I'm an aunt - again!

My brother and sister-in-law had their second baby on Saturday - another boy!! We are all excited! Her first birth - 5 years ago - was a very difficult birth. The baby was 10 pounds and she had a really hard time. This time, though, the baby was 7 1/2 pounds and it was a much shorter and more manageable birth. The kids are pretty excited about a new cousin, as well.

I'm not going to write much right now because we are pretty busy, and because our internet connection is freaking out. I hope that this gets posted without too much trouble. The tech decided that it is on the ISPs end of things, so they are coming out on Monday to try to sort out the problem.

In the meantime, Ga'Hoole Girl turned 12 yesterday. Her party is this weekend - she and her friends are going to paint her bedroom. EEK! We also bought some fabric to make a curtain around her bed, so I'll be working on that. She is also signed up for the 4H clothing revue next week. She has cut out her PJs that she's making, but still has to sew them. She also has to purchase an outfit for her Consumer Savvy project. We are off to Goodwill later today for that.

Wild Man has been fussing about reading lessons and the fact that I'm making him do reading and math every day. But, he keeps asking for help in reading the dialogue on his video games, so he has some motivation to keep moving on the reading, at least.

More later. Hopefully, the computer stuff will be resolved very soon.
