We broke down and bought a laptop. I spent yesterday evening and this morning figuring it out and apparently a few things have changed since we bought our old computer almost 6 years ago. I know, it was time. Actually, most of it I can figure out, but I'm having a little trouble with getting my pictures off my camera and onto the computer. I can get them on the computer, but I can't figure out how to organize them the way that I want to. It'll just take some time, I'm sure.
Here are the things you've missed around the McCall household since I've been gone:
* Phoebe has learned to move her time-out chair all around the house as her own personal step-stool. Now she can get into almost anything! Yippee.
* I went to Sam's today and bought 6 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.67 a lb. I also bought 18 rolls of paper towels, a delicious flat of raspberries, a case of Diet Cokes (I have a serious Diet Coke addiction), and two bakery loaves of sourdough bread. I was tempted, but did not buy, a 24 oz. container of hummus, a giant bag of pretzel chips, a big bunch of asparagus, and two large bags of Multi-Grain Cheerios.
* I have caught up on my laundry and vacuumed my closet. I've also swept the floor multiple times everyday each day this week. I've decided we need a dog.
* Eli informed me that he was going to learn how to read this summer so he didn't have to go to school everyday next year. I think kindergarten is going to come as a huge shock.
* Brad brought home some Amish Friendship Bread so I've been trying to remember to "Mush the bag" at least once a day and keep track of which of the 14 days of instructions I'm actually on. I only do this because I love my husband so much and he loves this bread so much. If it were up to me, I'd chunk the whole thing in the trash. Seriously, Amish Friendship Bread is a testament to True Love.
* I have become the assistant coach for Eli's preschool soccer team. I'll post more on this later because I'm sure that most of you who know me well have laughed out loud. My parents' both did.
While I know that so many of you are extremely jealous of the high-profile, exciting life that I lead, please know that it is not all that's it's cracked up to be. We are just like all the rest of you and our family is just as normal as yours. :)

Also, I am with your parents...I laughed outloud when I read you would be the assitant coach for Eli's soccor team. You will have so much fun with all those boys! Not a Jordan I have ever seen...ha! LOVE you tons!
Love your life, wish we lived next door so we could share more of our lives together! :) Seriously, I would love to be your neighbors! It would be so fun! Glad we have blogs now!
First, I was shocked to hear that you were the assistant coach but I phrased it as you were the "relationship coach" not the "teach the soccer" part. Still funny though....you need a tee that has your title on it!
Second, I LOVE buying stuff in bulk at Sam's, but it takes Shane and I a lot longer to go through stuff!
Good luck with your new computer...I will be waiting for pics!
Talk to you later!
I'm still giggling about the thought of you as an asst. soccer coach. Please post a video/picture of you in action soon! Who knows? You may have some secret soccer skills stashed away!
Really.... Assistant coach! Very funny! You need some warm up pants and a whistle and you are set! You will be great!

Jeanette got recruited to be an "assistant" coach when Janaye was 8. Before the season started, the coach left. For the next 3 years, Jeanette "coached" girls' soccer and, to my knowledge, never personally touched a ball. It can be done.
