Sorry it has been sooo long since I last updated. So much has been going on. We have added to our family... well at least for the next 10 months. :-) We have a foreign exchange student from Germany. Her name is Sonja she is 15 (will be 16 in December) we LOVE her. She is great with the boys and really has just "fit" right in with our family. She is playing soccer with the JV team at our high school and has made many friends.
Schuyler, Connor, and Logan all went back to school on August 18th. It is strange to have the house empty for 30 minutes before I have to leave for work. Chris is enjoying the peace and quite on his days off with everyone in school. However, he has no excuses now to get the honey do list done. :-)
One of the things we have to do as an exchange family is include Sonja in our family outings. Well... our first official family outing was a camping trip. (IN A TENT) We had a great time, however, waking up to 43 degree temps one morning and having 70 mile an hour winds the next was CRAZY. Chris and I both forgot how nice it is to just set around a fire and not do a thing!!!! I am sure we will do more camping next summer, but I am voting for a camper!
Soccer for the boys is in full swing and we are crazy with practices and games that will be starting this coming Saturday 9/11/10. The crazy thing is we have 4 games every Saturday between now and the end of October. Going to be busy around here. I hate to say it, but I am looking forward to winter months because it is much calmer around the house. But I truly HATE the cold and snow.
I will attach a few pictures and try to get more up from our trip and soccer soon.
