Ok, ok I know!

Ok, so I am a lame blogger. Ever since I've been on Facebook, I've spent way too much computer time on there. I need Facebook Anonymous. Anyway, to catch up our second summer at Grafton Acres, it was much calmer than last summer. We have really enjoyed our house this last full year here. It's been fun looking at old pictures and blogs. Sam is in middle school (7th) grade this year and probably grew a foot. He is taller than me and wears a mens size 13. I have lost my little boy and now have a beautiful pre-teen. He is strong in his convictons and standards. Middle school is gonna be a tough test for him, but I know he will stand tall. He was ordained a Deacon at church last April when he turned 12. He also is continuing with the Trombone.
Daniel just missed the cut off date for Kindergarten for Midview Schools by a few weeks. So that means another year of preschool. The new school this year is more geared for Pre-K. He had one day last week, and will go tomorrow and Thurs. of this week. Next week will be our first 3 day a week schedule. He is growing as well and talks my ear off. He is wearing glasses and looks more and more like Sam.
Matt is still (luckily) at A-roo. They have been good to us. He is enjoying his work there. He is so talented with creative abilities, it totally amazes me. He is a good husband and father. Leadership skills are one of his strenghs. He is working in the Young Men's Program at church. He teaches the 14-16 year olds.
I am the children's Primary President, and that keeps me really busy. I have excellent helpers in the program. Been trying to get some piano students lined up for the school year. We have advertised around and no callers yet. Well, no, I have one little girl that lived on the next street over that's gonna start in a few weeks. I met her mom, she works at the library.
So life at the Minnich's are 'status quo'. Still getting things done in the house, but now have enjoyed the journey even more. Will get some pictures posted soon.
