Global Warming

OK, so I've decided the dbate really rages that people are no longer denying there IS Global Warming...they're just denying that it's MAN who is creating it. So I guess we just need to tell them, regardless of WHO'S doing it we all can do something to fix it. So let's just DO it!

What if the Beatles were Irish?

Sent My Leader to Washington, DC

I sent Kristen off to DC yesterday morning! She was all set to go. She actually called me when the plane landed and said "We made it!" Then she called me last night to tell me all the cool things she's doing. She's staying at the University of Maryland dormitory. At the airport we found 3 other girls from this area at the airport gate waiting area. All Kristen's age. So on my drive home from the airport I had that sad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm so proud of Kristen and excited for the opportunities she's getting...but I have a bit of anxiety that something bad might happen to her. After Kristen left, Alex decided he would move out too. So he just up and packed his things and moved out to the club house in the backyard! He took his shower last night with our garden hose! And he's watering the jalapeno's I'm growing back there so he'll have food to eat. I woke up this morning to find him "washing" his clothes with my garden hose. GOOD LORD! Funny, how he comes by to "Visit" when it's meal time or there's a good show on tv!

Cool You Tube Video

I forgot I wanted to add this video the last time I posted. Thought it was cool! Enjoy!

Dog Days of summer!

I guess I'm going to blog once a month instead of once a week or every day. Oh well!

Since my last post the family now has a new family dog: Spirit. Like the Holy Spirit. Cool name. She's a little mixed breed Richardson Animal shelter dog. She's about 5 months old now. Still very much a puppy. Still being housetrained. Still learning some basic commands. But everyone in the family pitches in to take care of her. I still catch myself calling her Sandy.

Frank has come back from Mt. Mordor. He forgot to throw the ring in so we're going to have to send him back. He learned that it's probably not just a great idea to slide down the mountain to get down. The only things to stop your fall are large sharp hard bolders! :0 But he did eventually make it back to civilization pretty much in one piece! Wonder when he's going back!

Kristen is at the Pines Catholic Camp in East Texas, Joseph has started indoor soccer and has won his frst game. Alex keeps chugging along with his cello and tin whistle now. The kids went to Irish traditional music camp at the beginning of the month and had a blast!

Kristen will be home for a week then will head out to Leadership camp in Washington, DC. I'll try and blog again soon!
