news and conversations

So I was waiting on a science book to arrive, and it finally came on the afternoon I scheduled my first lessons- what timing. We made play-dough Earths this week. I'm feeling really tired these days and want to do more for myself, like.... exercise, or do a Bible study... a hike through the woods would do.

So I put Jo's MP3 player on and danced. Pretty goofy looking, I promise, but I feel better. I also can't touch my toes to the back of my head like I used to years ago. I'm going to make that a personal goal. LOL

Jo auditioned at the local arts center and was cast in "A Christmas Carol." She gets to memorize over 20 songs, in an alto part - a new stretch for her. She plays "Amelia," who is one of the girls in a family that would benefit from Scrooge's death.

Daniel is well into flag football. He's got quite a nice spiral on his throw. And scouting continues. We're up and running for sure. We've just completed week 6 of school- and I didn't drop any "plates" until this week. Now that I'm schooling 4 at home- including a middle schooler, I really have to organize my time. Don't look too closely at the furniture- I think it says "DUST ME."

Back to the schoolroom I go!

Go Mets! ... oops... I mean Braves!

We had such a blast at the Braves Game Friday night! - Thanks Jen Moore! Nick spent the evening reminiscing about the days his dad took him to Shea Stadium to see the Mets. So what could he do but quietly root for them?

We enjoyed dinner with the Hollis family, Happy Birthday Teresa! I couldn't resist dropping this picture in of Amanda and Emily. Aren't they cute?


Well...Mets won 7-1 (Nick's secret wish granted), our tickets included dinner, and to top it off, it was free hat night. What a deal!




A pre-game photo op!









Yes, we had a bird's eye view! After the game, there were fireworks. Lots of them. Better than the 4th of July!
