August came and went....in a flash. Along with September.
We spent many refreshing days lounging by the pool, enjoyed late nights outside until it became dark and we just enjoyed each other and the fun being a family brings. School started at the end of August. The 3 youngest children began their first year in uniforms. I am very excited about the fact that I don't have to worry about 'clothing drama' every morning. Jasmine started her senior year and began depleting my bank account with classes that require hundreds of dollars for books and concurrent enrollment etc. Free, public education you say?
I spent a few days back and forth between Utah and California taking care of my parents. Definitely a challenge to be caring for the elderly long distance. We picked a house model to build and found a suitable lot. Money has been put down and the upcoming design center day is just around the corner. We will miss our friends in this neighborhood but are welcoming a new adventure. We all have cars and phones, right? Speaking of cars, we purchased a new (to us) Honda Odyssey. It has leather interior and believe it or not, one of those DVD players... something we have used 1 time in almost 2 months. It's a nice car and we are happy with it.
I began working in our Groups department again which brings different challenges to our family. I work during business hours so Malcolm tends to the kids and the carpooling. He's such a trooper. We make a good team and the kids get lots of attention from dad.
I think that about sums it up.
You're moving too? I had no idea. I would love it if you visited me. I love our ward, don't you? Where are you moving to? Anyway, sounds like you're good- and staying sooooo busy!
