New Look

We had our house painted this month. It isn't very different. I like the contrast of the trim much better than before.

December 10th

We made our gingerbread house today (from a kit). We had fun making it. It looks a little "haunted" because the frosting kept sliding off.

I finally finished the last sham, so Lucy and Juliette's bedding is now done. I only finished the quilts last spring, I think.

Liz's Wedding Reception

My youngest sister Liz got married in November to Dave. It was a beautiful wedding and she was a beautiful bride.

Halloween 2006

The kids wanted to be "The Wizard of Oz" this year for Halloween. (Carol had just finished performing in the play as a munchkin and winkie.) Juliette was supposed to be the lion, but I never had time to make her a costume. We scrounged around for something for her to wear and said she was "Toto", but everyone thought she was a cat.

Rain Gutter Regatta

This week we had the Rain Gutter Regatta in our backyard. Major won 2nd place. He made his boat all by himself. It was a fun evening!

October 15, 2006

We have been busy decorating our family room. We took out the carpet and put in tile, got new baseboards, paint and a rug. I like the paint, but I do miss my white walls. I just like white walls.

First Day of School

It has been a crazy few weeks! School started, but barely. Our school’s new campus didn’t get finished in time, so we are on double sessions for about a month (hopefully not longer!) The kids go to school from 7:30-11:15. Leaving so early in the morning is killing the kids and their practice time. I will be glad to be back on the normal schedule. At first I thought we would have so much extra time, but the homework fills the time allotted it! Juliette also started preschool two days a week and loves it! She has grown up so much lately. She is so sweet!
Carol auditioned for the Wizard of Oz and got a part as a munchkin. She is so excited! I’m excited for her to be in a play. Major is doing well in school. So far he has got 100% on everything. Lucy seems to like school, but comes home exhausted. It is probably a good transition for her to not go all day for awhile.
