Fun Thursday

The girls are loving Thursdays! They get to go on excursions with a lovely young lady named Lauren. Today they went shopping for clothes. Emma and Katie are learning to be bargain hunters in the nice stores! Cynthia and Annalee are just tolerating the clothes shopping right now. But they do like Lauren and everyone has a story when they come home. As for mom, she stays home and works and cannot get used to the silence in the house!

We are off to an outdoor concert at the Dallas Arboretum tonight. We love going out with Kurt and Cindy! It promises to be a fun evening under the stars. These are the times we wish could last forever...

Woops! It's been a while...

Wow! Time does fly. We are happily experiencing home school "school" this year. The girls are doing well in their classes at co-op and I love teaching Biology. I have 8 students that are happy to be in the class. Wow! That's so cool! This is our last week of volleyball and it brings bittersweet emotions. We are very happy to not have to go in so many different directions and pay $3.99 for gas. But we did enjoy beating a lot of good teams :-) Cynthia is getting geared up for Upwards basketball in December.

Please pray for us in the next month. My knee is not doing well and I have 2 business trips not far off. We really need God's upholding at this time in our lives. I am so grateful for the support of my parents this year. I could not pursue my internship without their help.

On a lighter note, Kris has a new toy. He set off our house alarm at 6:30 this morning. Our neighbors are going to hate us before long! So many options... so many zones... a techno-geek's paradise! I love him though!
