How was London!? I can't wait to hear about it and see pictures. Sorry I have been so preoccupied and haven't check the blabbing bloger. This summer was busy and went by fast. We had one of our best times in Idaho. We just really slowed down and hung out and it's so different when it's not a holiday. We canned peaches and froze corn, and went camping up at the hunting spot.

I went to Iowa for my 13 yr. IMS reunion, we had that 30 yr. celebration for dad, and a bunch of other stuff.

The first of hopefully several permanent cutbacks, I finally quit coaching Transitions because it took too much time away from family. Shane and I are talking lots of ways we can slow down and live on less. I know you all have been saying that for a while, but I finally am getting it, and am tired of all the business. I am also realizing how quickly Seth is growing up, and am going to have him evaluated for sensory integration disorder. I'm just noticing more and more that way, and it just hit me that what if I am too busy to work with my own son? So that is the last straw for me and really is waking me up.

Levi is growing so fast and doing great. I have had a hard week because we learned that Geoff, his dad, is going to try and get him in his care. We took him out for supper and are trying to keep that good communication open, but he has decided to go that route. He has to comply with a pretty rigorous treatment plan to get him, so if anything, it will make this whole process drag out and take a long time. I feel like he is going to get him because he wants so badly to make it work, but we just have to wait and see.

We also have been tending our jungle garden, which I think just froze last night, but I have been canning and freezing tomatoes, beans, peas, apples, carrots and zucchini. :)

Salad, the turtle is in the garage because it's too cold, I don't htink he's too happy about that. ok now for some pics.
