So this past week we have had doug’s parents here, which was so nice. they finally got to meet collin and cade in person and fell in love with them of course and of course, how they love meleia. while they were here we had the pleasure of having meleia’s fourth birthday, getting to show them more around town, and go out to eat a few times.. other than that, we just hung around with the kids! besides that, things are going well. doug now is showing his videos on the chamber’s website as well as rolling along on http://www.incentervilleiowa.com I am still going with school with. I have the first nine weeks done this week and finals for those two classes. Then on to two more! We also hope to take Meleia to the zoo next weekend, and Zack and Conner finally get to come visit. Obviously, it’s been a busy time around here! Here are a TON of picture to enjoy!
