Hi friends,
I just dropped off my girls for their first day of school. Emily and Corrine are now both in school full day - 8am to 3pm. I thought I was going to be all "yahoo" and "I'm free", but I am more "Oh no" and "So Sad" - it has really caught me off guard. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have a summer cold, just started my period, and haven't consistently woken up before 7am in over 3 years?!?!? It was pretty interesting driving to school today, I didn't know so much hussle and bussle happened before 10:30am?
Hope you all are gearing up for the new school year. I would love to read about how you and your families are doing.
Love, Kathy

Full Time Students
Well,
Starting July 25, I'll have both girls in full-time school!!!!! Oh yeah, I mean BOOOHOOO. We just got back from three weeks in Canada. We had a great trip, and I didn't even fight with Dad this year! We all got along great. Brian, the girls, Oma, and Opa and I all went to see the National Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta - large diansour museum, AWESOME! - spent the night in the hotel two nights, played in the pool, hiked in the HOODOOS, walked across the suspension bridge and crossed the river on the ferry for a picnic. We then went to Stetller, Alberta to ride the steam-engine train, got robbed by horseback thieves and had a country buffet in Big Valley - with the blue church on the hill. I felt very country!
Now we are back and the girls are getting geared up to start First and Third grade. I loved helping out in the classrooms last year, and will do so again this year. I am looking forward to using my day hours to participate in women's ministry again, and maybe do some hospital visitation for the church.
I finally let Corrine out of piano after two years of fighting over practice. Both girls took swim lessons this summer, and Corrine is actually very good. Both are in tumbling still and we are looking into either Brownies or soccer for the Fall.
Brian and I are doing very well, we are able to share our thoughts and feelings openly and have worked hard at listening to one another. We have had more date nights and spend more time talking about what is going on, so we don't let our busy schedules get the best of us.
I am hopeful that you are all well. Thanks to Katy for this great tool for sharing our lives.
