Neighbor issues (Feel free to comment)

What would you do if you had a group of teenage/twenty somethings hanging out at your neighbors' house almost every night, using foul language, playing loud music, and having noisy cars?
This is not a pity party, I am honestly trying to figure out the best plan of action here, I want these kids saved! I really do have a burden for them, but at the same time my children are trying to sleep and all I hear is the "F" word.

Phone

For those of you who might call us...
Our phone is temporarily not in service, if you call us you will get a busy signal. I don't know what's wrong but we are trying to fix it. :)

Remind Me

About once a week I receive something in the mail or a phone call concerning Emily. I'm not talking about the many, many encouraging stories about how Emily has touched their life. I love to hear those. This particular post is about how cold hearted 'routine' and computers can be.
So it's been about three months since Emily went to heaven. Every week someone calls me about her insurance info, her name info, her SSN, etc.
One of the worst ones was from our insurance stating that Emily will no longer be receiving coverage because of her passing on June 11, 2008. A whole 42 cents for that?!! Thank you for informing me that she is dead.

Yesterday was the worst I think. My insurance sent a survey to Emily ___. Yes, it was addressed to her! They were wondering if their service to her was satisfactory. I guess that hit the top. How many times do I have to inform my insurance that Emily is dead, she's not here, she's in heaven!!
This might be the Age of Communication, but I think there are quite a few 'kinks' to work out.
Ok end of rant, I don't usually do this.... -(Renee)

Our First Nephew

Kaleb, Joshua and Rachel's first cousin, is absolutely adorable. Big brown eyes and a charming personality, we all love him. His parents, JoAnne (Joel's sister) and Shane are planning his first birthday this month. Below are some pictures from their visit in June: some are very cute and some are very cute and funny.
