Happy birthday, Megan!

Our daughter turns 18 today! She is doing so well with everything, from school to leadership in church to friends to family, it's awesome to see her develop in to the fine young woman she is! Way to go, Megan!

Staying busy, having fun

Sue and I are running around doing lots of stuff with the kids. We took Stephen and Kevin to the county fair a couple of weeks ago (the picture above :-), went to football games, a campout, shopping, working, reading, and doing all the fun stuff that we do to keep our family going. Whew!

Happy birthday, Michael!

My brother celebrates another birthday today!  We had a good time with him and his family down in Florida this past weekend, which was a nice treat.  He gets to celebrate while still in Florida, which is something he rarely gets to do.  Have fun celebrating you Michael! 

Happy 50th anniversary!

My parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary today! They've done a lot together over the years, and are now both in their 70s, but doing great. Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Happy birthday, Kevin!

Our youngest is 10 years old today - woohoo! No more single-digit children, which is a new feeling for us. Kevin is doing great in school, and has even joined the Legos Robotics club there. He is doing well in karate, and is just fun to be around. I'm looking forward to all that he will accomplish in the future!

High school football season

We enjoyed going to the game tonight to see the band play at halftime. It was hot and muggy but good to see Megan leading her clarinets and having a good time with her friends. The boys had fun cheering and going down to play beside the stands, and it was good to see Sue walking up the bleachers after being gone for a week. Jacob is out practicing with the GSU band at the Georgia Dome, and I'm getting ready to work tomorrow. Life us good!

Blue car, yellow bathroom, a lots of fun!

We bought a used Kia Spectra this week in an attempt to save some money on gas.  With it wavering between $3.50 and $3.79 per gallon we have been spending lots of money just to go back and forth to our jobs, so we are hoping that this little car wi get great gas mileage and save us money.

It was funny, though - Sue said the only color car she didn't want was silver, but all the used cars we cod find in our price range were silver!  This one is rebuilt, and we got a good enough deal that we had enough left to paint it.  Sue picked an electric blue and it looks sharp!

She also decided to paint our master bathroom this week.  She picked a bright yellow, and after she was done painting she was afraid I would freak out because it is so bright.  My initial reaction was "What the ..." but otherwise I'm fine with it.

The kids are back in school already, and Jacob is done with the summer semester and is eager for the fall semester to start.  He'll be taking 17 hours, but some of that is marching band again and the rest of his classes look OK.

Hope things are good with you!
