Frantic Preparations

I'm updating today because things are about the get nutty around here.  Why is that, you ask?? We're going to have a houseful by the time Friday night rolls around.  My mom, dad and Gram Boyd are coming in Friday evening.. Karen from Denver is also coming in for the long weekend Friday night late.  Everyone on this end is SUPER excited for our visitors.  It's going to be a crazy couple days, that is for sure.  The weather people (who actually know very little, it turns out) say that we're going to have some sun on Saturday so I think we're going to go on a cruise in Prince William Sound... maybe the AK State Fair on Sunday (don't you wish you were coming, too?!?).

School is going great for Kara.  She told me "I had a great day today, Mom" when I picked her up this afternoon (thank you, Lord!).  Clay is geared up for his "school" as well.. at least that's what he's saying.  I sort of think it might be a different story when it actually comes time for me to leave him.. (don't ask me why we're doing the clingy freak-out again all of a sudden).  

I'll leave you with a couple of shots taken mere seconds ago..

Kara diligently working on her homework.  It's hard to believe we're already to homework...(sniff)

Clay-Clay the ham.. doing his homework..which is playing and simply enjoying life, being waited on by his mother, doing "men" things w/his dad, riding his bike....he has quite the life ;)
