having fun in Olathe...

We are still enjoying our visit with Grandma and Grandpa Fletcher here in Olathe. Since I last wrote, Grandma and Grandpa celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary on June 28th. We went to a restaurant called Jumpin’ Cat Fish and then out for some ice cream. Aunt Amy, Uncle Dave and her two sons Jacob and Alex were there also for the celebration of the 51st. Sunday was church in the park followed by a potluck. Mark had a ball playing at the playground and it was hard to get him off the swing. We have been talking to Andrew on the phone as always. He was very excited when he received his birthday present from his Aunt Sara, Uncle Brian and his cousins Maria and Henry early on his trip to Iowa to visit family. So, now every time we talk to him on the phone he tells us all about the Webkinz Samoyed gift from his aunt, uncle and cousins in Iowa. He named his Webkinz Samoyed after our real live pet Samoyed, Maggie. It is really cute. I think it will help Andrew when we have to be away from Maggie. He really loves our family dog. Andrew will be back home soon! We can’t wait to give him a hug and a kiss and get to spend time with him. Joseph has tested and is the next level red belt in Tae Kwon Do. This weekend he is going on a camping and white water rafting trip. He is also working on his Spanish. I’m now nine weeks pregnant and feeling like I’m pregnant…very tired and nauseas sometimes. It is good to have all our families help out since Joseph is in Korea. I will be going to the doctor next week to be referred on to an OBGYN. I’m praying for a good one since I don’t know any doctors in the area. Mark is very amusing as always. He has decided Aunt Amy’s dog is alright and likes to feed Jack the dog his lunch one piece at a time complete with choo choo sounds. He also is comical with one of Grandma’s cats. The cat hissed and swatted at him, so he started hissing and swatting back at the cat. The cat was so scared it started running for her life but not fast enough. Mark was close on her tail hissing and swatting all the way. It still makes me giggle.
