Indiana

I wrote this post a month and it has been sitting in my drafts.

We have been here in Indiana for almost two months already. Since we have been here:
1) Isaac turned 9 and I had a birthday the next day.
2)Isaac has read about 15 books this summer. He got his head shaved because the chlorine from the pool really did a number on his hair. He said his hair made him look like Beethoven.
3)Lucas lost a tooth and anticipates losing another any day now. He started first grade and is less afraid of the water and pretty adventurous in the pool.
4)Ariel has perfected her scooter-riding and rides her big wheel to and from the pool insanely fast.
5)Elsie has mastered walking and grown two more teeth.
6)We have visited Costco at least 25 times since moving here and all the nearby malls. It has been so long since we have lived near real stores that even the kids found it fun to go browsing for bargains before we unpacked our boxes.
7)Mike works a lot.
8)We have met most of our neighbors and they are all great.
9)I drove the kids through 4 states to attend the funeral for Mike's great aunt, Virgie.
10)We then drove for two more hours to visit Annee in Chapel Hill. It was a long drive but a great trip.


11)School started two weeks ago so life is calming down, a little.
