well it has been a long time since the last post! we are doing well in iowa! we've had a lot of visitors and are expecting more this fall! its a lot of fun living in a college town during football season especially when you live a block from the stadium! jess is getting the hang of being a resident.....slowly.....and enjoying the challenge. jason's CrossFit Epic (www.crossfitepic.com) gym is up and running and we have a great group of clients! he is moving into an off site location (right now he's running this out of the garage) next week! jakobi is growing like a weed and developing quite a personality to go with her bright red hair! she is such a joy and a blessing.......she's rolling over and babbling and working on crawling and sitting up! we have realized the stresses of being far from family in the last few months but thankfully we have frequent visits from all the grandparents and aunts and uncles and friends coming up in the next few months! we love and miss you all!!!!
