Hello Everyone! Sorry we haven't posted for a while! We've been quite busy with school and everything else that comes along with life.
About a two and a half months ago, the White family visted. (See post A Visit With Dear Friends... I think.) During that time, we filmed a movie called Pellington Park. It is basically about some kids who go to school, form a little society (kinda) and play revolutionary war in their backyards. On July 25th 2008 it was premiered! (Red carpet and all). So, at 7:30pm the cast, their families, and a few friends gathered at "El Perdido Theatre" (correct me, ya'll, if that's wrong) to watch Pellingtom Park for the first time ever. (Even the cast had never seen it!) Here are some pictures from the lovely evening. Enjoy!
P.S. Thanks to Tiff for hair and makeup for a few of us girls!

Our Newest Addition
We are really excited to introduce you to our "new" 67 Volkswagen Beetle. Rescued from her resting place of probably 10 yrs or so. One of Tammy's uncles has had 30+ Volkswagens for as long as anybody can remember and finally decided to dispose of them. He kept 4 only and since this one was staying in the family decided to let her go to us. We (that's me and Tammy ... the girls are still warming up to the idea) have great plans. We are trying to decide on colors. Cream and Key Lime are among the most popular for now ... we must also decide whether to make her a two-tone (white would be the second color). How factory and how custom is yet to be settled. Before the first thing happens I have to finish house projects: finish painting the outside, take down wallpaper in kitchen, texture and paint, and baseboards as well. Then the fun begins. Maybe by January, if weather and such cooperate. As Cross Country is starting up and soccer will follow the distractions will be plentiful.

A Visit with Dear Friends
To begin, this is our 100th post!!! Yipee!
We had dear friends come into town from Penn's Woods for 2 weeks. It was a fun-filled time (not to mention busy!!). Here are a few highlights of the time.
Being that we are ardent acting lovers, and having to fulfill a White family visit tradition, SJ revised/condensced a movie script of Stevo's and we filmed it. The film, called Pellington Park is about a group of modern-day children who begin a "very sophisticated" dress-up game of the Revolutionary War. We all had so much fun acting in it. Pellington Park is the 3rd movie we written, developed, acted in and filmed with our dear friends. Enjoy a few pictures of the "making-of."
We also had a Film Festival while they were here. Pellington Park wasn't edited in time, but we were able to watch some other creations. Bee, SJ, MJ, Stevo and Eli all directed some (Mom's opionion - "quite creative") films that we acted in. From the FBI to the Wild West, Civil War to Music Videos....we had it all on the big screen....literally. Here's another slide show!
Finally, we got to visit our most favorite historical dress-up site ever...Mission San Luis! The day it was officially decided we would go we made a quick (but professional) trip to Bargain Box (the best place for bargain clothing, to be transformed into elaborate historical costume) and whipped up some costumes for the White boys and Emmy Xiang (none of which had ever been to the Mission). The next morning found us driving in the Homeschool Express (15 passenger van) and the Green Car (a big suburban) to Tallahassee. We were so happy to see some of our favorite historical interpreters, as well as meet some new folks. We especially enjoyed the fort soldiers "playing along" with our games. While the boys defended the fort, the girls weeded the beautiful vegetable garden. Here are a ton of pictures of that!
The moms got to enjoy time together chatting and chatting, and the parents all went out for a lovely supper....meanwhile, all of the kids planned for the next visit....
We miss ya'll soooo much and can't wait till next year, Whites! Love, Us
