Well, it's been an interesting couple of weeks here, and with another hurricane possibly on its way here, I'm thinking a smallish update now is probably a good idea. Should Ike decide that SoFlo is the place to hang, we'll likely be taking an unscheduled vacation for a day or two until he leaves. Normally, I welcome guests, but this would be one of those exceptions to the rule.
School finally got off to a shaky start once Fay was done dumping buckets of water on us, and Caedyn reports that his new set of teachers are decidedly...boring. That's right, folks. For two weeks now, the answer to "How was school today?" has been "Boring." Is it starting to become obvious that he'll be a teenager in a week and a half?
Incidentally, Caedyn was showing me some of the things that he'd like to get for his birthday, and between the indecision and the pricetags (including a couple of Lego sets that are running in the neighborhood of $50 and change), the discussion that followed brought us to the conclusion that he'd really like to shop for his own presents this year. While I think we'll probably get away with presents under the tree one more Christmas, I think he's come to the point where gift cards are the best strategy. The mommy in me cries "Presents!!!", but the practical mom in me sees that those items he has chosen himself in the last year have survived in his attentions longer.
So, family members, there ya go. Gift cards. Wal-mart and Borders are best, because he'll go through them the fastest. Unless you live down here and want to do Kabooms, since instead of a birthday party (with the old folks), he's opting for taking two friends there for an afternoon of video games and pizza like last year.
There are other things going on, but mostly they're just keeping us on our toes. Keep us in your prayers and warm thoughts, and stay in touch!
God bless.
