Update:

Well, I lost my internet access Tuesday morning (long sad story involving the premature demise of a very expensive computer)...so, my posting will probably be spotty at best for a while now.

Tuesday evening, Rayna had her kindergarten musical ("The Three Piggy Opera") in which she had a major speaking role. She did terrific! Delivered her lines with the grace and poise of a pro, and them all memorized perfectly! It just blew my mind to see how MANY kindergarteners there are in her school. I knew there were 200 of them, but knowing and SEEING are two different things! It was a SEA of kindergarteners all up there on stage together, totally filling the huge auditorium's stage. (They put their musical on at the high school, which has a really nice, big auditorium.)

Meanwhile, Grant and Darcy were in Springfield. Grant was at band practice and Darcy was playing her second soccer game of the season. The team Bolivar played this week was much better than last week's (when they won 18 to zip!)...this time they lost (1-2). Darcy was pretty disappointed. But, I pointed out to her that her team MADE the other team work really hard for the win...and there was only one point difference between them.

Doug's first soccer game is this Saturday. They have only had one practice so far (due to rain)...so, I am a bit nervous about the upcoming game. I have my doubts whether Doug actually UNDERSTANDS all the rules of the game, yet...and he will be playing the entire game since they are short of players. I hate it that I will miss his first game, but we already had the Open House scheduled and ADVERTISED long before we found out he would be having a game on that day.

This will be the last Open House we will hold. If we don't get an acceptable offer on the house by the end of next week, we are turning it over to a realtor and not fooling with it anymore, ourselves. We have a realtor lined up that seems really easy and pleasant to work with...and I think she will market the home pretty aggressively. Too bad the housing market has been so horrible for the past year. (sigh)...
