Hello from Portland

Hello To All!!! This is Kim but I'm writing for the Thelen family since they don't have a computer!! I know, I know...hard to believe in this day and age someone doesn't have a computer. We've all given them the speech but they do have a valid excuse. They don't have a lan line because it costs about $3000.00 (YES, you read that correctly) to get one where they live. I keep telling them to look into wireless but nothin yet! =)
So anyhow she asked me to write a little somethin and I'm happily obliging! Here we go: Brent is doing well....working like crazy but actively trying to find a different job. He's got his "feelers" out to a couple of places but nothing is set in stone yet. Brenda is - - pregnant again and everyone is super excited! They're thinking it would be kinda fun if they had a little girl but of course will be happy with whatever God gives them! She's feeling pretty good for the most part so long as she keeps up on her daily dose of peppermint and ginger. (helps with the naseau for those who don't know) They've been flying around trying to get their landscaping done and so far so good. They're about half way there and she said it looks very pretty.
Gavin has started first grade so he's at school all day now but sounds like he's really enjoying it and learning alot. I asked him what his favorite thing about school was and he told me "gym!!" Well.....can ya blame the kid? He's a natural athlete (and I'm not just saying that because I'm his Auntie) and he's a boy! So I'm sure "getting all the bugs" out probably is the most fun. Now me on the other hand....well me and gym didn't always get along so good but that's a whole other story for another time!!!
Caden Nicholas is getting big....and that's kindof an understatement! He's always been a big boy right out the shoot and hasn't let us down since! I keep telling Brent that instead of a football player he'll probably be a ballerina or something. Funny.....he didn't find a whole lot of humor in that!! =) (it's so fun to tease Brent because he reacts so nicely!!)
Caden's been walking for a little while now and is busy, busy, busy but oh so much fun and HEAVENS he's so adorable! Again, I'm not just saying that because I'm the auntie.
Well I think that about covers it for now - - lots of love to you all!
The Thelens
