Dy: you asked why I was blogging while Race was home, and we were ALONE. One word: FOOTBALL. Now, lest you think ill of me, let it be known that I had already partaken of several hours of watching and made some awesome snacks before needing a break.

This morning, I got to attend church with Race. I can not express how awesome this was. I introduced him to everyone that I know, and we just had such a great time getting to know everyone. 2 of Austin's buddies came by looking for A.(still at mom and dads), and I introduced Race to them. They were in awe. I am not sure what they have heard, but obviously....something. I thought that they were going to talk Race's ear off(after the uncomfortable staring was over!). Truly great kids. It was fun. Race can not wait to be able to attend the scout meeting this week. They would like for him to conduct an orienteering (map and compass) course some time this year. And don't even get me started on the marksmanship thing......we are Soooo on that! too fun!

We grabbed a bite to eat, and then it was on to meet mom and dad to pick up the kids. I am told that at the birthday party, my kids showed off all their boogie-down skills on the skate floor. Some of which I did not even know that they had! Hmmmm...can't wait to get a full report from Em. The kids had an awesome weekend!

So, here we are all back together again. I had to make a grocery run for the week( been awhile since I have done that!). We had chef salads, baked potato's, and bruchetta for dinner. I still have to plan our school week, and we are making a few final notes and arrangements for London, but we are being pretty laid back about it. We SOoooo need a family trip! I'd better run.

G'night,
Melissa
