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!

The vacation was WONDERFUL! Check out my photos and prose from the trip to FL.

Yeah, I think everyone would think you were making a baby announcement for the young couple.

I'm glad they're all involved in the theater -- how fun! The younger boys have now decided on just swimming instead of a team sport. Daniel's collarbone has grown some new bone but is still at risk -- so I guess flag football is out, huh.

Again, THANKS for a fun week.
It's time for me to order those beach portraits. Savannah did a great job -- working with our children!!

Wow, much going on at your place. I saw pics on Mel's blog of the trip and it looks like a great time was had by all. Chicago sounds like an interesting place to live. I had a friend who lived there for several years and she loved it, though eventually she did return to a slower pace in a smaller town. We will remember their transition in our prayers. Tell Evan we said congrats on the new job/situation.
Savannah has no experience with children? Could have fooled me. God has something great out there for her. Though we may not know what it is yet, it will show up.
It's good to see you back on line. I missed reading about the family. We will have to get together and do some catching up on one of our trips to Fl.
