I know that pink and black jungle bunny will have a hard time believing this, but I have FINALLY relented and we now have an adorable dachshund (plain ole weiner dog to some) puppy! I'm sure you've guessed that his name is Tommy (last name is Hillfiger lol!). Everybody around here is having a big time with Tommy, and so far, I am enjoying him very much. Pictures will be posted at a later time!

Saturday, August 18, 2007Camp!
It's camp season! Seth, our third child, is returning today from camp. The two weeks previous to this, we were at camp. I love camp! I always say that I'm not going to go, and I seem to always end up there! The first week was young teens camp (12-16 yo's), and I actually didn't go to camp; but three people of our family were there. They had a great time. Morgan was on the Lions' team and EJ on the Tigers' team. EJ was the captain of his team~ a BIG job! At the end of that week, Matt actually asked if I wanted to go the next week. I considered it (for a minute or two at least!), and I decided to go...then not to go...finally, to go (because the kids all wanted to go). Anyway, it was great week! Dividing the teens by age was the best thing we've done.
 One of the directors, Ed (Jungle Mom's brother-in-law) The "big guns" (two other directors and a pastor)  Morgan at camp as a camper for the first time!  EJ and Jason (Vernoy) "Workers" at camp (yours truly and Ethan) "Swinger" at camp! (Seth) Ed being silly!Thursday, August 16, 2007"Courageous" they call her! I am proud to have been given the Courageous Blogger Award by my good friend, Rita Vernoy from The Jungle Hut. I have no idea why; I don't feel courageous or brave (but I do feel a little weary!) I'm just hanging in here... Award rules: 1) If you have received an award simply choose either the dark or light background image and save it to your files, then post it proudly on your blog! 2) Pass the award on to five other people, you can choose any of the awards from the series, you do not have to pass out the exact award you received. Choose whichever of the awards below that you'd like to give out. You can give out one of each or five of the same one, whatever you prefer. 3) You can change the size and color of awards to suit your blog, that's up to you, it's your blog, just leave the titles the same. 4) Please link back to this post so that people can read these rules and so that the meanings of the awards will not be lost. 5) If you feel that you or a friend are deserving of an award and no one has given one to you yet then email me at sayhitochristy(at)hotmail.com and tell me about your website. And the nominees are: (drum roll pleeeeze!) 1. Jackie, missionary in Paraguay, for bucking the system (maybe she's a leetle stubborn too!) and having her baby at home after a previous c-section. I admire her and her "mid-husband", Brian. They are awesome and their baby is a doll! 2. Julia, a Venezuelan university student, who isn't afraid to "tell it like it is" in "times like these." Venezuelans are the greatest!

I just have not been able to get around to blogging lately. Half of my family is at teen camp, and they're having a grand time! They will be back, the LORD willing, tomorrow. (That means a lot of laundry, huh?! =) ) Seth, the babies, and I have stayed busy. Aaron has started reading this week~he's just a bit ambitious...he wants to start reading his Bible YESTERDAY! He's very much like his oldest brother!!!! Sophie is in "school" too, but she's WAY more relaxed about it. Seth is just a wee bit bored without Ethan and Morgan around. We have been trying to get everybody into doing "routines", and to Seth, they are a real BOTHER. (I think he sees the benefits, though~heehee!) The babies love the routines they drew, and it isn't usually too hard to get them in there to "read" and do them. Matt came home yesterday from camp for church last night. We thought about going back to spend the day at camp today, but I think we've decided to all go to the entire week of camp next week. (Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but I really do LOVE camp!) Anyhoo, that is just a little of what has been going on this week. I haven't posted pics in forever. Maybe I'll have some after camp next week! Have a great Friday tomorrow!
