This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Summer Comes to a Close







It is officially August 8th. This means that it is time for school to start again and routines to begin again. I have Inservice tomorrow. So...what did we do this summer?



In June, we went to Florida for vacation. We visited St Augustine, Florida (picture) and met up with Dan's extended family. It was fun to see them all. Most importantly we got to spend time with Dan's brother, Michael, who is now in Afghanistan. We got to go to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios with the family. It was hot, but fun to watch our nephews enjoy Disney(picture).
We also got to be
at Universal Studios (with Jody and Gary) the day before Harry Potter opened. To wrap up our trip, Dan and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary where we spent our honeymoon(picture). Aside from me not being able to ride many rides, we enjoyed the trip!

At the end of June and throughout July, I spent time finishing--yes, FINISHING!--my master's degree. I completed 8 exams and a project. Now I'm waiting to see whether I'll graduate this summer or fall (probably fall). Dan spent m
any weekends playing gigs throughout Wichita and surrounding communities. He also finished up a redesign for the KWCH websites at work. You can check out his work: kwch.com and catchitkansas.com and kansascw.com.
Brisco (picture) has enjoyed having us home and knows something is up. He has been demanding more attention. He spends most of his days sleeping, chewing on his bone, playing with his toys, and ignoring the rabbits in our backyard.

We have the nursery painted and look forward to getting it further set up later this week with the help of Mom and Grandma. The baby spends its days kicking, rolling, and napping (in Sarah's tummy of course)! We got to see it in June (picture). According to the information we've read, it is now weighing in at over 1 lb and 12 inches long. What was your favorite thing this summer??
