Good Morning! Looks like it is shaping up to be a beautiful day.
The kids have their last day of swimming lessons today. They have done great, and Chris keeps telling us that he is an expert now. He is so proud! Jenna has mastered dunking her head (SUPER FAST) so she is feeling pretty good as well.

Zach worked his last shift at Walgreen's last night (sniff sniff), however it looks like Katie will be taking his place...(LONG LIVE THE FAMILY DISCOUNT!!!) Walgreen's really is all that! It is so handy to have a drug store on the end of your block. I have become pretty spoiled with it actually. No more fretting over running out of milk...and a majority of time, they have the cheapest in town (outside of Sam's club).

We are gearing up for more doctor appointments with Chris, and hope to get him on the road to good health before school starts. They STILL can not determine what is ailing our poor young man. PRAYER PLEASE. He has another open house at the elementary school tonight....it will be great to see the progress made.

In just TWO days, my first born turns 18. I can't tell you the swell of different emotions that is bringing on. I am actually left quite shocked that he is this age already. When they say life goes fast, you don't believe them, until you watch one of your children grow up before you, and prepare to begin their own life journey...again, SNIFF SNIFF.

I have however been blessed with fabulous children that are so very good. I am indeed a lucky woman. Zach is an extraordinary man, and I am so very proud of him. I know he will do great things in life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON! I love you!

Well, keeping it rather short today. I am a bit sore, and sitting here actually, well hurts! So, I am going to cruise out and rest on my side for a spell.

My good friend Karla, who many of you have followed her journey as well, is in surgery as we speak. Please pray for her, her surgical team, and her continued healing.


Be joyful today.
Julie
