I'll Catch Up Now!

I go through phases where I am really good about keeping up with the blog & then I quit completely for several months at a time & have to play catch-up. Since it is now October & I haven't posted anything since May, this is going to be a work in progress, but I have been informed that one can only read about Nick's half marathon so many times before it gets old. I guess the grandparents could use some new material. Sorry guys. And sorry, Nick. You were never really intended to be the star of the show. You had several months to be the top story, but now it is back to the kids.
