Hey, Labor day-fall is officially here now?

Please, forgive me for a very long break from  blogging.  I do try to apologize every time for my posts become more rare, but unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem.  No matter how hard I try to squeeze in some happenings in our life, they end up on the bottom of my "to do" list.
Today is the last day of a really nice and long Labor day weekend and I thought I'd get done a lot more than I actually got done.  With only one child at home (hubby took 2 of ours plus our exchange student, more on Regina below, one gone with the youth group to Branson, MS) I should have had plenty of time to get a huge chunck of my behindness crossed off my to do list.  But, unfortunately, with the change of weather and barometric pressure a huge headache hung out with me for the last couple of days.  I don't deal well with pain, so I'm just beat.  I still have time to get new biz cards ordered (the ones I so diligently designed with the help of a friend can only be ordered via one website and I can't afford it at this point in my real estate career) and work on my website. I had a buyer I've worked this Labor day weekend and I pray we can find this family the home they need.
The weather has cooled off considerably and I am openly hopeful the hot days are behind!  It's been overcast the entire Labor day weekend, maybe because of the tropical storm hitting Louisiana.  All we got though was a tiny sprinkle.
As promised above about Regina, our foreign exchange high school student.
On August 8 a new member of our family joined us from Sterlimatak, Russia.  Regina is a senior at the local High School and will live with us till the end of the school year-May 2012. Now we have a sophomore and a senior!!! The junior high and the elementary kiddos are doing great enjoying staying in the same school this year, with their best friends in the same class, the request was honored. Here are a few pics. The last two were on the first day of school with our oldest daughter, who shares gracefully her bedroom with Regina (glad we got a new bunk bed just a couple of moths ago).
 Hope y'all had a relaxing Labor day.  I sure did!  Just a few more hours and my entire family will be back home.  Backpacks and dirty clothes will come out of the vehicles.  School stuff to get ready for tomorrow.  School lunches to pack, dentist and ortho appointments to keep track of, soccer and football practices, art clubs and photo clubs etc.  Life goes on :)
