- The tummy aches turned into a major flu outbreak in the Lindley household. Steve and I both got it the night before we were supposed to move to Dubuque. Needless to say, we made it here, just a few days later than planned.
- We also had to put our dog of almost 11 years down a week after we moved. Bailey was having a really hard time with the transition and was having physical issues. We took him to the vet and found out he had a tumor around his heart. With heavy hearts, we all spent one last night and morning with him, loving on him and sitting with him, then we set him free. We miss him so much, but know it was for the best.
- Emmy and Aiden both learned how to ride bikes.
- Zoe got signed up at a wonderful Christian preschool.
- Steve survived 5.5 weeks of Greek and received an A!!! The kids and I attempted unpacking and received a C...all in good time.
- Emerson Rose turned 7 and was the first Lindley to celebrate a birthday in Iowa.
- We sold our house in Mt.Horeb and closed on it August 31! We are no longer home-owners, and that is music to our ears!
My next entry will be much more thoughtful and not just a laundry list of happenings. :) Life here is good, better than I ever expected it to be. We are very blessed to not only have our old family back in WI, but to have new and amazing friends here as well. God has amazing plans for us, and I can't wait to see where they take us!
