Sooooooo Behind....

I'm so behind on everything, including the whole blogging thing. I will update with new pictures and posts in the very near future. It's on my "to-do" list!

Just to give you a quick summary: We have survived the summer and a new school year has begun. Bowen has met his second grade teacher and we love her. Let's hope she is up to the "Bowen" task. Hannah survived her first day of junior high, it wasn't easy, she was unsuccessful at every attempt of opening her locker, but she came home smiling, nonetheless! Catilin has begun her junior year of high school and the jury is still out on how this year will be. We moved Courtney to Snow College and mom and dad and Caitlin are still able to talk about this with only a few tears. Courtney, however, seems to be adjusted and enjoying the independence of higher education, let's see, dinners with football players, rock band with returned missionaries and dances, dances, dances. Let's hope her homework is getting done.

A friend of mine lost her husband in a plane crash. She is now left with three small children to raise, ages 4, 2 and 3 months. She is so amazing, however, the loss is difficult. I am so impressed with her strength and her faith, she teaches me daily. I know she can do this! She will be happy again. I believe that you never stop loving the people you lose, but that you are able to keep living with their memories, remembering will bring you happiness!

Soccer season has begun. Eric and Caitlin are coaching Bowen's soccer team. This makes for very fun games. Bowen is quite a natural and very agressive. He is quick and seems to enjoy being in the middle of all the action.

Hannah broke her middle finger and right hand a few days ago. This is going to make 7th grade all the more difficult. She is even more frustrated and stressed, I did not know this was possible! She will not be tumbling or stunting during the entire football season and we are keeping our fingers crossed that a full recovery will be made prior to cheer competition season, only a few short months away.

Hope all is well and everyone is happy to be back in school!
