Busy Weekends!






Haven't had much of a chance to post anything new in a couple of weeks. Conley is working hard on his basketball. Savannah has started taking classes with the TAG program (talented and gifted) in our surrounding area. She catches a bus on Saturday mornings at 8 am and goes to Morristown to the community college for elective classes. She just finished a class on Fashion Design. She learned about textiles and fabrics, and also did a few craft projects. They had to create an outfit using newspaper and one from their group had to model it. She also had to wear and model a favorite outfit of her own. Of course- she wore jeans! But she dressed them up by wearing a pretty black sweater and ballet flats. She also accessorized with jewelry and a silver bag from her Aunt Becca! Conley's team has lost their last two games! That first loss was very difficult for him! The second wasn't quite so bad. They need to work on their defense! They tend to just let the other team control the ball without trying to take it. They are great at offense though! Savannah came home today saying her teacher asked if she would be willing to write for their school newspaper if it gets approved. She is really excited about that! Gregg and I spent Friday adding insulation to the attic spaces. Gregg actually found the true problem while up there. Our not-so-bright A/C guy didn't tape one of the vents securely so we've been heating our attic instead of the 2nd floor! We didn't do that great of a job insulating the first time, but now it is rated R-60 (the highest rating). Hopefully that solves the problem! Well, just thought I'd update while I had a moment. Hope everyone is doing great!

I'm sure the bugs in the attic appreciated the heat! lol Gosh, what a pain. I'm so glad Savannah is enjoying her classes. Her outfit sounds cute! Glad Conley is still enjoying basketball, but tell him to get in there and take the ball away. This is one time that it's okay to take something without asking first! lol
