Catch up time again

Once again I've been lagging behind on my blogging. There's just not as much going on with the boys in school all day. Here's a catch up on what's been going on the last week or two since my last post.

- The boys are starting soccer at long last! The were supposed to start last week but lots of rain delayed our first practice and our first game. Tomorrow we practice for the first time and then have a game on Saturday. Alex and Zachary are on the same team - they are Tigers. You betcha I'll have pictures to post from that.

- Last Saturday we had a going away party for Chris. His deployment is almost here. The boys know it's coming too and they have even cried about it already. That makes me extra sad..... For some reason I took no pictures at the party (except for one of some food) but we had a great time with friends and family.

- I got a new computer. Chris ordered a laptop for him to take on the deployment since his last one went kaput but it's not here yet. They were ordered on the same day and my desktop got here yesterday. This one's got a camera built in and we plan to video chat with Chris while he's gone.

- A good friend and his wife (this was the first time we met her) came to visit the day after our party. They stayed the night and we took them tubing. We were so happy to get to see them, especially since they had to drive five hours to get here! Thanks for coming Marty & Stephanie!


- We bought the acre lot next to ours. Well, technically we haven't closed on it yet but it's going to be ours soon. It kinda fell into our laps and we couldn't turn it down. We're not sure if we're going to keep it and just have an extra large lot without next door neighbors or if we'll eventually sell it when the market gets better. There's definitely room to make money on it with the low low price we got it for.

- We're setting up the old computer for the boys to play on. I'm deleting alot of stuff off of it to hopefully make it a tad bit faster and we've put it on a small table. (We plan to get a little desk or a better table.) We might get them some games but they love www.starfall.com. They've played that at school and at speech last year and they know what to do. They were so excited to see the computer set up for them this afternoon!


That's basically what we've been up to lately. Chris has taken leave from work until he deploys so we've been getting some house things done and just spending time together. Right now things are good.
