Today is our first quiet day all week. It's almost 9 and Lexie is still sleeping. I wish the other 2 would sleep in. But no such luck. John-William is turning 8 in just a few days. We're having a bowling party for all his friends and then a family party tomorrow night. Ben's parents are coming into town to celebrate with us. He's getting a Wi for his birthday. He's so excited.
Last weekend Ben and I went to Charleston for a long weekend. It was so much fun. I actually got blisters from all the walking we did. It was nice to be alone without the kids and just enjoy some alone time. Summer is almost over. The kids start school Aug. 20th. It's time to start shopping for uniforms and school supplies. The kids are going to be attending a new school this year. The tuiton at Statesville Christian was going up and it was such a long drive. We found a wonderful Christian school only 10 minutes from the house that I never knew was there. Because of the tuition hike quite a few of the kids from Statesville are changing schools so Lexie and John-William will have friends in their new classes. Sophie will be starting preschool 3 mornings a week at a local church. I can't wait. She's so excited about going to a big girl school like her brother and sister.
