Mommy's first hair cut

This morning I gave Henry a hair cut. It was his second hair cut, but it was my first! It went alright. It's definitely not perfect, but I think it will do...hopefully. He was a moving target! And there were a few places that he was fussy about me doing - like around his ears. He didn't appreciate that too much. I'm hoping that I will be satisfied with it until I have the chance to try again (for his next haircut). It's kind of a scary thing and I'm actually surprised that I did it!
Kudos to Brooke for doing this on a regular basis!

Joe and Maggie at school

Just to let you all know, we heard from Joe and Maggie yesterday (Tuesday) and both were very excited about the new school year. Maggie reported that her favorite thing was recess and that also she got to work with some blocks of different colors and shapes. She really likes her teacher. Joe was very excited about getting back to school...called Grandma almost immediately to report on the first day. He reported that one person did not come to school, so now they only have 19 in the class. He is in a first and second grade combination and so will probably be able to help his teacher alot.

Today (Wednesday) I have been asked to drive the missionaries up to Paso Robles as one of them has a doctor's appointment up there...so that will be a good thing I can do to help the missionary work.

We will be going to LA on Friday and Saturday. The plans now call for Joe III and family to stay with Jaron and Roz who live very close to the temple...they are good friends from the past, and Mom and I will stay in the Temple Apartments. On Saturday, Joe and Brooke will go to the temple and we will help with the children and then we will all go to the Visitors center to see the new film about Joseph Smith.

I will keep all posted as we move along.

Love Dad

Joe and Maggie

I hope that Joe and Brooke sign up soon because we want to hear all about Joe and Maggie's first day of school. We hope it went well!

garde work in SLO

Here are two pictures of the work that Amy helped us with when she was here in July. The tomatoes were doing OK until we went to Provo for a week in August, and no watering, but at least the tomatoes still seem to be holding in there.

Thanks to Amy for a lot of fun.

Adam's Graduation

Even though it was few weeks ago, I thought I'd give you all an update on Adam's graduation. Everything went wonderfully and it was so nice of Mom, Dad, and Joe IV to come. We enjoyed having them here and it was very supportive of them put so much effort into coming. THere were two days of graduation and each ceremony was relatively short and so it working out alright.
We ate dinner at Los Hermanos the first night with all of Adam's family. Then the next night we had a little open house at our home for friends and neighbors.
Adam is so happy to be done. We'd like to thank all of you for all of your help and support!

Henry J

Here are a few new pics of Henry. I have some that are even newer than these, but I'm not finding them on the camera right now.

Welcome to our new blog!

Hello Brundage Family. This is the start of our new blog. We can keep in touch and post photos and possibly even post videos to show each other (if we can figure out how to do it). I'm so excited. I hope you all get into this and enjoy it.
