Catching Up, Yet Again!

It's been too long since I've updated, but I have been crazy-busy! I always thought that life would slow down once the kids could get themselves around, etc., but I'm just as busy now, if not more, than I was when they were little! Last night Alex and Evan had a band concert; I'll post some pictures when I can get them off the camera. Evan went to all-state last weekend and got perfect scores on his solo and with his ensemble, so he gets to go to another competition at the end of the month in Austin, so we're excited for him. Alex chose not to participate in the competition, so he's done til auditions for band come around again. They both are so good at their instruments. I wish you could hear them!
Emily did end up buying a car, but it wasn't the one she thought she'd get. She ended up buying a Mitsubishi Gallant, and she is in love with it! She got lucky with the car dealers having trouble moving cars...they knocked half the price off for her. Probably because she's so cute! The only thing she doesn't love is having to pick up Alex and Evan from seminary each morning. But that's the price if you want Dad helping you put gas in it!
Adam got hired at Six Flags, working in the Entertainment Services. He is doing a children's show of The Wiggles. He is so excited to be able to get paid (and free passes) for doing what he loves, singing and dancing. For those of you who have little ones at home and know way more about the Wiggles than I do, he is playing Captain Feathersword. He's really looking forward to it.
We have a new family member, Philip, who is living with us until he can get on his feet. We were friends and neighbors with his family in L.A. and he is living here now, working and will be going to college when he gets all set up. It is fun having him here. But, it is strange having five cars parked at our house all the time. Looks like a gypsy family lives here!
We're all doing really well. I have some testing coming up this month for some health issues, but everything should be okay. That's the only negative right now; we're all plugging happily (most of the time) along. Hope all is well with you and yours!!
