YIPPEE ​

That's what Katie said when we told the kids this morning. She and Jacob and Leslie were thrilled! Mary was not so happy. She does not want to give up her role as baby in the family. Guess we've got some issues to work out.

 

[Glynis]

I'm trying very hard to get things done around here. The weather today was perfect. Bright blue skies, temps in the high 70s and a nice breeze. I told Colby that I wished we could just repeat this day forever.

I managed to not turn on my computer until around 9 PM which means that I kept myself busy all day. I went outside and cleaned the playhouse. Colby and I added fencing around the base as it sits on stilts. I think we will get sand and make a little play area in there for Colby. The fence will keep critters out and the cabin will provide shade to play in. It took a while to do and I managed to get one blood blister, but it looks nice. Now the wind won't blow the outside toys around either as they are fenced in.

The boys had lacrosse practice tonight and it was their first outside practice. I had forgotten that they needed cleats so I ran out at the last minute to pick those up. I left practice early to go to Kindergarten registration. I was long and boring since I already have to kids in the school.

Congratulations Glynis and Alan!! How absolutely wonderful for your family! for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Thanks, Jennifer! I'm hoping for healthy, too. So far, the morning sickness hasn't been as bad as the other pregnancies were. Don't know if my surgery has anything to do with that.

As long as the baby is healthy, that's all I care about.

Thanks, Deb!

Congratulations on the truck! Tell Chris that Alan is jealous! He really wants a new toy like that.

I will tell him.

That reminds me that I was supposed to post a big Nana Nana Boo Boo to Chuck as he did that to us while he was at Disney

What is the best way to get to WDW (the Contemporary Resort) from I75 South? I see there are at least 3 choices. I want the quickest and safest route, and we don't mind tolls. But if you suggest a toll road, can you tell me how much $$ I need? We are leaving Atlanta around 1pm, so I'm estimating we should arrive between 9-10pm at the latest (and with a stop for dinner).

Well, I'm finally caught up.

Today was Carissa's funeral. It was incredible! There were over 500 people in attendance. I think that even her parents were surprised. It was a beautiful tribute to her. Her siblings all spoke and sang and did an incredible job. After the ceremony, we went to the cemetery. The horse riding club that she belonged to "Courage Reins" met the hearse outside the church, and led the way. They had about 20 riders and one riderless horse. It was awesome. They did a presentation at the grave site, and it was so touching. We passed out white balloons to all the children and they released them at the end of the service. It was so neat to watch all the balloons rise into the sky. After that, the whole family went back to the church where the women's group had arranged for lunch to be served. We spent from 1:30-3:30 laughing and talking and remembering Carissa. It was definitely something that she would have loved!

It was a beautiful day, full of lots of emotional extremes. So, I think I'm going to call it a day and go to bed!

Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes and prayers! I'm thankful every day for each and every one of you!

[tinknme]

I know when I wake up tomorrow, I will not be able to move Our basement is cleaned out, carpet is all up, & all our big items we will no longer use/need are outside for pick up tomorrow. My dining room is bare & our living room has two chairs, end tables, & our tv lol Looks like we are moving out.

Five of Garrett & Riley's friends came over & helped. So Gary & I lucked out & did not have to carry any of the big items outside I do think I will have blisters from sweeping so much though lol

I bought pizza for the boys & could not thank them enough for their help. Gary suggested I give them some money as well & I agree, they really earned it today. So I need to get to the bank tomorrow. I am so glad we got everything done today that we was hoping to accomplish.

I was so happy to log on & read all the wonderful news tonight

I need to get in the shower, I feel really grimey

Night all!

Deb and Janet - you both had very productive days. I hope you aren't paying for it too badly today.

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Good morning everyone

 

[Pooh67_68]

It will all fall into place.
I truly believe you were meant to have another.

Thanks, Heidi. I'm a bit overwhelmed, but very happy.

Plenty of good thoughts and for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

At this point, the London trip is not affected. My dr. thinks it will be ok, as long as I get up and walk the cabin every hour. As long as I keep taking my progesterone, and other vitamins, I should be just fine!
