Family Updates...

We know it's been forever since we last blogged, so just some quick updates as we move into the fall:

Crystal is on the path to potty-power: in the last couple of days she's started to use the potty by herself. Ah yes... we can't wait for the day to retire her diapers!

Connie is back to school following labour-day weekend. She has a 2 course load this semester, which should prove pretty challenging. I (Chris) have been accepted to the regular-draft of the 4-year liberal arts program at Waterloo (i.e. I'm off probation). I also got word this week that the admissions committee at UW gave me some credits from Conestoga (4 courses), so I'm a 2nd year student now (it may be 2nd year, but I'll probably be at this for the next 10 years..)!

Ferol is off to Fanshawe College in London on Labour Day weekend, and Richard starts grade 11 too.

Mom and Jim were up for 2 weeks from Arkansas, and spent probably 90% of their time in the basement installing a bathroom! The major infrastructure is done, and I'll finish the remaining details (some drywall, tiling, etc.). Pics soon!
