I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted anything new!!! Life has been hectic and busy, but we are slowly getting into the "back-to school" mode. The boys started school on August 11th, so they have completed 2 full weeks already! Tom and I celebrated our 18th anniversary on August 25th. We can't believe we are only 2 years away from our 20th!!!
I have a funny story to share: After Ben's 7th grade orientation he came out of the school in "shock"...I guess that is a fitting word! He just couldn't understand how the school has all of this beautiful land with such nice grass and...guess what?!....he doesn't have RECESS!!!!! Can you believe it?! Poor Ben, went on and on about not having recess and the fact that the school doesn't even need to have land then! I guess that being the 3rd child I never gave it a thought that his brothers didn't tell him about no recess. Thankfully, I believe his shock is behind him now...I still think he is disappointed though!
My sister Karen and I went on a wonderful "girls getaway" in Indy...Aug 14-18. We had such a wonderful time reconnecting and just hanging out together. It definately brought us back to our childhood and sharing a room with each other! We have decided to make this an annual event...next year we plan on bringing our mom with us and flying out to CO to visit our sister, Vicki. That should fun as well!
Karen and I are busy organizing our niece, Danielle's bridal shower which is Sept 14th in Janesville, WI! Karen is doing the cake, invitations, decorations, games and prizes and I am doing all of the food. I will be going to WI the Thursday before to start shopping and making everything. We are so looking forward to the day. Their wedding is Oct 4th in Sycamore, IL.
My parents...FINALLY sold their home in Wis. Dells after being on the market for 2 1/2 years!! They are now living in their BEAUTIFUL new home in Janesville....they did NOT downsize...they upsized!
FYI: I have been having some personal issues so I had a pelvic ultrasound yesterday. The ultrasound tech really wasn't supposed to tell me anything but she said a little...the lining in my uterus looked thick...that indicates a possible Fibroid Tumor (benign). If I don't have a tumor then I may need a D&C, if I do have a fibroid tumor...a possible Hysterectomy would be looming in my future. Please pray for me that it is nothing worse!!! I will keep you updated when I get the actual report from my doctor...the tech may be way off base as well!
Today starts a new life for Emily again...she has enjoyed staying home this summer with our neice, Collette, who is her Godmother. Collette has taken the rest of the week off in preperation of her last year of college which resumes on Monday. Little Miss will have to go back to Kindergate...her daycare center. That is not going to be fun for her or mommy!!!
I need to be going now...talk to you all later! K
