Latest Happenings

We have been running around doing a million things at once. A couple of Saturdays ago we had L.R.'s science fair, Q's Odyssey tournament, and A's basketball game all at once (we only made two of the three.) What do people with eight kids do?
L.A. has only got two more weeks of college for her freshman year. It has been a great experience for her, but she's ready to leave "Iceberg," and we're looking forward to having her around. She is going to work over the summer, but we'll get to see her a lot.
P. is still enjoying his job. In the evening he serenades us with "Boil-em Cabbage Down" and "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on his banjo, which the kids are fairly ambivalent about.
Baby is turning into such a good doggie that we may get another one. Ginger is the dog of our former bishop, and he and his wife have been called on a mission and need a home for her. But our first two attempts to get the dogs together have ended in scuffles, so I'm not sure this will work out.
This week I'm getting ready for the state Odyssey tournament, which is on Saturday - I coach Q's team. His last structure held 207 pounds, which, as I've looked over the results from other tournaments, is pretty good, but could be better. So we'll see. I'll post pictures of it next time....
