Whew! Since summer started I taught the preschool level Bible stories at VBS, went back to NY to see relatives, got a new car, and registered for classes which start tomorrow. And I'm teaching Children's Church for the rest of July. We're theoretically going to Kaylee's dedication in OH next month, but we don't know how we'll pay for the hotel so we may not. That'd be sad though. We'll see.

So we're BUSY! EEP!

Well, there's not much news, but I'm tired of looking at my April entry. My folks are returning from visiting my brother and meeting their granddaughter; I can't wait to see pix from their trip.

We're just hanging out around here; getting more boring pix of the yard and critters and flowers and things. We started a garden and so far I'm growing insect meals. If I don't get my act together, we'll be having to de-worm the lovely big tomatoes before we eat them.

What else? Um. ~Spielorjh got tickets good Tuesday night for Indiana Jones, and then his department planned a release and he's on call that night. So we're not going. Wednesday I have an appointment with a pulminologist to see why I keep getting bronchitis. Thursday is our 9th anniversary. Saturday is our church's Family Beach Day. Sunday is my best friend's birthday. Two weeks later I'll be the story lady for VBS at our church, preschool level. The we'll be visiting NY over July 4 week/end. After that it's calm for a few weeks until we go to Ohio for Kaylee's dedication.

Hopefully by then I'll have a job!

Well, it's turned out to be an interesting month! I recovered from my trip, buckled down trying to finish my resume, apply for jobs, and get my teacher's portfolio up to snuff, and then we had friends from out of town come visit yesterday. We spent all day out and about; we wandered around Charleston downtown, and spent some time at the beach, and time at home chatting.

I hadn't seen her in decades... we went to elementary school together, and only had seen each other maybe twice since then, one of which was at her wedding, so we didn't really have time to talk. It was wonderful to see her. It was even better to get to know her husband, and have both of them get to know -my- husband, and to discover that we all have loads in common and the same sense of humor, and that we'd all be great friends and hang out all the time if we lived in the same place. Very very cool.

I've posted just a few pictures from the day. There are more of them on my account on flickr, mostly because I don't have the option here of uploading en mass and it was taking waaaay too long. So feel free to jump on over there as well and take a look.

Coming up: a family reunion on the beach. My cousin lives here in town, and her immediate family (which now totals 13 people) are renting a beach house for the week. My folks are coming down on Thursday night next week for the weekend, and we'll all be chillin' out on the Isle of Palms. Hopefully there'll be some good pix.

This month I plan to:

1. Survive this crazy weather.
2. Fly from sea to shining sea.
3. Hang out with college roomies and other college friends.
4. Meet my niece.
5. Enjoy Easter with my folks.
6. Collapse.

That should more or less round out the month of March. Either you won't see me at all because I'll be too busy or you'll see me a lot because I have so many pix of the baby to share. Who knows?

All your prayers paid off!! WOOOOO!!!

Kaylee Elaine was born at 4:25 this morning, at 7lbs 14oz. She's adorable! All I have so far though is a fuzzy cell phone pic... good enough for me, but not for posting. I'll be meeting her a week from Sunday, and I'll see what I can do.

Poor kid will turn 1 in 2012. Our family can't do anything normally!
