Hello everyone,

We're sorry that we haven't written much in the past week. We're still doing school and unpacking.

Daddy did buy us a membership to an archery club so we get access to a shooting range. We went last week and had a great time. The slider on Daddy's bow broke, and Mom's arrows have yet to be unpacked, so it was a kid only shoot.

We picked up a great deal on Craigslist for an Ikea bed that can also be used for a couch. It's in the 'Great Room' right now and as it is able to fold out into a full sized bed, it will be ready when any of you come out to visit us.

We bought Holden a new bed on Craigslist. It's a loft bed with a desk, bookself and dresser underneath. He loves it, and at this moment has hung a blanket over the side of the bed to make a fort and has his 'mad scientist's' lab hidden beneath. He is hard at work on his secret project. The tools of his trade are an exact-o knife, an army hat, a magnifying glass and a sock. The magnifying glass and sock are both tucked carefully into the front of the hat, one covering each eye.

Seth is working on putting together a box of secret and rare treasures. He has quite a few marbles and a few keys that are his prized possessions.

Ian is also working on a secret project. It is so secret, no one knows what it is.

Jacey's not working on anything secret. She is still studying for the CLEP test and is becoming more hopeful that she will pass the more she studies.

Grandma and Grandpa Garber are coming in on Friday and the kids can't wait.

It has stopped raining almost altogether now, and though it did rain alittle bit yesterday, the grass is turning brown and it has been hot.

We miss you all SO much!

Your Friends,

-The Daughtons-
