11 years ago today

Layne and Jacob were born.  I cannot believe they are in Middle School.

They are still doing well adjusting to a new school, much better than I had anticipated after all of the drama of last Spring and this Summer.

Didn't do much this year.  Went to dinner at Ippolito's on Saturday night with Grandma and Papa Jack.  Sunday (their actual birthday) they told us they needed to stay home from church as they had too much homework.  And, they actually did homework all morning. 

Sunday afternoon we went to Sprint and activated their phones.  They each now have a cell phone.  We discussed this is a trial period to make sure they can use them responsibly and take care of them.  They cannot have their phones in their rooms after bed time and they must leave them in their lockers during school. And - mom and dad have the option of checking their phone call log and text messages whenever we wish.  Just some early rules.  I am sure more will come.

They went to Sunday Evening Catalyst at church with Matthew.  The United Methodist Men provided a cookout for the kids and Matthew helped.  Andy Webb sang Happy Birthday to them also.

When they got back we went over to Grandma and Papa Jack's with a birthday cake and oreo ice cream so we could sing Happy Birthday, too.
