Alex's Audition

Sunday saw Alex and Mr.Smith off to Atlanta for Alex's audition. As usual he looked really great! He did good, recited his Pepsi advert ok, but then found out he has to wait two or three months to find out if he has it or not, which is apparently quite normal. So he has to go home forget about this one and keep going on other auditions until he hears. Meanwhile he has a class next Saturday. He is loving it!!!

Week one of Princess!

Well, all I can say is that she is a minx!!
I joined the Omni gym this week, and got a personal trainer who I hope will kick my butt into shape! He is from Wales and lived about 3 miles away from Lannie and Nige! Small world again! Spinning classes are great fun too!
Jordan and Ethan both had their fire drill and then a lock-down drill at school. The teacher tactfully said it was an emergency drill. Doors lock. blinds come down, everyone lies on the floor. Then as Ethan's seven year old classmate told him, " its incase a bad guy breaks into school with a gun!"
I suppose at least they know what to do!!
And least their front doors lock! Alex's school is open to all, while you have to buzz the intercom to get into the elementary school!

 
 
Afternoon at Susan and Larry's

Princess's first day

 
 
 
Princess arrived this morning. We love her! She is a brilliant dog, only six months and so calm, no nipping or chewing...so far! We took her to see our frinds Sue and Larry and their dog Snapper.
Then we spent the afternoon at their pool, with Princess of course.

Checking out Princess at the dog adoption day at our local Petco store!

First day back at school

Gutted! The boys have started back at school. Mr Smith dropped Alex off at middle school just after 7am!
I took Jordan and Ethan back to elementary school, and they were both very big and said bye at the door and didn't want me to walk them in.
Redundant I came back home. I can't believe our lovely long summer holiday is over. We have had 87 days off. Spent every minute together, had some wonderful visitors come and see us, and a great trip back to England, and been to the pool every chance we got. I hate its over and school is back in.
Good news is that our visit with Princess went great and she comes to us on Friday. I'm having problems getting pictures on my blog, but I will keep trying!
