It’s been awhile since I blogged.  We had a great time camping in Utah with Tom’s family.  But then it was back to school.  Spencer started high school (!) last week.  He isn’t really enjoying himself yet – too much to do.  He’s playing freshman football which takes all kinds of time.  Plus he just started seminary this week and is adjusting to the early morning wake up call.  But if he can make it through the fall, I think he will survive!  Andrew & Haley are out of school now – just went off track.  I’m keeping them busy with housework and some school work too (handwriting practice for Andrew, math work for Haley).  They would prefer to watch tv and play computer games all day – so they aren’t having their ideal vacation – Oh Well!!  I’ve been trying to actually get my house back in fighting shape.  My bathrooms are finally clean, the furniture has been dusted for the first time in six weeks, and I actually have vacuumed the whole house twice in the last week (a miracle!!).  I feel like I can stand to be in my home now.  Now, if I could just get myself out in the yard to do some cleanup.  We had a wonderful weekend of rain, last weekend.  It just rained and rained and rained.  I haven’t seen it rain like that here ever!  But we so needed the water and it cooled things off beautifully.  Well – I’ll try and write again soon.
