First Day of School

School has begun!! I can't believe I have a 2nd and a 4th grader!! E was so excited she didn't go to sleep until after 10:00 last night. K didn't want to go back -- she wasn't ready for summer to end. They both had a great day and L and S were very excited to see them when they got home. They were, however, bummed to find out that Grandma, L and I had a girls' shopping day while they were at school!

The VERY Lost Tooth

Just before dinner tonight, E lost a tooth (and was very excited about it). A little while later we were in the kitchen making chalupas, and Grandma asked E where she put her tooth. E said 'right there' and pointed to the spot on the counter where D had just dumped a huge bag of shredded colby-jack cheese to thaw. Do you know what shredded jack looks like? It is exactly the same color of a tooth!! D, L, E, Grandma, and I were all desperatley searching through the cheese to find the tooth before someone ate it for dinner!! Luckily, I found it on the very edge of the cheese pile. There was relief all around!

Rainy Day

This is what you call dedication to the sport. K couldn't wait to go riding this morning even though it was 6o degrees and raining!! Dolly didn't seem to mind the rain, either. I see horse ownership in our future. She is still determined to be a horse vet and wants to go to A&M (who wouldn't?) because they have an equestrian team. I'm not sure what she's going to do when school and volleyball start because she won't be able to ride every day! I guess that will give me time to figure out how to keep from having an allergy attack when I walk in the barn.

Beautiful Day!

We decided to take advantage of the wonderful 78 degree weather and go outside for some pictures. They turned out pretty well considering we had the camera sitting on a rock!

OK -- Enough of you have convinced me that this is the easiest way to keep up with each other. So, here it is -- our famliy blog!
