A few recent facts and figures .....

A few random updates: (for those loyal fans keeping track)

Soccer statistics this year so far are: Samantha's Mean Green Soccer Queens are 1-2. Samantha has scored two goals so far in this season. After last season at goalie 90% of the time, she is loving this scoring thing! Rachel's Dirt Daubers are also 1-2. Rachel has not scored, but, insists that her time is coming. Officiating seems old hat to her now.

Charlotte has lost two more teeth and is anxious to start growing them back in! She still loves to read, everywhere we go she is reading the signs and her reading skills are above grade level. Way to go, CharlieGirl!

Josephine is still dancing with her pre-schoolers class on Fridays and practicing at home every other day of the week. She literally walks on tip toe around the house and reminds the rest of us to point our toes and use our "pretty" hands.

Jay is still not walking at almost 14 months old. I really wanted him to hold off and be the baby for as long as possible, but, this summer will be a lot more fun if I don't have to carry him everywhere! He will walk around furniture, or when you hold his hands, so it shouldn't be too long.

James is busy with work and more work (AT&T - more bars, more places!). He enjoys talking to people at the store all day and has made some connections with people that are amazing. It sure seems that there really are only 6 degrees of separation in this world, from you to anyone!

After just over two months of using my home made laundry soap, I have just had to make my second batch! What a bargain - approximately $3 worth of ingredients for over two months of clean clothes! Yeah!

In the garden, I have added watermelon, white onions and corn! We harvested our first strawberries (only 2, don't get excited) and they are delicious, if I do say so myself...
