Summer of 2007

If you click on the title you will see pictures Diane took of the summer.

I'm finally it

Cheryl,
Thanks for your help! We are getting into the swing of fall activities here. We've been doing school for three weeks. Tomorrow Sarah, David and Nathan start classes at a local co-op too. They meet once a week for class. Sarah is taking Speech and Writing and Psychology, David is taking just Psychology and Nathan is taking Civics/Geography and Health. The boys are in a large choir and Sarah is in the orchestra. Sarah is a senior this year. I can't believe it. Her graduation is June 6 2008. She will participate in a graduation with other homeschool students from Lancaster County. All year long they have activities and get togethers to help them get to know each other. It will be a busy year for her. Sarah and David also each take a free college class at Lancaster Bible College.

John is loving college. He is also at Lancaster Bible College. He runs cross country and loves that too. His drill weekends with the Marines come so fast. This weekend it is here again. He is settling into that routine also.

I need to go eat lunch but will fill everyone in more later. Jeanne

Good Morning

I has been beautiful here this week, but the signs are around that fall is on it's way.

Mom and Dad went to the Fulton Co. Fair yesterday. Are going back Wed. for Senior Day. They are going back to the campground for the 9th-23rd.

Today is Kayla's 2nd birthday party at 1:00. Her birthday is the 4th. Darren's birthday is the 5th. I ought to try to find a calendar to add to this. I don't know when all the kids' birthdays are, except for ours, and Dakota's

Lilly lost her first tooth Friday, on the bottom. She, for the first time road the bus to school 2 times this week. She gets off at our house every day, but had never taken it to school. The first day was iffy. She stood out there with Jess and told him "I don't know why I ever agreed to this plan". Dick Leatherman is her driver. The traffic was backed up before she got on.

Kara, Darren and boys are in Indiana this week-end. Isaiah is staying the rest of the week there.

Have you girls tried logging on ?? Did you both get the emails that there had been posts? If I don't hear back from you I will email you to check.

Have a great week !!

Vegas wedding

Here are some pictures from the wedding. Dakota did a great job reading at the ceremony. Wayne spent most of the day chasing Hauk!

I did hear this from Roxanne.....

Hey there! Great to hear from you guys. I enjoyed the blog! What a great thing for a family to have. Congratulations on the coming baby!!!!Things are good here. It was very cold at the beginning of the week (I had to wear a coat) and now it is very hot. I just started dental school on Long Island and Jack is in a PhD program at Rutgers in New Jersey. It will be hard to be apart, but we'll see each other on weekends. Hopefully Jack can move up to Long Island in two years.The wedding was a great time. We went to a German beer garden with a live polka band the night before the wedding. You guys would have loved it! The wedding ceremony was out of the town in the desert. We got married on a helicopter landing pad and everybody hummed "Here comes the bride." Afterwards there was a very simple lunch reception. I'd love to post some photos on the blog. I am not sure how to post something. I don't think I received an invitation. Let me know what to do!

Keep in touch!

Roxanne

Mom and Dad and Rick and I have all met Jack when we went to Baton Rouge. They lived in Lousiana at the time and they drove over to the convention center where Rick was bowling and then to the campground to visit Mom and Dad. Great couple !!!!

One more thing .....

Waited to make sure Mom and Dad already knew,

Kayla is wearing a new t-shirt that says, 'I'm the Big Sister'

March 25 is the official due date.

Back at it.......

Had requests to get back at it on the blog. Have sent instructions to Jeanne and Diane, and a new invite to Wayne. Will also send invite to Roxanne when I get home and get her address.

Well it was dry, dry dry, and now it won't stop raining. Kara has a little water in her basement, but the rest of us are good.

Isaiah had his 4th birthday party and Kayla will have her 2nd birthday party on Sept. 2.

Mom and Dad have re-set up their camping for Sept. 9 thru the 23rd. Too hot, Tony and Martha gone, then the rains came. He did take the boat up, but I think they are going to stick to the pontoon boat. Easier for them both to get in and out and they can take the dog on it.

The fair is over, what a job. Will net about 8,000 - 9,000 for the church. We will set aside the money to finance mission trips that the people in church take. A group of men go each year to Kentucky or Lousiana, and the youth take a trip each year. And other groups here and there.
they usually either have fundraisers or pay their own way.

Lilly started back to school Wednesday. Yes, she is still staying at our house, it's been almost 3 months now. Goes to her Mom's maybe 2 evenings a week. Nothing like starting over with 6 year old. LOL.

We would still like to set up a group camping trip, so you 3 put heads together and try to come up with when for next summer. You guys set up when and we will get the sites. I don't what would better for you all, a long week-end, Friday thru Monday, or during a week, you decide.

Other news is that Jess did get an indictment against David in his assault case. Hearing was last week.
