So what's going on with the kids?

Devin comes home on Saturday!!! Paige is most excited, but we all miss Devin! He's been at Grandpa Casto's since our vacation ended on July 21st. We'll get up early Saturday and drive to Huntington, West Virginia where we'll spend the afternoon with family friends as well as Grandma and Grandpa before coming back home. Devin has had a great time going fishing, to the lake, to festivals and fairs, and more with Grandpa. When Devin comes home we'll start preparing for school and his entry into HIGH SCHOOL!

Kayleigh has designed and made two more shirts all on her own. She and her Dad sat down today and started looking at design schools across the country. They found a 2 week summer camp in Washington DC that she'd like to attend next year to start to learn more. She really is talented!! Kayleigh has made us very proud this summer. She spent a week at church teaching the 3/4 year olds all about Gods word and the Bible. She had such a good time and the counselors at church tell us she did a great job. Kayleigh has decided to jump into faith formation classes and will receive First Communion and Confirmation in the springtime.

Chase spends most of his afternoons with his best friend, Dylan. His family moved into our neighborhood this winter and it's been a blessing. Chase loves to spend time with Dylan playing basketball and video games! Chase made a huge decision recently - to prepare for First Communion. He'll start faith formation classes on September the 4th and will receive his first sacraments in the spring with Kayleigh.

Paige is always a little spitfire! Just this morning we spent two hours at the doctor while they pulled out a 1/8 inch styrofoam ball that she had put in her ear!! She was such a trooper - layed very still while they dug and dug until they got it. Paige starts pre-k August 27th at Child Time Preschool here in Winston. She's very excited about meeting new friends.

That's about it for now!
