brace face

This summer is flying by, but we're not up to too much. Jon and I are working like crazy (as always) and the girls are enjoying their summer for a few more weeks. Yikes! School will start before we know it and our busy lives will just get busier!

Anne Pea has been hanging out with so many of her friends. She got her wretched Herbst appliance out of her mouth (a little linky-poo for your convenience). Next step is braces!

Speaking of braces, we have a new brace face in the house! Abby Pea got braces on and actually kind of likes them. I think the novelty will wear off soon!

They're really cute and she has bright pink bands on them.

Other than mouth-metal news, we don't have a lot. Which may be a good thing! 

King Pea is liking his job, even though it has taken him to Irving every day for about the last month. We supposedly only have a week left of it, but let me tell you, Queen Pea is not a happy camper with this situation! Especially when the restaurant he is supposed to be at is only about three minutes from our house. Three minutes vs. an hour? An hour on a good day? Yeah, he knows my displeasure because I remind him of it about every fifteen minutes! Pray for our sanity and pray this is the last week of this mess stress!

Sweet G.G. is hanging in there like a real trooper! I will have better news on her soon. King Pea and Anne Pea are going to see her on Monday and Tuesday this week. 

Abby Pea has tryouts for the elite squad for her drill team this week. It's a group of the really good dancers that get to do special things within the Marquettes. Which means momma and daddy will be shelling out more dough! Abby's on the hunt for a part time job to help with some of the cost of her drill team endeavors. She's just about old enough to start helping out! 

Driver's ed is over and the practice driving has begun. She does very well, but I feel like I need a drink after every one of our sessions! Nothing wracks my nerves like my baby behind the wheel!

Once school starts, the craziness will resume! We are looking forward to Friday night football games complete with Marquette performances (you will see pics). Also, early Saturday morning cross country meets will soon start up again (you will see pics of that too). I love fall and can't wait for the craziness to begin! I wish it would never end. 

How do I make these peas stop growing up? I can't think about it because it makes me cry. Yet, I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything in the world! Our blessings truly abound!
