Just a quick note to let all know I am alive. The motherboard on my computer has died. My new computer is up and running and we're awaiting the arrival of the CD-rom driver for the dsl modem.With that I'll be back to give full reports on Our trip to Catalina Island for our anniversary, Katie's week at surf camp, and Beth and Tori's adventures at Girl Scout camp.

Catching up!!!

I left off with the last day of swim lessons and Tim taking the new position. He loves the new place, it's a huge firm compared to his small one before, and the best part is the commute went from 90 minutes to 30!!! The week after that was a "down" week, no big plans, which was great because I ended up having to get my battery replaced. It died at my interview, which I have the job as long as my security clearance goes through. That shouldn't be too hard, I've never done anything illegal.  Wednesday my mom watched the kids with help from Beth and I went to San Diego to play with a couple girlfriends from my fitness board. We had a BLAST!!!! It was cooler but still pretty warm. Friday we did a playdate with one of the kids from swim lessons. It was fun!!!

This week is our classes at the museum, it's a momentous year, Beth will "graduate" out of the program as she's entering 8th grade. And Drew and I sharing my last time in a parent/me class. Next year I'll take the kids sign them in and be on my own...I've no idea what Beth will want to do. She might volunteer, or she might find an alternative camp somewhere else.  We've made lots of new friends this week, and have had a wonderful time, but I'm pooped!!!!

Tuesday Tim and I celebrated our 14th anniversary, we made dinner together, ate with the kids on the patio and enjoyed hanging out together. Tomorrow evening we leave for Catalina Island for the weekend, my parents will watch the kids while we're off parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and generally hanging about. It should be a lot of great fun, and relaxing with a bit of adventure mixed in.

Now I'm off to start dinner early as we're going to the circus tonight. The kids will enjoy the whole thing, and I love watching the acrobats!!!
