So here it is, another year and another school picture. Doesn't he look adorable! He really likes school this year and we just found out that he is on track to start kindergarten next year. His speech therapist says he's really smart and she is having to give him "way" more difficult stuff. This is really good news, since he was having so much trouble before starting school.

We also added a new family member. This one is the 4 legged variety and her name is Lola. She is a Boxer/Beagle/Pit Bull mix and a really good girl! We got her from the Humane Society and she's about one and a half years old. Isn't she cute too?!

Tonight is the ZZ Top concert and tomorrow Steve leaves for Talladega. Quinn and I will be sick of each other by the time he gets back!

Mom and Dad came over during Labor Day weekend and we went to the McCain-Palin rally. It was hot (really hot), but a lot of fun. We saw our preacher and his wife and she tooks some pictures, but I haven't gotten them yet. When I do get them I will post some of them - she actually got a picture of the 3 of us together!

Life has been crazy around here, but Quinn is in school now and things are starting to settle down. He loves his new classmates and all his teachers, although Ms. Amanda is his favorite! Rosie is his best buddy right now, and they get to see each other all week. Then they get to see each other in Sunday school. I will post a picture of the two of them together some time soon.

We are just dragging along here - we have a bathroom to finish up and the other one to get started on and would like to be done with both before Christmas (but given how long the first one is taking, I'm not holding my breath).

Steve is gearing up for his annual trip to Talladega, and I'm dreading it since Quinn will be on break from school during that time. I'm trying to gear up to lose weight, but haven't been successful - yet!

We have been reading a great series of books by Joel C. Rosenberg. The first one is called "The Last Jihad" and it's really, really good. One of those books that you just can't put down!

Tonight we went over to Tammy's house so Quinn could pay with his friends Abby, Nathan and Andrew. We had pizza and then went to the playground. A great way to wear out the kids so they will go to bed early and sleep all night.

Here is a current picture of Quinn. He was at Nathan & Abby's birthday party and played his first game of miniature golf.
