Happy 225th USA!

Posted by Scott at 09:11 AM

It's now been two and a quarter centuries since the USA declared independence from the UK. Ironically my employer, VAutomation, is owned by ARC Cores, a British company trading on the London Stock Exchange.

We spent the 4th of July at home. Michael wasn't doing to well, napwise. Even today he's got a cough (as do most of the kids) that sounds of congestion. Last night Daniel woke up a couple of times before midnight. He felt rather warm. Michelle gave him some baby Tylenol, stripped him to just his diaper, and turned on the whole house fan so that a breeze would come in his window.

I extracted several pictures from the camera during the boys nap time yesterday. I'm feeling a bit lazy about web editing this week so I won't put any local version up. If you want to see the shots (and possibly order a few) follow this link to dotPhoto and enjoy the presentation. I ordered 5x7's of the boys on their quilts, Abby on her trike, Claire doing a workbook, and an 8x10 of the girls together on their bikes. Most everything else I ordered 4x6s.

Michelle is teaching twice this week. Monday she had her usual morning class and tonight she will substitute teach for Joanne. It can be quite a challenge for her to get the kids into the Y early enough so that she can get the audio equipment set up. I didn't go on Monday but plan on going to her class tonight.

As I mentioned earlier, Michelle's older sister, Gina, is flying out on Saturday to visit for a week. We just found out yesterday that Gina is pregnant. Yeah!!! Please pray for this pregnancy as Gina has had some miscarriages in the past. It can take a lot of courage to try again after miscarriage. Gina currently is a full time mom of a boy who is Claire's age and a girl that's a little younger than Abby.
