look what came in the mail!

Along with a pretty sweet key chain and car decal.  And let me tell you, any university that sends you a key chain and car decal is a pretty cool university.

Anyway.

This Friday, we're leaving for a Chapel Next retreat at Lakeview, which we're all excited about.  This weekend is a four-day weekend for Alan.  Aside from the sessions (the retreat focuses on family), C has repeatedly mentioned that he can't wait to try the zip line, and T is excited about "the blob."

We're hoping to stop by UMHB on the way to Lakeview so I can register for the fall semester.  I am so excited to start grad classes (I can't wait to buy books!) and be back on a college campus.

C found a sea urchin fossil near the house yesterday.  We went fossil hunting and the boys returned with a rucksack full of fossilized seashells--we're going to put some of them in our aquarium.
