My Crazy Life

This is a picture of Shark Boy and Mermaid Girl that I will scrap book some day. I did get some other good ones of them flying high on the same swingset I did about 25 years ago!! This reflects our life this week. I have no doubt the next 9 months will fly by for us. Here are some hightlights

*The family came home finally, turns out Mommy can not sleep with her little family gone! B's brother is doing much better, Thanks for the prayers.

*Shark Boy started the 3rd grade. He was so excited to learn and see his friends again. But SB was really disappointed to find out that he could not go to the afterschool program because his Dad is able to pick him up each day until September. He thought the afterschool "wouldn't charge him, because they really just love kids." "They don't need money" The coordinator got a kick out of that one!

* Mermaid Girl outgrew her toddler bed and has a .....BUNK BED! Yes, we have only 2 children and now 2 bunkbeds. There is a method to our madness. Our "hide a lump" sofa, as B calls it, is finding a new home soon. And we need more room for guests. We are not sure how big our next home will be and may sell SB's bunkbed before we move, as MG's bunk bed changes into 2 twins. She is so excited. She wanted Mermaid sheets...but Kohls had pink sheets on sale for 9.99 and it did not take too much convincing!

* B and I celebrated our 16th Anniversary. Well, the celebration will need to wait until another time as SB came home from school with pink eye and the babysitter has 2 girls under the age of 3. After this much time, we really don't need a fancy night, any night will do! I am grateful that this year, he was in the USA! If someone had told me in 1991, that for our 15th... we would have been on this journey and B would have been in Guatemala, I'd never believe it. God is good and has blessed me with a wonderful husband!

*Then I worked super long hours everyday until tonight....but still loving my job and met some really wonderful patients and families. My job is a cherished blessing from God!

* Tomorrow MG and I will drive to visit some very dear friends who left on their call this summer. We are so excited to see how God has blessed their life! MG could barely fall asleep tonight!

* This weekend my NEPHEWS are coming to spend the night.... MY NEPHEWS!! Of course, my sister will as well. Yeah!! But, these 2 boys have captured my heart and they are getting so big. I love to spend time with them, even if it is just over night.

More later!

Blessings, Patty
