Well that summer went way too fast. I had all these plans and am still trying to process that, it's done, over...no more plans, you missed your chance. Wow, it's just crazy!
Fair was fun, the kids did well on their 4-H projects. Jade made a babysitting kit for toddlers that got a purple, her garden was a flop with the hail so she made a poster about that and received a purple, her muffins got a red and she was pretty disappointed but I told her that was good for her first year in 4-H. Tanner made an electrical thinga-ma-bobber that he got a blue on. He would have received a purple but he didn't file the nails off at the bottom. Oh well. He learned something so that's what's important.
The kids of course rode the rides every night. I went for a little while on Thursday and babysat Cole. I won tickets to 38 Special and let the kids go for us. What's that they say about if it's too loud you're too old. Hmmm, I must be old then. It's just not the same since I don't have my Lisa to take tickets with. Dad came down Saturday so we watched the parade and ate with him. Jade, Sarah and Sydnie were in a dance class this summer and they performed on Saturday, it was SO cute! Emily & Mollie Ringleman were their teachers and they did a great job! Jim & I were plagued by allergies so that pretty much ended our fair time.
School started right away on Tuesday and so we're off! Tanner's enjoying 8th grade so far, he's had homework every night but he doesn't complain. Of course football hasn't started yet either. :) That starts next week. Jade, my baby is in 4th grade :( Can't believe it! She has some great teachers this year though and she is most excited about the fact that she has a locker this year. Pretty cool.
Dustin's car had a little mishap so Jim's been working on that. Jamie gets bigger and bigger as the time quickly approaches for our new little girl?boy? to arrive. Haven't heard much from Janae since they got moved in, just busy with school. Drew is in his junior year and gets taller all the time.
That's about it for the Harris Happenings for now.

Thanks for the update, Jen! It does seem odd that the summer is over. Your kids did awesome in 4-H! I'm so happy they are doing well. In my mind, I sometimes still see Tanner running around in the "Bibleman" costume we used to have and Jade just getting smothered with love from the kids. I remember Ally crying because she didn't understand why you always had to come and get her. :)
