Happy Sweet 16 Jane!

We love you!

August or September

It's a waiting game here. Little Ella Mae is not in any hurry to come to earth. As it is right now she has missed her Uncle Jake's birthday, she'll probably miss her second cousin Jane's birthday (Happy Sweet 16 Jane!), and she might miss August all together. Alas one little problem...I have an August birthstone ring for my "Grandma" necklace. Where can I get a September one if needed? Michelle is scheduled to be induced next Wednesday night. Maybe Ella Mae will share her birthday with my friend Laureen or "Big" Uncle Jacob (it's better than "Older" right Jacob? or should I have said "Iowa" Uncle Jacob?)?

Flying High

And here's the birthday boy flying high on his birthday trip to Canyon Lake. Pretty good for someone who's been wakeboarding how many times now? Only about five!!! Way to go Jake!

Guess who's 16?

Yep...It's Jacob. And here he is in his dream car an Austen Martin. It's fitting that Jake shares his birthday with Sean Connery, a former James Bond, huh? Did he actually get to drive the car you ask? Only in his dreams...he got to rev the engine with the parking brake on though. It was worth it he says! Happy Birthday Jake!

Where, oh where did the Chadwicks go?

I'm not lost or lazy just preoccupied. My first excuse was YW Camp on the Horizon and then the Jonesies moved in. Who wouldn't want to play with Emerson 24-7? We tried, yes I said tried, to have a family vacation at Lake Powell but some how the boat found a submerged object that ended the trip less than 24 hours before it started. Got a cool picture of Mark though huh? Next came the overwhelming obligation to figure out how to be a high school band treasurer. Who voted me in??? Before you realize it school has started and, Wow, where did the summer go? I'm here, mostly. You'll probably find me stuck at the computer crunching numbers, playing with Emerson, or sleeping. That happens at the oddest times these days. How come I can't sleep at 1:30am???
