vacation has been nice...

...but it's time to get back to the business of life. Well, for James anyway. The kids are out of school for the next week. I'm sure they will enjoy their break. As for myself...hopefully my forced vacation will end tomorrow with me picking up my good pal computer from the shop. They are waiting for a new graphics card.

James football officiating job has been such a blessing. It allowed us to replace the washer yesterday. It feels like heaven to be able to do laundry here at home again instead of having to spend $40 every week at the laundrymat.

I got some sewing done during my free time this week. I love sewing and making things. Love it. I generally find it relaxing and it gives me joy. Sadly, though, it is become a casualty of employment. I've had very little time for sewing since I started working. I hope/plan to do it more often. Anyway, Jen decided to try it and made the cutest baby rag quilt for her niece. I'll try to get a pic posted some time soon.


It is exciting times around here.....

We are making out an order for graduation announcements and a cap and gown!!! It's getting closer and closer and closer... I need to start working on addresses for the announcements. It will (thankfully) be a fairly short list. (Ha! I need to work on Christmas card addresses, too!)

And, second, TKD belt promotions were this past Tuesday. Jared and Jeff are now RED BELTS! Just two testing cycles, 4 months, away from their level one 1st degree black belt. I'm so proud of all their hard work.

Life is calling...
