It's September?

I think I start every blog with some comment about how quickly time flies. And this one is no exception.

First, welcome to the world baby Kylie. We can't wait to meet you! Kylie was born on Friday, August 26th, to my brother Chris and his wife Amanda. We couldn't be happier for all of you.

Since I last posted we have been very busy packing up our house in preparation to more at the end of this month. I'm feeling as though we have made some progress with the trouble areas. You know the ones; the very little used spaces in your house, only visited to store things. I cannot believe how much stuff we kept all these years and never used. But enough about the move.

Rowan has been feeling much better this weekend than last. She has seasonal allergies, and they turned into a nasty sinus infection. Poor girl. She finally went back to school on Friday, but I was not convinced she was up to it. It turned out that she was fine, and I just worry too much.

And she is doing so well in school right now. There are only 3 children in her classroom, and she is getting lots of extra lessons and therapy. She is making great strides at recovering the skills she lost this summer. We are very proud of her. Make sure you check out how nice and tall she's sitting with her piano in the pictures on our website. She has lengthed out a lot this summer, but she is also getting much stronger.

Bryan is doing well, but he is really affected by the seasonal allergies as well. And not much seams to really help his symtoms. We're hoping for an early frost.

His work is keeping him busy, with a new project gearing up later this year. Challenges and opportunities.

Work has begun to get back into swing at the radio station as well. Our fall membership campaign is just around the corner, along with the production of our fininacials. We had another good year last year. Balanced the budget, and kept our programming in tact. The radio station celebrated 25 years of Public Radio in the Quad Cities on August 25th. Your can hear more about it at www.wvik.org. Our local historian, Dr. Roald Tweet, did a lovely vignette on the history of the station.

That's all there is to report for now. We'll keep you posted at the month goes on with any new and exciting new from the Sibthorp Daily.
