Had a telephone interview yesterday!! It went very well. Hopefully I should be hearing something within a few weeks.
The kids have 19 days left of school!!

Well I'm feeling very disturbed at the moment. I have spent the last hour being educated on what our food is made of and what is being put in the foods we eat. I believe this is why we as a nation have so many health issues. More people need to be educated on what is being put in our food. Maybe the more people know, then the more people will buy locally grown foods, and then maybe buying these foods won't be so expensive. Guess I made a good decision in starting a garden this year. And thankfully I buy from a meat shop where the meat comes from local farms. I have to say shame on Monsanto!!

Congratulations Chels and Layton!

Ellery had her first dentist appointment on Friday.  I had to work, so Bob took her.  She did great!  It took her about 10-15 minutes to warm up, but then she let them clean all of her teeth.  They gave her a toothbrush and showed her how to floss.  She's brushing her teeth twice a day now......without being asked!  She's addicted to flossing.  She came to me this morning as we were leaving for preschool and work and asked me to floss her teeth.  She lays backwards on my legs and makes me count each tooth as I'm flossing.   The dentist said she has a small mouth (sounds funny to say, since we all know she is very verbal) and will need eventually will need some teeth removed and braces. 

Still waiting to hear from Marin's speech therapist as to when we are starting her therapy.  She knows something going on and has about 1 new word a day!

Congratulations to my children!! Chels shot a 74 (her best so far) and won a medal today! Layton made 3 goals at his soccer game today and his team won the game!
Layton's dance went great last night. I'll post some pics later. The entire house smelt like Abercrombie cologne!

Well tonight is the big Jr High dance for Layton. We found some shoes, but they weren't ugly brown dress shoes, instead another pair of tennis shoes. They'll work I guess! While Chels was at shooting practice last night I walked/jogged 3.2 miles and was exhausted! I don't think Chels appreciated me stopping to watch her shoot nor did she appreciate me standing by her and her teammates dripping with sweat, she looked as though she was embarrased. Have a great Friday and weekend!

Our First 5K

It's set, well almost........we have decided to run a 5K in June together.  The day after the Hackney family reunion.  It's the Tanger Outlets Fit For Families 5K Run/Walk in Tuscola, IL.  Now we need to keep each other motivated!  We will NOT be walking this 5K.  Wish us luck!
