Weekly Update and Friday Ramblings...................

• Faith is feeling much better and is back in school today!
• Reed gets the bum deal being on his fall break right now. With Dean still in school we can't really go anywhere, with Faith being sick this week we were pretty much stuck at home, and to top it off his buddies are on vacation. He seems pretty content staying in his pj's and playing video games, but I have to do some fun things with him next week!
• Well, it is official...."I am a forty something!" Tuesday was my birthday and I turned 41! I found it more depressing than turning 40.
• With turning 41 I am determined to start a fitness program!
• We got our van back from the repair shop...I miss the 2008 Town and Country loaner we had!
• Dale was called to jury duty and yes he was picked. He hates it. Today should be the last day. He hopes!
• Reed saw the orthodontist and he will need braces....eventually.
• Ruby and I did some reading therapy at the library last night. Was our first time totally on our own and I really enjoyed it. Ruby came home worn out.
• I can't believe all the stores are ready for Christmas already! What happen to the day after Thanksgiving? Now it's the day after Halloween! Next it will be the day after Labor Day! I find it some what depressing.
• Speaking of Christmas I plan to try and get a Christmas photo of the kiddos soon. I realized I never did send our "new address" out to anyone and I want to get my cards out early because of that.
• Well, that about sums up our week! Have a great week-end! I'm hoping we can get out and do some things even though the house is a mess, the yards need raking , the cars need washing.................
