Random Updates


Our house has been boring lately, which is why there has been such a blogging dry spell. However, my sister informs me that frequent updates (no matter how boring) are much appreciated. So here goes:


Stella had a caterpillar from Creed’s teacher that turned into a cocoon and a few days later a butterfly emerged. It was very exciting.


Creed is still a nut and loves to draw. He has recently launched a campaign to sell his art for cash. One day, he taped several of his creations to the lamppost out front with a sign reading “Please buy these, we don’t have a lot of things.” I suspect that he had asked for a toy or a treat at the store and I must have said no. Jack offered to buy some of it, but Creed wouldn’t budge on the $20.50 price tag.


Jack is doing better. He definitely seems much happier. He won a contest at school. There was a jar of marshmallows and the students were to guess how many marshmallows were in the jar. He came in third place and won a free book at the book fair.


The wall in our shower rotted away along with a portion of the floor in the bathroom, so Robert has had a hands on lesson in bathroom remodeling. We have joined the throngs of homeowners who have credit accounts with the Home Depot.


Aunt Sara is here!


We are thinking of the Smith’s and Karaoke today at Mont’s house.
