Hello to all!! I was going to ask for a count for Labor Day as well :P Tanner, it looks like you're getting settled into your apartment. Your kitchen looks pretty spacious. By the way, I saw a video of you dancing in your mom and dad's kitchen. I didn't know you had those moves in you LOL!!! I would like to know what you were making that day, I think I'll try it. Who knew cooking could be so fun hahaha. Steve, I like the deck. I bet breakfast is awesome out there in the mornings :) Marleigh is learning something new everyday!! She has moved up to a big girl toothbrush lol. Today, we started working on potty training. She's been on it 5 times but produced nothing, haha :( She knows when she's going but just doesn't make it in time. I know that with each day it will get better, at least I'm claiming that anyway!!! Anyone got any tips?

Tanner making dumplins...they are goooood.

About how many people are we looking to feed on Labor Day weekend, someone do the math?

Tim: Just bring the weiners and buns - I believe the mustard and ketchup are already taken care of. Don't the weiners come 10 to a package and buns in 8 or 12 packs?

Good Morning again!

We will bring 4 dozen wieners and buns, a large bottle of mustard and a 3 lb. bottle of ketchup!

I have an unspoken prayer request guys and I know you all are the best warriors! Please pray today:). Thanks and love to all,

Hi Everyone, We will be bringing napkins, cups, onions and dessert. We plan on being there on Sat. evening and leaving on Mon. Hope to see everyone there.

Put David down for 2 pkgs. of Hot dogs and 2 pkgs of buns.
He plans on being there on Friday evening and leaving early Monday morning.

Tim: How many weiners and buns? We need to know so we will be sure to have enough on hand.

Good morning all,
It is so good to hear from all of you on here! It is just not like being there and I hope to see you Labor Day. I will help with the wieners & buns and will bring the ketchup and relish, and will make the slaw and some deserts. Anything else we must have?

Good Morning everyone, from Indian Valley in Floyd Co.Virginia

We sure do miss seeing all you folk...and speaking of such, Ruth, put Cindy and I down for wieners and buns. We haven't finished our "College Turnover" work yet, but it is coming together and we plan on seeing everyone on Labor Day, Lord willing!

Tanner, I definitely will not run out of Greased Lightning and Magic Erasers (They go together) for the bathtub and shower, and Pine Sol and Bleach (Do Not Mix) for disinfecting!  A little dab 'il do ya!!  

I've made several of those Strawberry Cakes lately...practicing, you understand!!!  Ummm Ummm!  I can't even TELL you how good they are =P

Monica: I will definitely be in prayer for you regarding your interview on Monday!

Labor Day is quickly approaching, and there are still food items that we need (two of which are the main course - weiners and buns, also ketchup, relish and cole slaw). Please look at the list (posted on August 2) and post on the blog what you will bring if you have not already done so and I will update the list.

Steve and Teresa, the deck looks beautiful, I can see you guys sitting there enjoying the view.

This is a few pics of our new deck.

Hey there,
I'll have to do some thinking on what I like to have on hand all the time :P I do know that if Tanner has linoleum/wood floors the Wet Swiffer will come in handy. I ask that you all be praying for me. I have an interview Monday morning at 9:15 for a day shift position. It is the hours and days that I want and holidays off!! I agree about pics of the deck :)
Love to all,
Monica

Good morning everyone,
It has been quite the busy summer. Jacob has started football, Danny is still going for his daily radiation treatments, and we moved tanner on Saturday; or at least most of him.

Dannys treatments are going well but he is starting to have some difficulty swallowing and burning in the esophagus. He was supposed to see the doc yesterday so I went with him to ask about all this stuff and then he wasn't there so maybe today.

I have a favor to ask. We have tanner set up in his apt but I am sure we have missed little things when shopping. I would like you all to tell Tanner what you can't do without in your bathroom and kitchen, your favorite cleaner, any tips and so on. He is pretty excited. Addy and Janet since you both have been there in the building any secrets or shortcuts? Janet especially since you were in the same apt. It's nice to know Emily and Zac are right upstairs. They helped us on Saturday and we got it mostly fixed up. Got a lot of cleaning in the kitchen to do then he should be set.

Steve you need to post some pictures of your deck!

Can't wait to see evereyone labor day:)

Emily & Zac,  
When I saw that in the paper along with Zac's father's name, I knew he must have been a good friend.  Although he looked familiar, I didn't realize he was in your wedding.  Was the girl that was in the accident at your wedding as well?  Praying for you both and so sorry for your loss. 

Tanner,  So good to see you at the fair. 

Livvy starts Kindergarten on Thursday and although she is really excited, she is also a little nervous too.  Kaiden will miss her! 

Love you all!
