Isn't She Pretty?

Hi, Ya'll!

We know, we know--it has been awhile since we posted. So, here goes.

We had a very busy weekend. On Saturday, we shopped until we dropped-literally. We started out the day meeting Paul to look at some new den furniture. Paul had already been to this store to pick out something. Since we rarely sit on the couch, we told him that he had to pick it out. We must admit that he did a very good job. We got the couch, a new chair, new coffee table, and new end tables. What fun! The coffee table we have now was from the mid sixties. (Well, it was good stuff.) The old couch was pitiful. We mean PITIFUL!! When all the new things get delivered in a couple of weeks, we will take pictures.

In the meantime, we had not shown a picture of Ellen's new refrigerator. It is truly beautiful and very roomy. It actually has an ice crusher that works. (The old one never did.) Isn't she pretty?) The ice maker is working SO good, we wish we could send some of the cubes over to Kelli. We know she would make good use of them!

This week at school, we are screening more third graders. We caught one today who could barely read the top line of the eye chart. Poor baby. We have this new computer program which is a web-based program. It is really nice, but has taken a lot of work for us both to learn it. When we enter the heights and weights, the program automatically gives us the BMI and the percentile. We are amazed at how many are at risk for being underweight and overweight. We have fewer normals. Isn't that something? What is even more interesting is that when you look at the children in the abnormal category, they look "normal" in size.

One more thing.....we are happy that football season is back! Texas Tech had a blowout game on Saturday. Go Red Raiders!! Also, HOW ABOUT THOSE COWBOYS???!!! We love the fall season!

Until next time. . . . .
