such a slacker

okay...well....life has been pretty hectic around here. school started on august 11th for me and the 14th for the kids. i have 22 precious fifth graders this year. i am already swamped with papers to grade (my least favorite part of the job), but i have a great class. oh yes, i have a few rotten eggs, but you will always have those kids to keep you on your toes. last week seemed to be the neverending week!

i became an aunt for the 6th time last wednesday. my younger sister gave birth to her second child....a boy....named Case Simpson Stiles. He weighed 8.4....scrawny lil' thing!! especially since his big brother was 9.14!! it was nice that we live to so close and i was able to go to the hospital right after school that day to visit with Case and his mommy!

troy got his last chemo treatment last week! praise the Lord!! we celebrated on Friday by going to the Third Day/Switchfoot/Jars of Clay concert. It was a good time!

abigail and brandt are off to a good start of school. brandt got his first 100% on a spelling test today. i treated to him to a M&M McFlurry for doing such a good job.
