What a shocker X 2!

What a shocker! The girls and I were having a "Survivor" party with a hot pizza. Except I messed up the tape and it wasn't there---argh! Anyway the bit of the news we heard/saw had H's Middle School on it. They were telling about H's Soc. Studies teacher who had been arrested for 17 counts of child porn and destroying evidence. We couldn't believe it. Mr R was so nice, so funny and seemingly competent. So SAD, SAD, SAD!!! Mark came home and said his boss called him for the cd with the staff pictures on them, so they could supply a picture to the tv. SO SAD!! Hannah has a friend spending the night and they are both upset and shocked. Just can't believe it.

Then we found out the our MU Coach Quin quit today. We figured it was coming, but just yesterday he had a big thing about "never quitting" his team. In light of our middle school drama, it really is meaningless. But we began as Coach Quin fans, who wouldn't chose seeing him on the Tiger's bench after 40 years of looking at Norm Stewart. We had the hottest coach in the NCAA, too bad he couldn't "getter done."

On a lighter note, Kat's undefeated team plays their last game tomorrow. Then we begin the championship tourney. I did check to make sure that the finals won't be the same weekend as Mark's folks 50th bash. Jess is missing 3 functions for the anniversary, H is missing a Band festival, so Kat missing the final would have been tough, but not to worry. We will all be at the reception to smile and shake hands, eat cake and celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss! :) There will be other functions and other band festivals, but we can't repeat this celebration, so thanks, girls, for your cooperation, we love ya!!


Will be tuning in to Torino!! Love the Olympics!! A different drama than I'm used to witnessing!! :)

Oh my goodness!!! How are y'all doing with all the scandal?! You always think that you know people and they "seem so nice"...whatever. It sure makes you wonder how to keep them safe. *sigh* Hugs to all of you...especially Hannah...so sorry you are having to deal with something like this.

We are working away on the reception...I will email with a couple of questions that we all need to decide on--SOON. Did you get the CD of pics? I hope it made it in one piece and that the CD works...I just realized I didn't even check it to make sure! By the way--I got Jess's page...cute and funny, but also very sweet. She made Amy and me smile and Scott even commented about how nice her words were! Thought you would like to know. :o)

Gotta run now and do some lunch. So sorry to hear all your drama...but watch some Olympics and try to block it out for now...

Love y'all!

JK---I got the CD and it works. I haven't got the first one to work yet. May have my techie help. I have Jess' pix for her page. Will send it when I send ours--hopefully on Monday. Please encourage Amy to send me some pix of Joshua with the folks. Do you think Areva or Laurel has any pix to share? Will talk soon. YIKES!!

Thanks for all you do!
LOVE YA!

sorry to hear about hannah's teacher. its always hard to learn bad things about people you know and trust. just thankful nothing bad happened to any of your girls or their friends.

About pictures --- don't count on any more pictures from me. If I do manange to send some along count it as a blessing. We are so pressed for time right now I'm lucky to get anything extra done. And, we have always been really bad at taking pictures. We don't have ANY from the past 4-5 years except some Joe took in South America. I've asked the kids for some but not putting much hope in that either.
