Summer 2008

I have been trying to start a blog for a long time and this is the very first blog for Chad & Jess Family blog. This summer has flown by! I cannot believe Corbyn is 9 months old and Elayna is
3 1/2. Alot of things are going on as always... I am working this summer at a local furniture store. Chad has many projects going on and he works very hard. On the days I work the kids go to our very good friends house down the street and they love it. It is like a second home for them.
On my days off we have been going to the library for the summer "catch the reading bug" events. Last week we saw a funny songwriter and performer and the week before we saw a juggler. This week we will see a magician. Elayna loves it and it keeps her so entertained! We like to swim in the backyard and play with our friends down the street.
We are expecting 3 baby boy cousins this summer! Chad's sister Shauna is expecting twins and has been bedridden and hospitalized for almost two months and is hanging in there amazingly. My sister, Sarah is expecting her first at the end of July. We are so excited for more cousins on both sides. On Chad's side there are 13 (plus 2) and on my side we just have my 2 kids (plus Sarah's 1).

yeah Jessica, I am so glad you started a blog. I am a big blogger. Check mine out at www.theleez.blogspot.com. Your kids are so cute. I just want to take a bite out of them. We are going to be in Tyler Aug. 7-18. maybe we could get together in Dallas somewhere. I'll totally understand if you are busy. I am very jealous of your boutique job. Plus I have really good links to a slideshow and free backgrounds.

Yea! I started a blog a while back. I am not sure if I can even get back to it. I don't remember where it is! What great pics!!! You are such a great mom! The kids are so happy.

LOVE the blog, I think everyone needs to do one. It's like your family journal.

OK, about the slide show. You need to go to www.slide.com to create a slide show. When you are finished you need to 'get code' for 'blogger'.

Then go to your blog and edit 'layout', click 'page elements'. Then click 'Add page element'. Scroll down and click on 'HTML/JavaScript'. Then another box will popup. You can name your slideshow in the 'Title' box. Then PASTE what you copied from slide.com in the 'Content' box. Then click 'SAVE'

It will add your new page element randomly on your page. You can drag it to where you want it to be on your page.
