I guess it's Katie and I reviving the Okoboji Creaseys blog.  I know there are a few graduations coming up and I'd love to see some entries about those.  Also Lori went to Haiti and Kay is retiring.  There is lots to report.  
In case you forgot I'll be giving birth in little over a month. Wahoo!  That was a sarcastic wahoo!  After watching birth videos on youtube I'm a little freaked.  Baby Boy is growing quickly and is measuring a little over 5lbs.  I'm nearly 35 weeks; hopefully I have a maxium of five more weeks.  Everything has been going smoothly, but lately my ribs and back have been in pain.  His rear-end is pushing against my right side ribs and it isn't feelin' good.  I've got two more weeks of teaching and then I'm FREE!  Maternity leave in Turkey is pretty awesome.  They don't let you work past 37 weeks and you get a total of 16 weeks.  
 

I saw this photo on pinterest today and saved it to my desktop for Oz.  I'm sure Steve feels the same way when someone offers him diet pepsi.  
A quick update on the baby.  He weighs 2 pounds now and is moving around a lot more.  After forcing Oz to go furniture shopping twice we've finally ordered things for the baby's room.  The furniture arrives in a month and this is when Enzo and Lola will learn their room has become a nursery.  This will cause a bit of confusion and stress; Enzo will pee inside at least once in protest.  I'm sure they will quickly learn to enjoy other areas of the house.  
 

Thank you to Bill and Steve for making the effort to come to Kingsley to get this much needed business conducted. The team traveled to the Le Mars Plymough County Courthouse to change the ownership of the Boat and Canoe to the Creasey Management Company, LLC, visited with our insurance agent, Jim Harvey, toured the farms, discussed business, ate Pork Vouvray, and went to the Plymouth County FSA office to take care of signing up the farms for the farm program, and meeting with the tax guy on Tuesday morning.
 
We boarded up the back of the office building in Kingsley as it was discovered that the floor near the back door was rotting and there was a pervasive mold spell which was so bad tthat Bill was forced to stay out. No decision was made on the building's future.
 
All in all the meeting was successful and the secretary extends his thanks to all participants for their fine work and special thanks and kudos and deep bows to our Manager, Steve.

 It's been ages since I've done any blogging--currently I'm in Des Moines doing a teaching practicum (a three-week deal in a high school classroom where I get to teach some lessons, but mostly I observe my cooperating teacher.  So nothing too crazy.
 
I wanted to share about my time in Arizona where I got to see BOTH of my brothers at the same time, as well Malee!  So here are some pictures!

 Ross Christiansen, our Okoboji friend and neighbor, passed away on Sunday.  A nice statement of his philanthropic accomplishments can be found in the WCFCourier.
 
Our symphonies to Pat and the rest of the Christensen family.
