New Chapter in life

We now have Gavin full time. What a blessing, it has taken a year to get him down here. Alot of tears, sweat and money. He is continuing playing clarinet in the band. The school had to change around his schedule to accomidate band which means he was kicked out of P.E. had had to go into athletics. In other words he has to play football now. I think this will do him a wolrd of good. Trying something new and very different from his norm, also a chance to make great friends.
A few more pictures from our vacation:

Angie and Derek took us out on their boat in lake Lowell. Debbie Dereks mom went, also my brother Travis and his boy Haydn, along with Angies kids, Jed, Hunter, and LouLou and of course Gavin, Sami and I. We had a blast tubing, talking, laughing and snacking. At the end of this trip little Lou lou got sick. The Doctors think maybe she got Ecoli from the water. She was sick for 2 weeks before they figured out what was wrong with her. A scary time. She wouyldn't eat and lost alot of weight. She can't afford to loose weight either, she is so tiny. All is well now.

Wonderful times

What an exciting summer it has been. Loved having my parents come visit and see our new place. The kids and I traveled to Idaho for a fun filled 4 weeks.
We have registered gavin for school here. What a neat school he will be going to. There is no text books, everything is done on line. No back packs or school supplies needed. Cool beans.
We are all getting adjusted to our new surroundings. Well...mostly Gavin. He has to get use to the way we live here, It is very different than his dads house. He seems to enjoy it very much.
