Nothing much in bullet form

• Sarah, Adam and Jack are all doing well in school as we had parent/teacher conferences two nights ago and came away with very good reports for all three.


• Sarah continues to impress us with her art work.


• Adam lost another tooth bringing his total loss now to four.


• Jack broke his glasses the night before picture day at school so he had duct tape wrapped around his glasses for the picture. (see pic below)


• Adam was toothless for his pictures.


• Jack's new glasses should be here the end of the week or beginning of next week. One eye got better while the other worse and he definitely still needs his bifocals.


• Ben's been taking 4-5 steps on his own several times a day and he waves now too. (see pic of him standing below)


• Grace's 3rd birthday is election day this year, 11-4-08, and she is excited to be turning 3.


• Dan's been very busy with the business but we are thankful for the times we get to spend with him on jobs where a play area is near by like the "Children's Garden" behind the library. (see pics below)


• I'm still messing around with my camera and trying to figure out how to work it properly (see pic below)


• Our house is still for sale

And now for the pictures:

You'll notice the infamous duct tape wrapped around Jack's glasses. The arm broke completely in half.

Ben standing and chewing on a stick (he still puts everything in his mouth, including a soggy roll of toilet paper after a dip in a dirty toilet, but that's another story for another time) Sarah, Adam and Jack playing at the children's garden behind the library (and two random unknown boys on the left). Dan is working on a new portion of this garden so we got to visit/play. You'll notice Jack on the far right driving the wooden train. He has a special bond with trains and spent most of the day inside that train only occasionally venturing out to gather passengers, "All aboard"Grace doing her own thing here with her imaginary friends, possibly helping round up passengers for Jack's train ride.Me on the far left (with my legs in a pretzel twist) practicing my mad photog skillz! Just kidding about that, but I am trying to learn. Ben is pretty hard to capture as he moves around a lot but he stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing his reflection which allowed for a quick shot.
