BIG NEWS

Well another month has gone by!! I am not a very good blogger!!!! I can put the blame on the kids though!! They are usually on the computer but Kristin is at band camp, Lizzi is sleeping , Gabe is eating and the other kids are playing an "old fashion board game" (their words! I guess if it doesn't plug in then it is old fashion).

So the month of July was very busy!! I am gone doing more kid running now then during school!!

My family will not have Thanksgiving dinner together this year!

Well I said there is some BIG news!




OK that is only part of it!!
Do you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Well you should!!!



I get to watch it in person this year as Kristin IS IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has been invited to march with the Macy's Great American Marching Band!! They lead the parade!!!! This is such a huge honor! She is in the Color Guard (which perform with the flags). She is representing the state of Washington as they only pick one person from each state to be in the Color Guard. We will be there from the Sat B4 Thanksgiving to Friday after. There is a lot of practice but also some fun - tours and eating and such!!
Anyway pray for us-we want a great flight and nice weather! Oh and she will be wearing a red uniform with a silver star on the front-as for me I have not yet decided (ha ha).
