hi family

Hi everyone,

Not alot new going on here. We are having a pretty slow week so far. We got the wall paper removed from the kitchen this past weekend and I am hoping to start priming the walls this week, but I always seem to have such good intentions :)

We are looking forward to Joe, Becca and the girls and mom and dad's visit next week :)

When exactly are you all coming? Thursday or Friday? And is it true that you want to go to the arch and the zoo? The arch has a free museum as well that's interesting to walk through. Can you give me some foods that the girls will like Becca?

Also... we were wondering about sleeping arrangements. We have two extra rooms and the basement - it's finished and carpeted just not very pretty. We have two air mattresses as well, but not enough pillows for everyone. We can put you all in the duck room- you'd fit, but it would be crowded. We can put you all in the basement, or divide you up, if you would prefer the living room that's fine too, there just won't be as much privacy. The duck room is upstairs - it has ducky wall paper.

No other news for us. This Friday and Saturday we are going to a conference at university of illinois. Hope you have a great rest of the week!

Thanks for watching the dogs Jessica :) We'll miss you and the Cook family :)

love,
missy

~sometime I want to plan a trip to IKEA? Anyone interested? Is Chicago the closest or is there one in MI now?
