The Month of August

Well, here we are at the beginning of September ... August is over, the kids are back in school, work is picking up ... stuff.

A lot has happened in this past month. First thing is a new house-guest. A friend of Kelle's is staying with us until she can get on her feet. She came here from North Carolina, Kelle has been conversing with her on Facebook.

About 20 years ago, I stayed with some friends of my mother's in New Hampshire. I was to be the "foot-in-the-door" so the rest of the family could move there from Chicago (and now I'm in Texas, figure that one out). I stayed with them for about four months, and keep in mind that I had only met them twice before the last time was in 1978. Fast forward to 1990 and ... BAM ... I'm living with them in their house.

It hasn't been difficult, at least not yet. We all have our quirks and irritations ... I think I have one, maybe two. We are getting by.

On another note, Katie has a "suitor" named Lance, she has no interest in him ... at all ... thank heavens. Noah wants to destroy him (he is another "suitor" that is actually ok).

Matthew is having a difficult time getting rolling for school. All of the things that we did for him last year don't appear to have been started up this year. Kelle talked to the counsellor at school to make sure things start rolling.
