Catching up

As you can see, I am catching up from the past couple of months. It has been chaotic to say the least around here since the middle of August with the girl's celebrating their birthdays (mine was in there too) and the oldest two starting back to school and Dave getting a job!! We thank you for all of your prayers in getting Dave a job, now we need to sell our house. It has been on the market for a few weeks now (hence the craziness) but since this isn't the best time to be selling our house and moving closer to Dave's job, we need lots of prayer. But before I go, I did want to share a very important milestone for Jacob - he joined Cub Scouts this year. If you know Jacob, you know he is very excited about wearing uniforms and earning things so this is right up his alley. He is also involved in a Basketball clinic on the weekends and Katie is still taking ballet and is even trying out Soccer this Fall. Did I say we were busy? It's all good, though - God is good.

Flower Girl and Ring Bearer

Katie and Jacob were blessed with the opportunity to be in a wedding today at our church. It was a beautiful ceremony and the children did very well standing still. Below are some pictures from the wedding party and the only one I could get of the 5 of us that was half way decent. It's hard to tell but Jacob has on a light grey shirt and blue velvet satin tie to match the grooms and Katie's blue velvet satin bow matches the bride's dress. I loved the hydrangea blue theme and the cake was gorgeous (tasted good, too). And Jacob caught the garter much to the dismay of the soloist's daughter who caught the bouquet - watch out Carla!

Back to School Day

I haven't had a chance to get pictures of the kids taking the bus, which they love, but on the first day I drove them to school. Jacob is starting to get to that age where he is embarrassed when I take pictures of him in front of his friends so he isn't as cooperative as Katie. Oh well, pictures on the first day of school are mandatory and my job as mom is to embarass him!

Our Summer Olympic Party

Below are some pictures from our Summer Olympic Party - we colored pictures of the Olympic flag complete with award ceremony and made our our own flames by roasting marshmallows and then we ordered in Chinese food since the games were hosted by China and then watched the opening ceremony together. Quite a memorable event and we actually watched a good part of the Olympics this year thanks to TiVo.
