8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name.

This was actually fun! However, I do not know what a flickr name is, so I made one up!
So Evan called a couple of days ago with big news! I know most of you think you can guess what I am going to say next, but you are wrong. He randomly interviewed for a swim coach position and was accepted. Did I mention he will be moving to Chicago ? He and Liz are thrilled, I do not like cold weather, or long drives, so the logistics of visiting are going to be tricky!

In other news, my brain finally kicked in and I outright BOUGHT a new card reader for only five dollars more than the cable I lost(if I knew wwhat size it was). You guessed it, still sitting in the package in front of me waiting to be hooked up. Maybe one day you, too can see pictures of our antics.

The Hemphill clan was here last week. We had a blast, AND, for the curious, a true Chastain vacation, complete with a child misplacement, bee sting and afterward, total car breakdown(3 out of 4). We will NOT be travelling this summer due to lack of funding.

Savannah is still looking for the perfect job, but has at least found a different one, for the moment. She is still trying to do her own photography after a really strange run-in with an unnamed portrait studio where the manager told her she was not going to be employed because she did not have experience with children!

This week we are running around like crazy people trying to get everyone to practice for the Missoula children's theater show"Robinson Crusoe." Anna finally got into show business after five auditions! Trinity is also excited to be in the production. More on that later, I hope.

Liberty started walking a month ago, but just yesterday broke out with her first tooth. She is in her separation anxiety stage, so I am kept busy with her. Liberty is beginning to sign.

I hope to catch up with more news later. Happy Summer!

I did not even realize it had been SO long since I had blogged. Whoops. Sorry, it is a crazy summer, but that is no excuse. Writer's block? Actually, I cannot update you because I must rush off to deliver some children to the church to go and spend the night at the zoo, then go to the grocery store, then cook dinner, then make a bug from trash items, then do more laundry! But we are doing ok! Oh, and I can't find the cord to connect the card reader to my computer, so no pix for the moment. Does anyone know where I put it?
