Nothing in particular...but lots

Confused?? Me too!! One more week until Lauren gets braces...well okay, a week and one day:)
Sixth grade is going well...we have had several "back to school" nights...so it feels pretty official now, she's back!! Meet the teacher last night had parents go through their child's schedule, with timed passing periods in the hall.. wow...I felt old!!! Well...young of course compared to some of the other parents, but whatever!! Lauren has to go to school early tomorrow to work in her technology class...I guess getting adapted to the passing periods/learning new ways that she MUST be prepared has not yet made itself to friendly. I'm sure she'll get it, and I'm glad she has a teacher willing to help her get caught up!!!
I do have some new pictures, but have to somehow get Dean to get them from my phone to his computer. The blackberry software is loaded onto his.
By the way...the movie Little Manhattan is on. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it. It is the most adorable little story, and entirely appropriate for even Lauren to see.

Where have I been??!!...and WHY am I not asleep??

Quick update-Lauren had a FANTASTIC bday!! New tv, clothes, $$, puzzle, movies! She's been feeling alright about it:). Tyler had a bday the 15th-and he did alright himself! A new DS, which he has been wanting for quite awhile:)
Tomorrow is the first day of middle school...maybe that is why I am still awake. I am so relieved that everything has come together so well for the start of the school year. Hopefully it will be a great year for Lauren. She is where she wants to be-which will help I am sure.
I guess I should try for some sleep now! Will get pics in the morning!!

Ready for birthday celebrations!!!

We are starting Lauren's bday Wednesday and we'll have some more next weekend!! I have picked up a few things so far..seems like Lauren is getting so old so fast, and I'm really not ready for that. We'll have to get good pics:)
