Fall 08

This year seems to have gone so fast - such a cliche, but so true for me this year! I feel like our school year has just started, but I've suddenly realized that I need to begin thinking about Christmas shopping! Lauren is almost 8, and is so excited about the approaching Christmas season and her birthday. She has already begun making her mental gift wish list! :) We are borrowing a go-kart from some cousins right now, and Lauren is having a blast with it. She thinks that she might want to drive a Jr. Dragster, and so we are "test-driving" the idea. She needs to start learning how to control a vehicle if she wants to race! A big exciting thing for us this fall is that Stuart set the National Record in his racing class. It was an awesome weekend, racing in KC! It's pretty cool to open National Dragster every week and see his name listed as the record holder - and he put my name and L's name in on his "thank-you" line, so we get to see our names, too!
L is trying to decide if she wants to try out for the school Christmas program. She would do a great job, I think, but the idea is making her pretty nervous! She changes her mind about every 30 minutes - yes, I can do it, no, I'm too nervous...
