    Well, the boys are back in school!  Woot!! So far both boys are doing great and having no troubles.

    Camden needs to be at the bus stop to catch the bus to high school at 6:21 AM.  Luckily he’s an early riser and always wakes up around 5 AM.  It’ll make high school all that much easier for him.  On the other hand, he’s in band.  They will be practicing every  T, W and Th until 6 PM and when there are night games he’ll be out past 11 PM.  So that will wear him out.  I’m sure he’ll get used to it eventually.

    Jake started middle school and is excited about several of his classes.  Among the tops, for him, is science.  Why?  Because they are sitting on yoga / exercise balls this year, instead of regular chairs.  Maybe he’ll strengthen his core muscles this year.  :)   Other exciting stuff involves him starting band this year.  He’s playing a trumpet / cornet.  They finally get to start playing their instruments this week and he’s looking forward to it. But not to carrying his instrument to school and back every day.  :)

    I’m getting used to working at PetSmart.  It’s not as horrible as I had imagined it would be.  Ok, so it’s not horrible at all.  Everyone is really nice, even the customers, and the kids like to hear about all the dogs I meet each day.   The best part about working is the paycheck, which allowed us to book a vacation to go see Dave, Jen and Max this fall!  Can’t wait!!!  The bad part is that I think I’m allergic to everything in that store…  Keeping my fingers crossed that my Claritin continues to work well!

    Wes is great and is still working. Looks like things may be starting to pick back up in the housing market.  Woot!

    That’s about all for now.

    Later,
