Wow, I've been terrible about updating the blog. A lot has happened since my last post. The kids returned to school in Texas on August 27th and in Oregon on September 8th. Laurel is very busy with the dance team. She is excited but has been practicing 2.5 hours each night, and with her homework load she's a little concerned about balancing school work and extracurricular activities. Emily and Shelby are both in choir this year. All three girls had their first pep-rally/half-time events this evening. We celebrated Emily's birthday at the beginning of the month and Shelby's is coming up this weekend. Laurel's will then be in November.
The kid's have already given us Xmas lists, but that just seems too far away to think about. Lionel is still looking hard to further his career. Crystal hasn't had any new substitute opportunities yet this year, but is expecting the flood gates to open soon.
We've been getting into the Heroes series. We had never seen it before when it was on TV. We don't have cable, but we have Netflix. We found it pretty exciting and have had a marathon on weekends to cover the first three seasons. It's proven to be too complicated for the kids to really enjoy, but we like it. Lionel is getting back into classical music. Coincidentally, some of the music he was listening to recently Holst's the Planets was played by the Texas Tech band tonight at the Georgetown ISD event.
We're gearing up for Shelby's back surgery for her scoliosis. She has a myelogram scheduled for Monday. Doctors say she will be out of school for at least a month or two post-op. The surgery is planned for November so keep her in your prayers/incantations.
We've finally had a good week of rain, bringing much needed relief from what has been the worst drought in Texas in 50 years.
