Well, we have returned from Washington, Steve has had his last day at work and is starting school tomorrow. Only 2 more years, Hooray! (Is it just me, or have I been here forever?) Steve's beard is now gone. I might have been the only one who liked it, but Steve and I were sad to see it go. Maybe next summer he can give it another shot. Lizzy is learning how to interact with other children again after spending so long with adults. Sharing is starting to be a problem, but I've heard that is a normal developmental thing. The neighbor boy (Lizzy's boyfriend, Adney) now comes over about 3 times a week, so that can't help but improve her social skills. I am keeping myself busy learning to quilt (who'd have thunk that I would enjoy that?) and reading. I just read that vampire series, and Steve says I am addicted. I can't wait for the movie to come out now. Anyway, that is about it for the Cowling family this week. If there is nothing exciting again next week, I'll just make something up.
