Justus Soccer
Justus had his 1st Scrimmage Saturday. He did good. So far he loves it, and gets upset when he doesn't make a goal. He is wearing the blue shirt. His game start in 2 weeks, so I will keep everyone posted. Wednesday will be his first day of school, he can't wait. I can't believe he's that old already. My little man. Love you guys
They Grow up to fast. That is so true. My baby girl is starting high school tomorrow. She not nervous tonight, but I'm nervous. What can I say, I'm a mom. This picture was taken last week when we went to visit JoJo, Gary, Gary and Jess. Britt and Jess ran thought the corn field together. It was a great day, but of course it made us all miss the West York area. But life continues and we are were we are for a good reason. Love you all,

Memories!
Today I was doing some cleaning and thinking of a time not so long ago that all my grandchildren were here at our house. What special cleaning job that gave me another opportunity to think of them? Cleaning the marks off the stairway wall! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind all the little scuff marks, that's easy to take care of. I just love having them all together or when ever I can spend time with any of them. I also think about them when we find a toy that was under a chair or something. It's such a shame that we all are separated by so many miles. Thank goodness for phones. We love to hear any little thing that is going on in their lives. It's wonderful that the kids really want to call and tell us what they've done.
Already we are looking forward to a vacation in Williamsburg, VA. It's a great gathering of family, I only wished we had more going with us. Maybe in the future we can arrange that.
Love to all!!!

School of fish
We had a really fun day today. I took the boys to meet Sharon and Claudia and the kids at the pool. This pool was really nice, it had a beach entrance that went up to 3 feet and a "water factory" in the middle of it that poured water down. All of the kids had a great time, of course I did not have my camera--and what great pictures I would have had :(
Eric has had the boys in the big pool all this week. Michael especially likes to jump in and go underwater. I think Michael spends much of his time under the water. David has not taken the plunge to jump in by himself, nor does he really care about going under water. Well that all changed today. All of the kids were putting their heads underwater. It was so funny how they would imitate each other. David C. (Sharon's David), put his hand on his head, yelled and fell back into the water, going under. All of the boys started doing that, it actually started getting a little hairy, so many kids going under water at the same time, on a good day its a challenge to keep up with all of them. With 6 kids, it was like a school of fish. David N. would swim under the water with his goggles on and grab my feet. I was so impressed by all of them.
Sharon reminded me of something that we both did as kids. An underwater tea party. I had forgotten all about doing that! After hearing that, Michael and David C. would stand face to face and go under water at the same time and wave to each other, it was great.
Its days like this that I'm thankful for good friends. I think its pretty cool that my kids and Sharon's (and Lauren and Sybil's) have been together since they were babies. It makes the days easier when you have someone going through similar trials.
After the pool we went to the Bass Pro Shop. I had to get a shirt for Eric, we have a mold inspection scheduled for Wednesday that he is able to go to with Chris and I. Now we all have the same CSI shirts. The boys loves Bass Pro Shop. There was a rock climbing wall with older kids (10 and up) climbing on it. The wall goes pretty high. It was cheap entertainment as we waited for the shirt to be embroidered. The boys cheered on all of the kids.
Tomorrow we are going to go to Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore. -- Stay tuned...

Boy My Life is Crazy!
But, I guess I bring it on myself. Two 4 year olds, a new dog, a new business, T having open heart surgery, our roof half done, scrapbooking, Eric painting the family room....need I go on? I am tired now, and would just like to go to bed, but I wanted to post because I know tomorrow will be just as crazy.
The reward system seems to be hit or miss. They are both up to 8 pennies each. Michael insist he is saving for Rita's, David on the other hand wavered tonight on whether he wanted to "spend" his on treats. He finally decided to save which made me happy, it will be a nicer trip to Rita's if they both get to go. If they don't both get to go I feel bad for whoever stays home with the other one :(
The boys got to talk on the phone a bit tonight. David really wanted to call Grandma and Granddad to tell them he tried a taco at Taco Bell. On the way to the pool, David mentioned he wanted to try a taco, I figured strike while the iron is hot. He tried a bite of both a hard and soft taco, but was not crazy about them--at least he did not spit it out which is a major achievement. Then he decided he wanted to try my Taquito (chicken and cheese on a flour tortilla grilled), he loved it and ate all of my dinner. I wasn't complaining, I was thrilled!
Then they got to talk to Justus. They were so excited to hear that he swam under water, they talked about it till they went to bed. I am so glad that the boys love each other so much. I'm glad you guys live close enough that they boys can really grow up knowing each other.
Eric's painting is coming along--slowly but surely. T is healing and doing well. The roofer will be here Thursday and all of the doors and windows will be in YEAH!
Chris Tucker and I met with Audrey Lee today to help us with advertising. She has so many great ideas and is putting so much work into our business, I really feel we are on the verge of something really good. Its a lot of time invested by all of us, but its our business and we want it to be successful and something we can be proud of. We already have another mold inspection lined up for this Wednesday. The client we did an inspection for 2 weeks ago wants us to do their new town house before they move in. Guess we made the customer happy, can't do more than that!
Well, I'm going to go watch an episode of Big Brother (I love reality TV). The only problem is, is that I'm at least 4 episodes behind, thank goodness for TIVO.
Love you guys
