Less Than Half This Long Till Christmas Again!!! :O

Hello guys! (Why do I always start posts that way?) Anyway, this morning, our relatives from NY (who were down here all weekend) went home. We had alot of fun with them! I don't know about you all, but it seems like the year is just whizzing by! I mean, we haven't done that much out of the ordinary, but I really can't believe we are more than half of the way done with an entire year! Seems kind of weird to think that months can pass this quickly! But there we are! Here is a sort of update on our family, generally, and specifically-
Daniel- home from iGovern camp-counseling, working on the documentary with the Tates, working with Dad, teaching a guitar student
Me- finishing up my math book, doing some office-managing, turning 18 in 13 days, writing/painting a book for Grace, editing, and sending off a book to a publisher in hopes of being accepted
Sarah- trying to get rid of a watch tan, becoming the reigning "ninja" champ., taking care of our chickens, working every Sat. with Dad these past 3 weeks, getting her hair cut for the first time in...years.
Leah- waking each morning at 6:30 to milk Daisy, turning 13 in Aug., playing soccer with Benjamin
Anna- milking Daisy in the evenings, catching toads for me, playing with Emily, cementing allies among youngest members of the T. family
Benjamin- living the life of a country-boy, playing "world-cup" soccer with the Walker boys
Abby- Becoming fast friends with Bethany, playing spies, learning to dominate the Walker's dog Windsor
Gracie- being 3. Swooning when we play "Ten minutes ago I met you" on the c.d. player, reading, playing "Sickness", watching clips from musicals on youtube with me or Sarah, dancing while we sing "I know you" or "Ten minutes ago", playing dolls, having teaparties, etc.
Family in General- gardening, berry-picking, Dad working very hard, Mama helping organize meals for a woman at church who just had a baby, hosting company, getting ready for 3 oldest girls turning 18,16,and 13 this summer, surviving the blazing inferno around here, running a household, going to music theory class with Dad, hosting church each Sunday, putting up food from the garden, making multiple trips a week to the feedstore for our ravenous chickens, etc.....We are one busy family right now! So that is why our posts haven't been quite so exciting or interesting as we could wish! It is as much as we can do to get normal life done- not much room for adventures at this moment in time! ;) Ya'll have a great Wednesday! -Rachel
