Hi everyone, well Shannon - Emily just lost two teeth in a week!!

Let me recap and then go on since this is what my mind is doing today.

June 23 - knee surjury
2 weeks to recover
July 8 - 30 -Greg and Dd here
July 30 - August 8 - Al and Brenda here
August 10 - 18 - David Beck here
August 21 - 25 - work ful time getting things ready at school
August 29 - opening ceremonies

No wonder I have been through the most emotionally drained feeling I've ever experienced in life - not depression, just drained.

Now we are into routine. School started yesterday and all the kids had hours of talking to do because it was so great. I won't even go into detail. For Niklaas it seems like having Matthew in middle school with him, it gives them actually both a sense of confidence or courage.

Markus' new boss is very people oriented and funny - hopefully this will be better.

Dad - we have not forgotten your birthday, but it hasn't worked for us to call you when you are home. We all love you tonnes and hope you had a great day.

I will be working M/T/W/F 9 - 2 and Thursday 12:30 - 4. This gives me this two hour period I'm using right now to do things like this. I've been very good at having a meal plan now for about 5 months so this helps with not wondering what supper will be every night.

I;m gonna try the picture thing now.

I wonder if you need DSl and not the old dial up for this. It didn't seem to work.

I'll try again because I have some photos I know you would love to see!!

Love to you all, the kids will be walking in the door any minute,
Teresa
