previously on sippel stories

one of our favorite family traditions is having cheeseburgers on the grill on sunday nights and then listening to steve tell a 'sippel story' from his childhood...there are many stories to tell...anyway, after dinner last night, nathan in an altered voice out of nowhere states 'previously on sippel stories - the family had an ord car....' it was so funny...had to be there...but steve and i were laughing so hard...fun fun times...love these days....crazy & wonderful...this morning i said 'happy day before your birthday nathan' and he said 'its happy nathan eve mom'...funny funny house...the laughs just keep on coming....the guys went to dallas this weekend for the nfl preseason dallas game and the girls had saturday night pizza here and we sat outside with the kids on saturday night...church...grocery shopping...pool...just a relaxing recharging kind of weekend...i even read a couple pages of anna karenina...heres to the last official week of summer vacation - next monday - reality as ALL three get on the bus...(enter tears here..)...back to today...shopping for nathans birthday gifts - always a fun day...peace to mondays.
