Entering Middle School...

I didn't cry when Alex went to Kindergarten, but today I got a little teary eyed. My young man has headed off to Middle School, a time of 6 classes in one day, 5 minutes to get there and a locker on the other side of the school.
I tried to find his first day of school photo last year for comparrison, but I think it's on a cd somewhere. Last year he was several inches shorter.

It's hard to see your boys grow up and I can only hope that Alex becomes the amazing young man I know he can be.

First day of Pre-K
Every year I make a big deal of Alex going off to school, so it was only natural that Josiah expect the same treatment.
Today was his first day in Pre-K. No more games all day, he actually learns to write and other things! how exciting.
Look for Alex's first day of school photos tomorrow!

The Evergreen State Fair...

We had a great time at the fair yesterday. The first thing we did was find Josiah's blue ribbon cookie.


We then headed off through all the booths and let the boys ride some rides. We had a LOT of, David & I were exhausted... Josiah & Alex were not.

Sickness in our house...

Well, I honestly have never been so sick in my entire life. Last Tuesday afternoonn I went home from work a little early feeling achy... I had know idea what I was in for. With in two hours i was totally SICK. I couldn't move from all the pain and my throat felt like it was swelling shut. I had a tempature of 101 degrees and I questioned whether in not it warrented a trip to the doctor. After spending all day Wednesday in bed with my tempature at an all time high of 102.6 David decided I should hit the walk in clinic.
Well, I suffer from a kidney infection and strep throat with a cold starting. WHAT? so I have spent four days in bed, taking lots of drugs and sleeping more than I have ever sletp in my life. Today is saturday and I ventured out of the bedroom & out of the house. I am taking life VERY easy, but I have to also get back to normal soon. today was my first meal in five days and I am excited. Continue to pray that I will not over do it but also that the special day David & I had planned for the boys on monday will not be hindered by my energy.

Hope you all are doing well! The exciting news of the day is, David's brother, Nathan is on his way home from Iraq!!!! YAHOOOO! time to find him a nice girl :-).
