Almost Fall

Fall is getting here slowly but surely! Someone has been sick or getting stitches every week since school started. We did have a fun Labor Day though so here's a little video of our time at the lake.

Well, summer is over and we are back in school. Surviving Dillon's 1st year of middle school and loving Hope's 4th grade year so far! the summer seemed pretty short because I was sick for most of it but I did get better in time for us to enjoy a vacation.

Spring Break 2010

Here comes the sun

**Excuse all spelling and grammatical errors, my brain is tired.***Well, here is your quarterly(sorry) update. In case you didn't notice it finally stopped raining so the grass is turning green, Brian and Hope are turning tan and Dillon and I are turning "frecklely". The kids have been busy with CRCT testing at school and Dillon took the last three days of the test with strep throat. I was going to say he had finally been feeling better after getting ride of an almost permanant sinus infection and vitamin D defieciency, but I would have spoken too soon! Anyway, we have the usual going on but did enjoy a beautiful Easter (except for the stomach bug I got that night). Looking forward to only 5 more weeks of school before summer and maybe even less before the arrival of my new nephew. Also we are very thankful that Brian's nephew made it back safely from his dployment in Afgahnistan. Maybe I will have time to write more this summer..

A winter catch-up

Ok, so here's what you have missed since Christmas....Basketball season for Hope and Brian, school, work, Dillon going to the Dr @8 times b/c he can't stay well, enough rain to consider building an ark and everything in the pictures!!

Christmas (x3)

Here are the pictures from the great Christmas Celebrations we had at my brother's house, my grandma's house and Brian's parents house.

It's almost Christmas!!

Well, Christmas is coming up even faster this year it seems! We had our Church Christmas Production last Sunday and Hope sang with the children's choir and also sang a solo. She did wonderful! Dillon is busy finishing up school projects before the winter break and I have lost my voice! Basketball season has started so Brian and Hope are busy with their teams. I think I have all my Christmas shopping done and have remembered that, contrary to my friend's daughter's statement, Christmas is about Jesus birthday not Santa's Birthday (don't worry, she's a preacher's kid!) We managed to squeeze in a little time to go to the park on afternoon last week so here are those pics!
