Well, here is my family.  Lance our 20 year old son, John, hubby, Samuel, 7 in 13 days! and Chloë our 17 year old daughter.  I took this picture in the end of May and it was about 40 degrees outside.  Its on top of the Empire State Building.  Notice Chloë's purse...its made out of juice boxes!!!  We got it at a flea market in the city a few weeks before this day.  It is made in the Philippines, and that is how some women make a living out there, by making these purses!  She has gotten more compliments on this 10 dollar purse, then on her 200 dollar Louis Vitton ( my sister gave her, I would never spend that much on a purse)( sheesh , I don't spend 200 bucks on anything in general!).  I like it better too. lol.

So...it is now November 6th.  Our school year is going pretty ok.  Chloë took her SATs yesterday. Again.  She has vowed never to take them as long as she lives.  Even if she gets a 200.  lol.  Samuel is reading so much better! I am so proud of him. 

John turns 40 this month.  He is such a grump about it!  Of the 21 years we have been married, this is by far his grump year.  Poor guy.  And Lance is going to Rutgers.  Yeah, No nice Baptist school, but God is still in control.  John & lance are going apartment hunting this weekend, while Chloë & I go tot he Revolve Tour.  Samuel will spend the weekend at his BF house.  Life is good.
