So, tomorrow will be exactly one year since I've posted to the blog. Guess what....I'm back! Now that we have made the move to NW Indiana, I have vowed to update the family blog on a regular basis. So much has happened since last August, so much catching up is needed.

Sam is in eighth grade. School (Wilbur Wright Middle School) officially starts tomorrow and he's a little nervous and excited at the same time. He's grown like a weed! Now taller than me and skateboarding like a fiend.



Celia begins St. Paul Lutheran School (pre-school) next Monday, August 22. She too has grown like a weed and gotten very leggy! Her skinny waist has stayed the same but it seems her legs have doubled in length! She's still as feisty as ever!



John Paul loves his work. It is a stressful job, but it keeps him moving, which he enjoys. His work commute is only 20 minutes or so and he gets to go to Michael Jackson's home town everyday (if you've ever seen Gary, Indiana you know that can be a very, very scary place!!). He is still running and trying to keep that girlish figure!

I'm still looking for a job up here in great NW Indiana. It doesn't seem that it will be a very easy task considering 400 people applied for one teaching job just about 15 minutes away in Illinois. Being so close to Chicago multiplies the competitiveness of job hunting. But, I'm going to sub in the town as well as sub at Celia's school. I'm actually looking forward to making some new art and maybe even exhibiting again. Looks like the north winds have blown in change!
