Fall schedule/convention

Well convention is over for us and we are back to our school/fall schedule. I'm actually enjoying being really alone for the first time in nearly 8 years. I'm starting to get more involved in the kids' classrooms. And I get to babysit 'the hurricane', Ella who keeps me running once/week. Our evenings have turned out to be busier than I wanted, but that is how it goes with three school kids with outside interests. Mondays are piano, Tuesdays are free, Wednesdays are gymnastics for the girls and meeting, Thursdays are soccer practice, and Saturday mornings are soccer games. Whew!

Convention was awesome in every way. The kids had a wonderful time with all their friends and we enjoyed having the motorhome up there again. Now back to reality!

Back to school

Yes, the time has come. The kids all went back to school last week. Will put up a picture of the three musketeers on the first morning. Yes, I had a few tears. But they dried up and I got on with the day. We really enjoyed our last days of summer. A couple of days up helping at preps. And a time with friends at the Wisconsin Dells. Will post a couple pictures from there if I can figure this out! Now we look forward to convention this week! Happy fall to all!

July

We enjoyed a visit from my brother and family, Keith and Jane Rowland from CA. Then we had birthdays. Trevor's is the end of June and Mira and Rayna's are on July 9 and 10. They are now 8, 7, and 5. We had a bunch of their little friends (and parents!) over for supper one night. The end of July we went up to Door County for three days. We had a great time there but came home to a shot-up van that was left in the driveway. That's been a pain. Now only a month left before school starts. I'm not one of those moms that can't wait to send them to school. I will miss them a lot especially with the 'baby' going this year to kindergarten! Enjoy the rest of summer! Will try to post a couple of pictures too.

Colorado - June 25, 2007! We had an awesome trip out west. This was taken at the top of Mt. Evans on Monday after Elizabeth I convention. It was great to be with uncle Alan Anderson!
