Slowing Down...

There hasn't been a whole lot going on lately, since school started. Bailey got a hair cut, looks like a cute little boy-dog again, minus all the stickers he got into from the field across the street. Our church had a Parent's Night Out and the kids had a blast while David and I went to see Tropic Thunder (that's what David gets for leaving me to make the plans!) He would always prefer to go somewhere and "talk" and I usually want to go see something get blown up. Total role reversal. But the movie was hilarious and we had time for dessert afterwards so we could "talk".

On Sunday we had a girl scout meeting at Texas Jumping Beans so they got to wear themselves out there for a while. We got Karate Kid from the library and watched that, they both really enjoyed it, and I think it's so funny to watch these movies that I grew up with and watch them enjoy them for the first time. My poor brother is gonna have to gear up for another few years of being called "Daniel-son" though.

Other than that, we've been watching the Olympics, the gymnastics are amazing, and it's kind of given Riley a vision of what he's working towards, not that we are pushing him to that level of competition, but it's good to see what you can accomplish with all the hard work that he puts into it. He's still doing 4 hours a week for the gymnastics team, so who knows, maybe 2016 Olympics will be his year. Regan is still in it, but her hearts not really in it like Riley's. She wants to drop it and take horseback riding lessons. I told her she's going to have to wait until it's not 100 degrees every day!

And that's about all that's going on in our corner of the world these days. We have the circus coming up this weekend, and our annual trip to see Aunt Kathy and the lake in Jacksonville, and fingers crossed, a trip to the beach for fall break.
