For those of you I haven't talked to in years (and also those that weren't listening) here's the scoop

We are in Spring TX (a Houston suburb).
Kevin has been a chain store Pharmacist for the last 3 or four years with a brief stint at a mail order pharmacy. Yesterday we drove to Waco TX (not far from the "Western White House" in Crawford), where he has accepted a job in a hospital Pharmacy. It will allow him to do some clinical work and he is very excited about that. The rest of us are staying in Spring for at least the school year while he commutes (2 1/2 hours means he'll stay there during the week) and that should give us plenty of time to figure out what we want to do for the summer. How does living on a houseboat on lake Waco sound? So one month and 3 four wheelers later his career as craigslist addict takes a back seat to Pharmacy once again. photos pending
Ginger I am supposed to be home by myself for the first time in 24 years of raising children because Brett just started Kindergarten. But Kevin has been here with me and now Vicci joins the ranks of the unemployed so I'll let you know how that is when I get there! I spend lots of time by the pool gardening and in my laundry room washing, folding, mending and listening to talk radio. I have taken up motorcycles and enjoy riding my 250 Honda Rebel to do errands and occasionally pick up or deliver kids.
Vicci 24 was loving her job as a leasing agent and activities director at a seniors only apartment complex until corporate decided to hire the manager from @*##. She is living at home and all of us are enjoying her talents in the kitchen. She got the ultimate compliment on her updated version of Nana's chicken roll recipe (improved with the addition of ----Vegetables!) from Ty "Mom these are better than yours!"
Danielle 20 is at BYU for her second year. She is studying English and expects to be a teacher. Between her job at Legends grill and a demanding load of classes she and her room mate Julia manage to squeeze in a little fun. We had a great time with her this summer and she misses Texas more and more as the temperature in Utah drops.
Rori 17 is sneaking up on her senior year at Klein Collins. She followed Danielle into the Cosmetology program and especially loves coloring (both hair and coloring books). This summer she spent time lifeguarding at a local waterpark and is now a tutor at Jr Kumon. She plans on attending a local junior college (in other words NOT leaving Texas).
Ty 14 has just started High School! He is on the debate team and also taking Latin. He still loves to take things apart and has been a huge help to his Dad in all handyman and mechanic activities. His love for reading has not been abated. He reads and re-reads all his fantasy favorites (currently Twilight). After the storm he and his cousins spent a couple of days doing volunteer clean-up in the neighborhood followed by a few days running a debris removal business.
Braelynd 7 is in the 2nd grade. She thoroughly enjoyed the week+ off from school. She spends as much time as she can get outside playing with friends.
Brett 5 began Kindergarten this year. he loves school, ice cream, swords and is lots of fun.
