One paragraph for each child and pictures for three of them

Other Jim: OJ got his "track" assignment for BYU-I. He was assigned Winter/Spring. That means he has three extra months to save money for college. He's not quite happy about it, but I'm sure he'll get used to the idea eventually. It's kind of a good thing for Jim; we were a bit worried about taking OJ to Idaho in early Sept because that's a difficult time for Jim to take off work--the bosses said no vacations late August/early September (at least that's what I heard when Jim was talking. Maybe I heard wrong. You can quote me on it, but be prepared in case Jim says that he didn't say that.)

Paul: He's being targeted by OJ and his Nerf dart gun.

So he decides to protect himself. With a footstool? Hey, it was handy.
Heeheehee! This reminds me of my brothers who used to use the same kind of footstools as a football helmets. I had a good laugh. In other Paul news, his displastic mole, which was removed last August, grew back and he had to have it removed again, this time resulting in three stitches. And I have to provide the wound care for it, since a) Paul can't quite reach back there, b) Jim gets woozy when looking at stuff like this and c) Paul inherited Jim's tendency towards wooziness and almost passed out after the procedure.

Hayley: Band concert picture! (and just ignore the kid behind her) Sigh. She's looking so teenagerish! Where has the little Cheeky-Pie gone?

Matt: I was sitting with him on the couch watching him irritate the cat and I spied something green on his knee.I asked him what it was and he got embarrassed and started laughing. He told me that his pants had developed a small hole and he wanted to patch it up. So that's his patch. It's very loosely sewed on, but I had to laugh that he would take such initiative to "save" a pair of favorite jeans.
