Summer time






It has been such a long time since I got on here, but wanted to update you on the things going on in our lives.

Sarah is doing good. She is 27 weeks along with baby boy #2. She is going to have her hands full, as if she doesn't already. The doctors are hoping that she will hold off until the end of September. Noah came 2 months early, so we are hoping to not have a repeat of last summer.

Noah is the sweetest little thing. He has started crawling and he is BUSY! I think I liked it alot better when I could put him on a pallet on the floor and he would stay there, but it is very sweet when he pulls up to the chair you are sitting in and looks at you with those big huge eyes.

Austin is at Governor's School for the Arts. He has been there 3 weeks, staying in the dorm, and working hard. He is earning college credit and working hard so that is good. I did not realize how much I would miss him though. It is so quiet around here. He also got a part in the play Gypsy at the Germantown Community Theater, they start rehearsals in the middle of July.

Annabeth is enjoying being an only child for a bit. She pretty much stays in her room watching TV, playing on the computer and doing her summer reading. Did I mention that it is quiet around here

Dwayne is singing with his quartet. They have quite a few dates recently and he is loving it. He has filled in at a couple of local churches recently leading the music. Sometimes I think he really misses doing it full time, but he is loving traveling around with SHQ. He still feels like he is fulfilling his calling by bring the gospel in song.

Me, what can I say. I am working in the NICU, I stepped down from my management position and am back to being a "bedside nurse". I like it so much better. I can clock in, do my work, clock out and go home. Much less stress. That is really what I went to nursing school for. I still do extra stuff, but not nearly as much as I was doing. I also help Sarah with keeping Noah a day or so a week. I love being a Mimi.

I guess I will close for now, take care...........kay
