2nd week of school

Highlights this week:

*Danny did come to town last weekend for more relic hunting, was great visiting with him again.

*Did the first warehouse practice, it was decent I think.

*Took Tanner, Brooke, and Drew to the "back to school" party at the church on Saturday night. They had jumping castles and snow cones and face painting and stuff.

*Sunday Tyler got baptized. It was pretty cool. Nowadays you can hoot and holler for people when they get baptized. It really was a proud moment. Then, poetically, as soon as his baptism was finished, a rainbow appeared in the sky right above us. It was really neat.

*Tyler is still loving high school. And he even tells me about his day when I ask about it now, and rarely gets irritated about me asking. Isn't it just totally fun watching your children discover the world???? At every age for that matter. Thursday night was "Meet the Gators" night at the high school. All the football players line up on the field to be introduced along with their parents. We took Caley with us too.
Tanner decided Tuesday afternoon that he finally wants to learn how to ride a bicycle. He's had 2 or 3 bicycles in his life but never has learned to ride one. And has never even WANTED to. He told Papaw once, "I'm just a walking kinda guy". But he became very adamant, and suddenly so, about learning to ride one. He pulled up his biggest rusty old bike from the back yard (which is still too little) and talked Rusty into putting some of Drew's old training wheels on it. He has practiced every afternoon with the training wheels. He does not want to take them off, even though we tell him as old as he is he'll probably learn real fast to ride without them. Anyway, we'll see how long it takes him to learn to ride.
*Rusty and I had a 2 day argument over the tuning up/tuning down of musical instruments. I never knew that the guitar is such a limited instrument. I think I always thought of it as having near the range of a piano for some reason.
*Oh yeah......the limb. I made an insurance claim on it. Late Friday night, the limb fell the rest of the way off - but STILL did not hit the house. (We must be living right.) So by the time the insurance adjuster came on Saturday (we were not home when he came), the limb was DOWN, and NOT on the roof. It killed our swing, but no visible damage to the roof. So I'm now wondering if it looked like I lied to him, saying the limb was touching the roof and then he sees it on the ground. I don't know. I still have not heard from the insurance company on the claim yet. I did end up paying Dale to chop it up and throw it in the woods on Monday though. So now I can rest peacefully.
*Work is going well. My old boss visited us at work this week, haven't seen him in nearly 2 years. I enjoyed his shock at seeing me, I must say lol. He made a big to-do over my weight loss. Most people are so used to it now I don't get that reaction very often anymore so it's nice when I do lol.
*I tried "pilates". It hurts.
