It's been awhile

Ok so I know it has been awhile and I have lots of pictures I want to put up but, my computer won't take anymore. I guess we have overloaded it. So I am in the process of downloading all of them to the wonderful site Shutterfly, and then order a years worth of pictures on one DVD. What a process. I was thinking about it though, and could you imagine if I was still using 35mm film? The expense of buying the film and then taking it in and having it developed. I don't think we would have nearly the pictures that we do. I love the fact that when I am taking pictures I can delete a picture if I don't like it. I don't know how many times my kids get ahold of my camera and have some fun with it. I don't have to print those pictures, but if it were on 35mm and I had no clue what was on it, oy the surprises I would get and the money that would go bye bye. Boy technology sure has changed our life, in so many ways.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Well on Wednesday August 19th we started another year of school. Max is in the 5th Grade(can you believe that?) and Emily is in the 2nd Grade(that one too?). Emily has Mrs. Borcher which we absolutely love and so she was very eager to go and see all her friends. Max has Mr. Andrade, which we have heard many horror stories about but Max went to school without any problems and showed us how much he has matured. It is hard for us to believe that we have a 5th grader and a 2nd grader. They are growing up way too fast.

I'm sure something smart was said.

It's Big Boy Bed Time

Well a big boy just passed another milestone, he's out of the crib and in a regular bed. We were sorta forced to do it, his crib was part of a huge recall and we had to return it to Target. In return Target gave us a $150 giftcard. Ah gee I don't know what I'm gonna do with that. Target is one of my favorite stores. So off to Ikea we went and picked up a bunk bed for the boys(and had Swedish meatballs too, yummo). Well if you have ever bought Ikea furniture you know it comes in a million different pieces and the object is to make a bed out of them. So Ed got to work and with lots of help, at 9 finished the bed. Time to get everyone ready for bed and into their beds. Jack was so tired that he was ready and just got in there and went right to sleep. Now his parents that's a different story. Your kind've sleeping with one eye or ear open. But Jack slept all night in his new bed. We have had a few not so good nights but all in all it hasn't been too bad of a transition. Jack loves his new bed so he is very good about going to bed. Let me knock on wood.
