The Hannah Family

The kids dumping ice water on me!

In answer to Claire's report on her new bed, just look (click to enlarge)

Along with the new computer...

You are ALL new contacts. If you haven't written me this month, please shoot me a quick email so I can save your address easily. Otherwise I have to hunt you down or lose you (EEK). Thanks in advance!

Claire's first full-size bed will be delivered this Thursday

Dave is green with envy.

"When Kate moves out, can I take her room and get a new bed?"

"Sure."

Dave: "Well... Fine!"

Approaching 2 weeks of separation

Matt said he REALLY misses Mandy, will likely be here around month's end.

I am excited for Diana Gabaldon

She is the author of the very popular Outlander series. The books are long, but intriguing. I would say that because I enjoy romance, time travel, historical fiction, and everything else she has thrown into this eclectic mix of an adventure.

If you have cable (or a pal with cable), Starz has already signed for the 2nd season, right after they began filming the first. They are following the books, the casting is excellent and I am enjoying the show. So give Outlander a try. I believe the first episode is free on YouTube.

My baby is leaving for the first time

Confusing

Last year, Dave couldn't spell his way out of a repetitive Dr. Seuss book.

On the second school week of his 3rd grade year, Dave was assigned 23 legitimate words and he spelled all except one correctly on the first try. I honestly believe part of it is because I caved and let him interact online during his favorite video game. He doesn't have a headset so he has to type his sentences while "talking." He learned a thousand words in a week, and didn't realize he was "learning."

Forgot to mention

Returned to our church at long last, St. Michael's, this past weekend. First time in a long time. Not saying I'm good -- simply admitting before that I was 'too dog gone mad' to attend services while Katie was in such pain after Danny passed... I know He has a Higher plan. Just saying I'm angry.

Moving van

They went to Matt's two roommates houses first so the U-Haul truck that Mark rented was nearly full when they got here. Matt is leaving in 3 days and his room is still packed. My minivan can only hold so much, after which Dave and Claire will claim the spoils... Dave said, "I hope Matt lets me have his magnetic dart board..."
