First week of school

The first week of school has come and gone and all is well here in Ingram Texas.(except we all could use some rain and cooler temps.) Brendan has made a new friend named Michael who just happens to live down the street. We all walk home together and after he checks in they have been doing their homework together. (I like this kid.) Cassie has finally decided not to play football(YEAH!!!) instead she and a girl friend are going to be the water girls for the team. She even made them t-shirts to wear at the games. She is doing very well in band Johnson says she is playing better than ever.
Don't forget to check the scores in the right hand corner of the blog and as you can see we lost but it was a well fought game we scored first and only lost by one touchdown.

End of summer and start of school

I know that I haven't had any post this summer but with work and having to share computers with the kids computer time for me has been very limited to say the least. Everyone has had a great summer. Cassie and Brendan have been "working" with Miguel at McDonald's. By working I mean they have been going in with him and making parfaits and other jobs he didn't want to do until I got off from work and then coming home with me. He has been paying them for everyday they go in. They have learned very fast no work no pay. Brendan got to go to Dream Kamp which he just loved and can't wait to go again. Cassie has already started back to school sort of. She has been at "Band camp" last week and will be there this week too. She will be very busy once school actually starts because she will be in athletics, band and will have two advanced placement classes- biology and algebra I. Brendan will only have three different teachers for his core classes since there are only three six grade classes and each class period will ninety minutes long.
