Hello!

Brownie Bear came to visit from Ms. Beth's.

Emma and her new baby doll-bribery for staying all night at a sleepover!
My sweet little Indy!
Owen finished his 550 piece Lego set! Got to love those meds!
Our tiger scout!

Hey everybody. I know it's been a while. It has been a crazy week. Between soccer, back to school night, and sleepovers, it seems like it's been a very quick week. Nothing too exciting to write about. Owen joined cub scouts and is an official tiger scout. He had his first pack meeting Friday night and he had a blast. Jonathan was a long time scout, so he's very excited for Owen to make some fun memories like he did. Jonathan even volunteered to help with the troop. Not only will we be selling peanuts and girl scout cookies, but now we'll add popcorn to the list! Ug!

Emma went to a birthday party and had a sleepover at her friends house. We're very proud of her. She was having some serious separation anxiety issues and was having difficulty leaving us to go to friends houses. She was a little hesitant, but she made it through the night and had a great time. We're still going to counseling, so hopefully it will continue to help. Logan is still obsessed with Indiana Jones. As Jonathan points out - Logan is much more obsessed than Jonathan was with Star Wars at that age. Oh geez...is that possible?!? We got him his Indy costume for Halloween and he wore it all weekend. He walks around with his fake whip, singing the theme song - all the time!!! As soon as I can find the cord to the video camera, I will try to download it. It is too funny!

Owen has been busy with soccer. We're having a difficult time with his coach - not showing up on time (or at all), so I have been out there trying to help. Go ahead and laugh...me helping with soccer. It is a joke. Fortunately, there have been a few dads (and moms) willing to help out, so it's the blind leading the blind. Oh well. The boys are having fun - although I am getting tired of watching them get their butts kicked every week!!!

That's about it from the McElwain household. Until next time....
