This week was the first full week of school! Poor Cal was sick over the weekend and of course he was better in time for school on Monday (last Monday).  After Cal was better, of course Haley got sick, followed a few hours later by Shanna.  Then Clark followed suit on Wednesday.  Anyway, Lee stayed home with the girls and Elden today from church.


Now that I've enlightened you with that dazzling information about our sick children, here are some more highlights of the week.  

On Thursday I briefly went to a little good-bye party for my friend.  It's crazy that they have already gone.  We are going to miss their family.  That afternoon I picked up Cal from school with the bike trailer, and I biked over with him to a community center and we did this:

These two lights frequently illuminate this van.  For the most part, Lee has figured out how far he can drive once the light comes on.

My brother Sam gets married next week!  I am so excited to see my family and be there for the wedding.  I am going to miss Mike & Lena and family though. I really wish they could be there.

Next Sunday Lee and I will start team teaching a 6-week basic personal finance class during Sunday School at our church.  We are both looking forward to it and have our teaching plan all mapped out.  Hope it goes well--and you are all invited to come!

I think it's funny that you say you don't do anything with your kids, when in fact you do tons! You just tend to find others that have the supplies.

Always having such fun with your cute kids! Wish I would have realized that it was national "cupcake" day and I would have baked the missionaries some cupcakes. :)
