Daddy's Fixin' School Buses!

August 1st was a very exciting day for our family.  Lucas began a new job as diesel mechanic for Palmer Buss in North Mankato.  After working for the St. Peter treatment center for seven years we were very blessed that he found this new position at Palmer.  His time at the treatment center was becoming harder and harder on our family as we were growing.

So now he is in a job that is not only more fulfilling for him personally but we are able to spend regular weekends and holidays together as a family!  His work is only six minutes away from home so he gets to come home for lunch everyday.  It is also a very friendly work environment and the owner has encouraged us to come up and visit.  So we do, and we have daddy take us for school bus rides!

At first Amelia wasn't so sure about school buses.  She only wanted to sit in one when it wasn't running.  Then she wanted to ride in one in her carseat.  Luckily there are some carseats in the mini buses.  Then she wanted to ride in a bigger bus and was alright without a carseat.  Now she's says the "school buses go fast!" and "go fast daddy!"
