Wednesday

Well, Claudia's back home safe and sound and she says she had a fabulous two weeks in Memphis and Texas. Thanks to my wonderful Aunt Sandy who she stayed with and palled around with in Memphis and my parents for all the cool things they did with her, including toting her 1000 miles and Rafe and Christine for having her over for a week and doing so many cool things while she was there. Claudia stole Jamie's rubber chicken and took photos of him all along the route to Texas. I'll post those pretty soon--they're very funny. The chicken had some serious adventures!

Jason and Leah are arriving this evening to stay with us for a couple of days. We're so excited! We all love having those two around.

And school is now looming. Looming! First day is next Wednesday and tomorrow is Claudia's registration where she'll get her class schedule, locker assignment, gym clothes, and school photos. Sammy and Jordan have a meet the teacher thing next Monday and then they all have curriculum nights on the 23rd. Wheeee!!!

Friday and Saturday night my band is playing at Connor Prairie before the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra plays and I got tickets for Jamie and the girlies to stay and see them perform (I get to stay because of the band thing). It's supposed to be New Orleans themed so probably fun for the kids.
