It’s been a busy summer!
The kids have been taking riding lessons, and loving it! Mr. Campbell is a great role model for both of them.  They’re learning SO much, and gaining confidence. It’s going to be harder to work into the schedule during the school year, but I think we need to find a way […]

*Sorry if this post seems clipped, but I’m trying to do about twenty things before I go to bed, and Christina seems pretty restless tonight. . . .
Took Christina shopping with me, to get a couple of last-minute presents and cake and ice cream. Got a couple of white boards while we were out, […]

Scanned a LOT of things for Kelly today. Her website is coming along really nicely, and she’s getting really excited about it! : )
Christina fell asleep at 2:30, so I didn’t get the kids until almost four. They were on the playground, and they wanted to know if Miss Effie had seen […]

A man knocked on our door and asked if we were interested in having our limbs trimmed. He offered a price that we couldn’t refuse, so we took him up on it. He did a nice job, so we decided to have him do the rest of the trees as well; he […]

Grandma and some friends were playing outside; it was a hot, dusty day, and she was somewhere around eight-yrs old, I think….
The kids decided they were going to play jump rope, and everyone was yelling, “I’m first! I’m first! No — I get to go first!!” Grandma just sat back and watched all of this […]

We finally — after almost two years in this house — can say that we’ve used our basketball net. Clint bought a ball a few days ago and, since it was nice out this afternoon, moved my car out of the driveway so we could shoot some hoops. It took a little while […]

We got the job!!!
We’re super-excited and can’t wait to get started!
We go in Friday afternoon, to pick up the materials, and then we have ten days or so to go through everything and come up with some sort of game plan. We’ll be checking in with them periodically to make sure we’re on the […]

My brother decided to surprise us with a big present to make up for Christmas and birthday presents that he’s missed in the past: boy were we surprised!
He called me first, to be sure that I had no objections to the kids having a Wii, then Fed Ex’d it to us. I didn’t […]

We started off the day with a phone call from Deb, (wishing Clint a happy birthday) followed in quick succession by phone calls from a lady we intended to buy a desk from (for Alexander), and from Curt; he, Ginny, David, Del, and Colleen sang Happy Birthday to Clint and then they were off to […]

is finally up!
(I’m sure it could stand to be edited some more, but it’s up!)
