Here are the pictures that I promised. I did not take any really good ones, nonetheless, here they are. My mother took Sydney to get her nails done a few days before school started so that her nails matched her outfit. Wow, that is crazy. If you click on the picture where Syd is holding her clarinet, you can see the cutest blouse that my mom made. It has little musical instruments on it.

I has been really nice having a 3 day weekend. The kiddo's were so wore out. They went swimming in the neighbors pool probably for the last time this season. Today we had a couple friends over for a cookout. It was nice, but there seems to be alot of crazy things happening around here. With illness and unfortunate accidents and such. I just hope we have seen the last of it and once everything gets settled, things will fall into the groove. Well, I for one am glad that the weekend is over. This week we start with soccer, both Syd and Gage. I have a class to attend in Elizabeth City (a good 40 min. away) and of course, its at night. It seems that the older the kids get, the busier we get. Just have to remember to keep things in perspective and not let things get out of hand. It is too easy to do that.
Oh, I don't know how I forgot about my Temple trip. I was able to go to the Raleigh Temple on Sat. with some ladies from church. I had not been to the temple in such along time. It was great, wish that I could have gone with Forrest, but I'll take what I get.
