Hi, Tal, Karen,

I'm fine. I have the boys with me this week. S3 is taking a nap at the moment, and S7 is messing with his Legos.

We went shopping for S7's cub scout uniform at the local provisioner. S7 has all he needs to get started. But I am now trying to figure out now how I'm supposed to sew all these patches and stuff on his uniform, let alone hem up his pants. Sewing was never my forte. I could hire a tailor to set the hem, but I'm going to be faced with the prospects of sewing a new patch every time S7 earns one. I guess I need to learn. Can sewing machines handle patches? (I'm a bit green on these matters.)

Also, somewhere in our errands yesterday I managed to lose my work phone, a Blackberry. I've been calling all the places we stopped, but most are closed on Sunday.

W didn't show for church today. Typical. But even though we were late ourselves (I nearly forgot the huge box of canned and dry goods we are donating for the local crisis ministry), I and my S's had a good time there this morning.

How's everyone this weekend? The first day of Fall today, right? It's beautiful here, and the weather is sunny and nice, almost cool. I hope everyone is doing well. I'll be checking everyone's threads for updates.
