What's New with the Bree Clan?

This picture is from our recent trip to Indianapolis.

Well, well, well......let's see.....what's new? It's been awhile since I last posted and I'm happy to say that not to much has been going on. We've had enough "excitement" in our lives during the past few months. Our house is officially on the market now, so if anyone out there is interested in a "great starter house that shows very well" (words from our Realtor) please take a look at ours. We've been busy at school wrapping up summer camp and getting everything ready for the school year to start, which will be Sept. 2nd. I'm excited to go buy some new "school clothes" on Monday. Being a teacher lets you get excited about school clothes and supplies long after your out of school as a student!!!! Dan is about to take his final test for his AIC designation. This will be his 4th exam and then he will get some fancy letters behind his name when he signs it at work. He will also receive a nice bonus, which will be........well, nice :). Olivia has turned our daily lives into a game of 20 questions. She wants to know about anything and everything. We try our hardest to be enthusiastic about it, but sometimes it's a tad hard. One of her new favorite things to say goes something like this:

Olivia- "Mommy, I have an idea"

Me- "What's your idea Olivia?"

Olivia-"Ummmmm.....shopping" (she also likes to respond with "i have ice water, i read book, call Kimmie, and the list goes on and on and on!

Our little angel is just full of great ideas lately. She is now about 98% potty trained. I think it will take her a little longer yet to stay dry all the way through the night. She accomplishes this some nights, but not consistently. It's hard to believe, but we are already thinking of preschool. Wow, everyone says this, but WHERE does the time go???? We just continue to enjoy each and every moment we spend together as a family.
