9.15.12 Letter for Emily

This week Joey received a letter from Emily, complete with illustrations of Arthur and DW Read. I told Joe when someone sends you a letter, you should write back, so they will continue to send you mail.

This morning he finished coloring a star wars page he started for Emily several weeks ago, and he wrote a very short letter...2 sentences!  Hopefully she will enjoy the mail anyway.  It is delightful to watch any combination of our kids together.  Joey and Emily particularly miss each other when she is away at college.

It has been a nice Sunday.  I made a chicken and rice casserole with crushed potato chip topping for lunch.  Right now I have garlic bread in the oven, and am making cream of broccoli soup.  I forget the brand, but we buy it at County Fair.  There are several varieties, but the Cream of Broccoli is the best.  It is frozen, in a bag, and you simply add 8 cups of water.

The last load of laundry is in the dryer, and all clean laundry put away. We did Joey's homework this morning, so all that remains is the before bedtime reading.  Do you ever feel if you just had one more weekend day, the balance of work and home would be awesome? The main floor of the house is looking so much better over the past month, but the upstairs really needs attention! The weeknights seem to fill up...basketball, boy scouts, etc. They are just one hour activities, but by the time we get home and get Joey to bed, the day is gone.
