I know it has been forever since I posted...........

Since my last posting, Eliza Lynn had her 1st birthday July 2 and has turned into quite the rascal. She is developing her own personality and loves to wrestle and play guns with the boys. I did get her a baby doll and stroller for her birthday, but she went back to playing guns and Legos. At least she is happy. All the kids are finally back in school. Shelby and Dylan started at their new charter school and LOVE it. It is going to be an amazing year for them there. I will also get to do a lot of parent volunteer time in their classrooms. Martha has embarked upon her Freshman year and is hating early morning Seminary. Michael is the mighty Senior and in his words is "very stressed!" George is in the final year of Middle School and can't wait to be done. Tommy will start pre-school in a couple of weeks and can't wait to be at school like every one else. Mike is currently out to sea on a ship and we miss him terribly. His ship runs from Long Beach - Hawaii - Guam - Nigbo - Shanghai - Long Beach. We see him every 35 days when his ship is in port at the Port of Los Angeles. He will get to come home for a vacation break on December 15, not soon enough! I have been busy with the kids and church. I didn't think I was very crafty, but in preparing for my Super Saturday I have been quite the crafter! And I have acutually had fun, go figure. All in all everyone is doing excellent and we are a very blessed family!!
