see the sharks, which we will do sometime this month (October).

Over the summer we traveled to Pennsylvania. It was so nice to see everyone. The Igou family had a reunion and the Lambert family had a birthday party for Mam. I missed the cabin terribly. We had not been there in 3 years...too long for me. The boys warmed up to everyone at the reunion and played with the Igou kids like they had always been around them and had a blast at the cabin. Sort of makes me wish I was still a kid. Oh well, it's my turn to cook and clean now. Either way, the cabin is still the most relaxing place on earth for me.

Before we left for Kentucky, we stopped by Mam and Pap's house to say "Happy Birthday" again and goodbye and then we were off.

We made a pit stop at Cabela's in Wheeling, WV, and the boys found something to climb...big surprise. We let them out of the car for an hour and they always find something to climb on. Boys will be boys, I guess.

As soon as we moved to Florence, our lives took off. There was so much to do. We bought a membership to the Cincy Zoo and the Newport Aquarium. We go as often as we can...the aquarium is especially nice on rainy days when we don't feel like going to the mall to play on the playground.

Once 2008 got here, time started to fly by. The boys continued with school, Tadd and I continued with school, and Jake kept right on growing. We had decided in September of 2007 that we would be leaving Grayson. It was just not the place we were to be. We were being nudged by God to move to Northern Kentucky to help plant a church. So we spent as much time with our friends from Grayson as possible, let the boys spend some quality time with their friends from school, had a birthday party for Porter, and then left on May 23rd to start our new adventure in Florence Y'all. On the way to Florence, we drove over a few "rumble" spots...just to see Jake make his "pap face".

After Christmas, we were able to spend some time with our friends in Grayson...the Begans! Here are Dalton, Porter, Delanie, and Payton all cheesing it up for the camera...Jacoby must have been sleeping already. We love the Began family!

We were able to go to Ohio just before Christmas. It was a fun time. We got to visit with Tadd's whole family and with my Ohio family. We spent some time with Liesl and James in Logan. I am pretty sure the boys would live on the staircase, if they were allowed. I don't think Jacoby left Melanie's side for a moment. This is one of the only pictures I think we have of all the Glaub grandkids. Aren't they all so gorgeous! They boys got to see "Santa" again also...Jake was not happy about that chance meeting at all!
