alright - with 24 season three under our belt we have a little more time to do things. as it would turn out 4 episodes a night takes up an amazing chunk of a persons life.

we had our last youth group in hope town. a couple is here now to be full time, which is just what the kids need but it's hard to let go of that.

life has just been a ton of school right now. i woke up the other morning and just got the feeling that i need to get on a plane and go somewhere soon. i have been in one place to long. gypsy blood is starting to pump.

we had our 100th day of school last week. you bet your bottom we had a party. we celebrated the number 100 all day long.

we had our school walk -a-thon.

no it was not a 10 mile walk as it would appear. these girls rocked ONE long mile.

our basketball team was on the road to recovery with one win under it's belt and in our last game we finally came together and got one more win. how did we celebrate...only the best way possible - dance dance and hamburgers.

we finally learned to crawfish - it's honestly a little scary because you have to spear each one and they can whip even after they are on the spear.

i can get you one of these oversized fishermen shirts if you would like. renee - what does this look remind of you - i just slept over at...

laura's secret to becoming an amazing crawfisher is that she becomes one with the animals

i recently found out the grouper fish all start out female and after they have one batch they turn male. i know - hard to believe. but i heard from a real fishermen...unless he was trying to make me look foolish - in that case it was a success.
