Awaiting aunt Lynn's arrival......oh goodie, oh goodie, oh goodie!!!!!!!!!!

isaiah & charlie (read wee tornados) in oklahoma city

we are just giddy to be here still! although we are a bit much for gigi & pe paw! poor gigi & pep paw are used to having a bit more of a peaceful & quiet abode! grandma has been showing me new recipes (look out daddy!) she also managed to get suckered into six more lego sets! (WHAT!!!!?) they were supposed to be christmas gifts. but...oh well...who knows what tomorrow will bring, right!?
oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA BARGE, by the way! hope you have a wonderful day!
we have had a few trips to kohl's, for some great deals naturally, and we already have a packed box to send home!
uncle joe came from keller (just west of dallas/fortworth area) with his newfindlander, earl. they are both earthbound angels. it was so special of him to drive up & meet isaiah. (he met charlie when we came for kelsey's wedding i think) (we are missing kelsey this trip because she is in seattle!! i sent a pic to luke of unlce joe & charlie, & his response was he just finished lunch with kelsey! awesome!)
lynn & her crew are scheduled to be here late tonight.

Aww. Sad. Our baby watermelons are rotting out:(

school has begun!!

charlie is very excited to go to school. 915-335 is a full day for him (& isaiah & i too to be without him!) he was pacing & jumping around this morning waiting, & waiting for the bus!...with abuot six or seven other kids (one with bright green spikey hair! ooh! i asked charlie if he wanted green hair, he said no) eventually, a car pulls up with a wee one in it & the guy yells out. "um. the bus broke down. maybe 15 minutes?" OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  the rest of the kids leave our bus station to get driven into school. charlie is NOT about to not ride the bus. so we wait. finally, it comes! hahaa. what an exciting way to begin! & of course charlie wants to know HOW the bus broke...
isaiah is heart broken. he wants to go with charlie. we're going to grocery shop & clean & organize ...well, that is the plan anyways!.

waiting..& waiting..& waiting..(after pacing for fifteen minutes!)

he has to wear that little card for the first two weeks. it has his name, bus number, phone number, teacher, & room number.
