WE are still using Savannah's computer, so I am not sure how to load pix on it. Her software is different than ours. HELP, SAVANNAH! I tried to go to my "myspace" site, but, for a week kept clicking on "start membership" instead of log in! Can you say seriously sleep deprived? At least I figured it out without tech support.
This week, Michael went the extra mile and arranged for someone to help with the driving and/or watching the kids while I drive. What a blessing. As you may or may not know, Ivy and Joel joined the school sports scene, and since our great rental house is out of district, they have to take one class to stay with the teams they trained with. They are in "intro to Spanish", which means they have to be driven to school everyday, then picked up after sports. Of course, they all( to include Ben) finish at different times! This makes for a LOT of driving around. Did I mention our van has no air? it gave up inMay, and the cost for repair is staggering. So, we drive around in our oven, and the last couple of weeks the temperatures have soared to new records. Now you know how truly thankful I am not to have to drive around with all the kids to do drop-offs and pick ups.
WE attended Joel's first official tackle football game Thursday. They won 30-0! He is a wide receiver. While we have no real plans for Labor day, this week we look forward to Evan and Liz meeting Liberty for the first time. We also get to meet Matt, Cassie's fiance for the first time, and attend their wedding! Jeanette and Trinity will be flower girls, on the beach. Ivy has her first cross country meet of the season, and was elected a team captain.
So, I am taking a survey, is anybody reading this?(ok, Melinda, I know you are!)


the answer to last week's question is: Ben, 16, b-day 8/22/91, Trinity, 5, 8/27/02, Grant, 2, 8/19/05
