Getting Started

Hi Everyone!

I have entered the age of technology and have created my very first blog. I still refuse to make a facebook or myspace account. My hope with this blog is that I will be able to communicate with family and friends; especially those that I haven't spoken with or have seen in years.

Summer is here and the girls have been out of school for a week and I'm counting the days until school starts! Olivia and Lyndsey were busy this week volunteering at Vacation Bible School at our church. They had a great time and enjoyed the children; they even made some babysitting contacts.

Olivia has also been working at a retirement home in the diningroom. She enjoys talking to the older folks; but especially likes the paycheck. Lyndsey was busy this afternoon making signs and setting up for her own yard sale tomorrow. She is determined to redecorate her bedroom and in order to accomplish that she needs some money.

Brad continues to work hard at IBM. He's off for the weekend to Virginia at our mountain house. He plans on finishing the fourth bedroom so each of the girls will have there own bedroom downstairs. I hope that he takes some well deserved rest and relaxation.

What have I been up to lately. My preschool has been out for several weeks and I enjoyed the quiet house while the girls were still in school. I have been working outside in the yard while the weather has been great; today not so good 100 degrees! I have also enjoyed scouring the thrift stores for that special treasure.

I hope you enjoy reading our family blog and let me know what you think.
