9-7-06 POW

Hello all, we're back and as promised..... a shorter POW.

This week is truly a treat for all of you: you get to see a picture of Sidney's new boyfriend. Oh, I've been corrected: he's not new -- they've been going out a whole week, so that takes him out of the "new" category. His name is Matthew and he lives around the corner from us. He's in 8th grade, plays football and basketball and is VERY nice. Sidney asked me the other day what it was I liked about Matthew. My answer? "He smiles a lot and is not afraid to talk to me". Some other slow week I'll have to tell you about boyfriend #2 who only lasted only a week or so this summer. His name was Luke. And.....we all remember boyfriend #1 from January's POW. His name was Weston, but I teased her and refered to him as Weldon. Soon, she was calling him Weldon. Ha!! They broke up (online) several times over the 4 months they were together and finally threw in the towel sometime in February. My plan worked. I took his picture and made him disappear! I hope it doesn't happen to Matthew. Funny, I never took a picture of Luke and he went away.....

School is getting fun. Remember the math problems I used to share with you from Sid's math class? Those were nothing compared to this year. Yikes! If I can find one of her worksheets online I'll send you the link one of these times. I tell you, Geometry was a LONG time ago and I'm still having to scrape the cobwebs out of the 'ole memory banks to help her. It's just a matter of time before I give up!


One last picture before I let you go. This one was taken at Mimi's house (Dean's mom - Fran) over the summer when they flew to Arkansas for a visit. Sidney likes this picture because she's taller than Mimi in it and Alyssa likes it because her hair is still long. I like it because everyone has a nice smile!! Papa John didn't get to be in it, though. I'm guessing it's because he was BEHIND the camera!

That's all for now. I hope you all have a good week and we'll talk to you again soon.

Take care,
Amy and the girls
