First day of school

We had a wonderful "1st day of school!" I am so proud and happy to report that both kids were ready for school today. Meagan was up with hair and teeth brushed. Evan was ready about 45 minutes early (with shoes on). It was a pleasant surprise and a huge relief.

I asked Evan if he liked his new backpack? He replied, "yes". So then I pointed out that he has a new Speed Racer lunchbox and responded with "currently in theatres". Thank you Evan.

Drinking the Kool-Aid

Got back from my first Scrapbooking Retreat on Sunday night. Mind you, I left on Friday and had never scrapbooked a single page in my life! And now I am hooked! We had a blast, the creative juices were flowing as was the laughter. Hopefully tomorrow I will upload the picture of my prized "Zip Line" page. Save your Michael's coupons for me!!!!

San Antonio

We just LOVED San Antonio! The Riverwalk was more beautiful that I imagined. Evan loved the roller coasters at Six Flags and kept declaring "San Antonio is fun!" It was a fantastic trip and we will be back!

Camp Good News

Meagan left this morning for Camp Good News. It's our church sponsored sleep away camp. She wanted to sleep in her camp clothes on Sunday night so that she'd be all ready to go on Monday morning! I barely got a hug goodbye!!! We'll pick her up on Friday morning, and head straight to San Antonio!

Evan's 7th birthday

I can hardly believe that my baby is 7 years old. He had his BFF Cassidy over Friday night. We all went to the YMCA Splash Pool, then came back to the house for cake and a sleepover. We leave this weekend for San Antonio to ride all the roller coasters (this is Evan's big birthday present from us).

A long day....

I am happy to report that we are having a much smoother time with Evan lately. As of Wednesday, he is doing much better. (We had been off to a pretty rocky start to summer.)

We had a great weekend of swimming, Target, more swimming, church, and respite at Graceview Baptist's Joy Ministry. Thank you Joy Ministry!!! I finally got to see Hancock!

Anyhow, after all that excitement, it's no wonder that Buddy can't make it through Dora's Backpack Adventure PC game. He didn't even wake up when I took the picture.

PS-check out his right hand...so cute!!
