Well, Laura, keeping up with this blog is not as easy as I thought it would be. I don't have anything to say, really. But, I promised, so you may proceed to be bored:
The crow is still hanging around, so I am tired a lot. I read "Mockingjay" WAY too fast, and now I find that my mind has drifted, and I am contemplated the world of Panem several times a day. I love books that create a new world that I totally buy into, like Harry Potter and The Hobbit. I'm ready to admit that I tend to enjoy fantasy books. Sci-fi, too, to a degree. Once we get into alien species and space travel, I tend to lose interest.
My niece Miriam (and her parents!) were here these past couple of weeks visiting. Boy, am I going to miss her. Everything about her is hilarious and adorable. She's very feisty and her voice is so girly! I taught her how to roll dice and scream, "Yahtzeeeeeeeee!!!!!" Too too cute!
Saturday our whole family went to Elgin to attend our cousin's going away party. He enters the Navy in 20 days, and it was lots of fun. The kids swam and played in the dirt - two favorite activities of kids world-wide. I got to visit with my aunts and uncles and cousins. Plus, I forgot my bathing suit, so I didn't have to get in the pool! Woo hoo!
I'm thinking about going into the laundry room and hanging the hooks I bought for the backpacks. We'll see. It isn't that it is hard, it is just that I have to locate the screws and wall anchors, and that always seems insurmountable.
Well, I better start studying my New Testament class while Gabe is engrossed in Dora. He is a picky child, and there aren't many cartoons on in the morning that he deems watchable.

Hook time...break it down for me.
We showed Miriam a photo of Andrew with his siblings and asked, where is Uncle Jon, Where is Aunt Jen etc. She got them all right, except Dave...who she hasn't recently seen. Thanks for teaching her yahtzeeeee!
We miss you all.
