Old pics- revisited

We've had such a busy week! Monday was labor day and we saw out-of-town relatives while trying to stay dry from the crazy tropical storm! Tuesday we stayed home but Wednesday I took Beth to the doctor. She's been having chronic stomach pains for months now, despite some tests run in March that came back normal. He checked her out and said her stomach sounded "angry" from whatever she'd eaten at lunch- milk! So I asked them to draw some blood to check for food sensitivities, and I'm hoping we'll get those results back today. Wednesday afternoon we had some more out of town visitors- Luke's godparents and me and Ryan's good college friends! We had a lovely visit with them, dreaming up ways to get them back into Texas- preferably in our neighborhood! They stayed the night then left the next morning to continue their "tour" of the state and visit as much family as possible! After they left I took the kids out shopping because Luke's shoes are too small again (I just bought these!) and he's always complaining they're too tight. I think they fit him fine but, welll, when he's complaining and refuses to wear them, it means it's time for new shoes! Today we had our first home school group's monthly meeting, and boy was it HOT! Beth refused to participate because she was a huge grump, so I'm really hoping next time is a little cooler!

I don't have my pics from the week uploaded yet, so here are some old ones that I've recently modified using my favorite new website, picnik.com.
