My, my, August has flown by! Kayla and Sierra went to Oklahoma for what was supposed to be 3 weeks and ended up to be 3 and a half. Kayla decided to extend their trip by having the chicken pox. Thankfully, it wasn't a bad case. They had a great time...flying there and back by themselves. Meanwhile, we parents got to goof off, except when I (Jen) got sick for a week. It has been great to finally have them home. We have truly been blessed with great kids!
This week has been spent (and spent $$) getting school supplies and such. The girls are excited about going to public school this year. They got to meet their teachers yesterday. Kayla, now in the 5th grade, has Mrs. Sheehan. Sierra, now in the 1st grade, has Mrs Stewart. They are most looking forward to the large playground equipment and hot lunches. Priorities, you know.
It oughta be a rough week since we have yet to get on our "school schedule". They gotta be there at 8 am....ooooooohhhh cranky kids, my favorite!
All in all, this summer has been a very stressfull one. We are looking foward to the changes God has in store. I think we may all be suprised at what He has in store.

Yikes! I'm in 7th grade!
Hi! Kayla here. I'm out of school and (gulp!) now in 7th grade. I'm going to go to a school named McCormick Junior High School.I'm.....uh..... sort of nervous.
Now -- onto more exciting things. Not today, but next Saturday -- June 23rd -- Sierra and I are going to something called S.P.A.C.E. Jr. Deployer. We get to experience what Dad does when he deploys. It isn't exactly what he does when he deploys because he is a Chaplain and this is for soldiers.
On Friday, June 8th, Sierra and I went to a banquet with Dad. Now, this wasn't just any banquet, no, this was a special banquet for just dads and their daughters. Almost every young lady had a fancy dress on. Every one was beautiful. We danced, we ate we had dessert, we listened to a guest speaker. It was a magical night. We also had a friend of ours named Andrew Ralon play the violin. It was a blast.
For anyone who didn't know, my Aunt's horse, Expresso, was supposed to have a baby, but she started being a little stubborn and waited about another week before having it. We (Sis and I) can't wait to see it! Aunt Mel named it Double Shot.
Well, that's about it. Come back next Saturday for more!
