So...I've been pretty serious on this blog lately with Radical and what not and I'm still taking that all in one day at a time...matter of fact our small group will be tackling this profound book together this Fall. I am looking forward to it immensely...because misery loves company! No...because I need others to flesh this out for me...to take it apart bit by bit and step back. I'm particularly looking forward to the perspective of one of our members who just came back from Jordan on a mission trip. He's already got a fire in his belly over the American church so I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting to see his reaction to it.
But in the mean time, I've neglected telling you about family life around here. So I'm going to do a little catching up. We are still currently working on the house...the neverending, blood, sweat and tears committment that we've gotten ourselves into is STILL in process. Bless R's heart and mine for not exploding over it...we're gonna get there. We just got all the new windows in or rather R got all the new windows in...
And here is our completed dining room with the new chandelier a la Lowe's...this isn't my forever house so I thought it was good enough....
It's cute and it works so that works for me.
The longer we work on this house, the longer I add time to staying in it because frankly I may need a five year break before we do something else...I'd really like to stay here at least another 3 years before we move so Caleb can be right by the schools.
Which leads me to my next subject...my Baby's going to 1st grade! We decided to move him to a private Christian school and with that has come all the rigamaroo which will certainly prove worth it in the end...but it has also made me realize his time home with me is over! Now the majority of his days will be filled with influence from the outside world. Libs has done her best to remind me how much I loved school and what an exciting time this is for him but I can't help but become teary eyed over it. Let's see how she handles it here in a few years!
Mr. C is thoroughly thrilled to be going to Pre-K this year...he has already picked out a back pack, labeled his school supplie and made plans for hitting the pavement to school. He's really too cute and so excited to be able to join in.

This summer has been filled with the pool, friends and just time hanging out. We haven't really done anything spectacular or taken a trip as we are saving up for skiing in Angel Fire this upcoming winter. But the boys have gotten to play non-stop with their friends and enjoy sleeping in and staying up late.
Since the weather got intolerably hot, we have resorted to playing Wii together and just hanging out inside. We have gone to see a few movies. Toy Story 3 was my first 3D experience...and it was a really good movie to boot. As the summer winds down, we will be having a 'stay-cation' in OKC at a hotel with a kid-cool pool with friends of ours and hitting White Water Bay (yes, I'm so excited...). I cannot believe summer is coming to a close.
