Moving forward

I didn't post last week so I feel like I should post something this week even though there isn't much to tell right now.   Here you go, a simple excuse for not having anything new to tell.

Jeff is working on loose ends while the rest of us are scrambling to pull the fall band tour together and make it happen this week (no joke, this thing has been falling apart from day one).

The older girls are extremely busy with concerts and things, Anna is trying to survive the constant tornado that seems to have taken up residence at our house, I am tired and just a little bit grouchy (that may qualify as an understatement), and  Leighn is taking it all in stride and plugging through the chaos.

The main goal for this week is to sort out the driver license stuff for Jeff and to go out and back with the band with out any more crisis situations. 

Well, with all that said, I'm off to bed so that I can start the day off with an early parent teacher conference, pack for tour, and hopefully get the dog bathed and a hair cut.  For now I'm just going to bed though.

Oh, I almost forgot, Missionary Mall finally got the umbrella in.  Going to pick it up tomorrow, for the third time.  Wish us luck.

Better late than never right?

Obviously I didn't manage to write a post yesterday.  Between school, work, marching band, and trying to get things wrapped up for the missionary boy I'm a little overwhelmed with everything right now.  Give me another week and I'll be back to normal (what ever that is).

In the way of mission preparation we haven't done a whole lot in the past week, just some minor shopping (got the belt from Missionary Mall but still no umbrella) and taking care of some scheduling.  Things are moving slowly at this point, but that won't last long.  As soon as we get home from band tour (Oct 29th) everything will be a whirlwind of getting Jeff ready to go.  Meanwhile we'll just keep our heads above the water and push on through the mountain of things that must be done!

Oh, I almost forgot, I don't know what I was thinking last week.  Jeff enters the MTC on the 16th of November which is 5 weeks from now, not 5 weeks from last week.  Obviously I am number challenged, no one who knows me very well should be surprised by that little tidbit. ; )

Three Photos

Now that the home server is up and running lets have a little look at those photos shall we?

                          

There are two versions of this photo,                                                                         

So what do you think?  What should we hang on the wall for the next couple of years?
