Hello all!

Just a quickie check in.  My computer died almost immediately after my last entry.  I check in a few times a week from Matt's computer at church, but not very often.  The good points of a dead computer are a very clean (nearly immaculate) house, a very small laundry pile, gourmet meals, and time to sew or stamp or scrap every day.  I'm starting to think that if the computer is not repaired, we will put off getting a new one even longer.

Ethan had his 18 month check up yesterday.  Perfectly healthy.  He is up one pound from his 12 month weight and is now 25 pounds.  He grew nearly 3 inches though and is now 31 3/4 inches tall!  He is a very happy child and sleeps perfectly. 

The big boys are all doing well with school.  We have conferences in the next few weeks...those are always interesting!

Not much else here.  My retreat went very well, and now I'm glad to be done.  The inlaws will be out for a week next week.  MAtt's Dad is doing a Lumberjack show for Andrew's class at school.  I need to get the basement room shaped up this weekend.  I also need to set up the office for Benjamin who is coming out to help with the show.  Without the computer being in there he will have a completely private room!  They will be here for the Pumkin party at the farm again, so the boys are looking forward to that.  It is always good for some fun pictures.

Not much elsoe here.  I've got to run to the store quickly before heading home...so I'll close!
