Today we went to Costco to have out pictures taken for our passports. That wasn't too bad because we got to eat lunch while we waited for the pictures to be developed. But the wait at the post office (an hour) was a different story. The kids were bored out of their minds and John taking video made Natalie especially happy !
Well - at least it's done - well almost ! Apparently the year Erin was born the state of California was distributing birth "abstracts" instead of birth certificates so we still have to go to the Hall of Records to get a correct copy of Erin's birth certificate ! YEA!! then back to the post office AGAIN ! At least this time it will only be with one child and we'll know to go first thing in the morning !

Girls Camp 2008

Natalie is home !! YEA !! I am so thankful for all of the camp leaders that made her week so wonderful - she loves you and so do I !! Less than a month till school is back in !! (Sorry to my teacher friends - I don't mean to wish away your vacation I just long for order and a little quiet time !) I am thankful for Jill - she's at the beach this week and was at girl's camp last week - she's been busy this summer but has been there everytime I've needed her. She knows what I mean and how important it was. I'm thankful that my washing maching works because I have some stinky camp clothes to wash ! I am thankful for toaster struedal (sp?) it makes my kids REALLY happy - go figure !
