Long Time; No Blog

I meant to blog, but a combination of things happened. My computer goes on strike every Saturday which is my day off. I can't get the internet all day. It's really weird. Then, last week, I started back to work.

I think that we're going to have a really good year. I love the kids so far, even though it promises to be more work. Three in wheelchairs and four with special needs. Despite it all, I really enjoy my work.

So, now that I am back at work, you wonder what I accomplished this summer? Not much. Just kidding. I did one very significant thing; I finished my second novel. YEAH!!! I've started on the third. Now all I have to do is sell one.

Another thing Vaughn and I did was to encourage our son, Andrew, to pursue his music career. He has since met with a producer and is in the process of cutting a demo with his friend and bandmate, Scott Leppelman.

I also prodded Ryan on to good works. He has just finished his first pastel landscape. I will post it as soon as I find my camera. It is a picture of a beach with a bunch of people grouped under some red and white umbrellas. It's awesome!

David got a job this summer and seems to be doing well. He has a girlfriend named Lauren. So, there are two Laurens in the house.

Lauren did alot of reading and preparing for the school year. She is an amazing girl. She went from not being able to read at all to reading at almost her grade level in less than four years. She is dyslexic.

Anyway, I'll come back later with more details.
