Checking In

What a busy summer we're having! David played baseball this Spring and Summer. He's had practice every Monday and games on Thursdays with an optional practice on Saturday mornings. He has 2 more games and baseball will be over for the year. I know he'll miss it, but I'll be glad to slow down a little bit.

Last Friday we had some friends from church over (The Pulliam's). The boys all played in the sand and built a volcano. They had the garden hose running up the volcano so that when they turned the water on "lava" would spray out of the volcano creating a wonderful adventure of play for them all! It was loads of fun for all the boys! Reminded me of some of the great things me and my siblings would play.

It's quiet this morning because the boys went to a VBS with our neighbors and Emalee is sleeping right now. Speaking of Emalee, I took her for a check up Monday. She weighs 17 lbs and 2 oz. She's 27 inches long. She has to get some lab work done so I took her to get her blood drawn. After 3 attempts to locate her veins and much crying and screaming on Emalee's part I decided that we were done for the day! They only got a few drops (literally) of blood so we'll have to go back at some point this summer to try again. This is not a future trip that I'm looking forward to. : (

We have our interview with the school that we've picked out for the boys on July 3. We're all very excited. Both boys are looking forward to going to a new school. They already know a few kids that go there, so I think that will make the transition a little easier for them. We also have neighbor kids that go there, so we can car-pool too! If you'd like to look up their school I think their web site is http://www.graceclassical.org/

Well, I'd better go get some laundry started!
