Well I made it through my first day without the kids and it was a long one! Raelynn and Cooper are staying with Grandma this week because we are without daycare for both of them. Of course they are having an awesome time but it is incredible how much I miss them. The house is soooo quiet and I have so much time to get things done but nothing seems to motivate me to do so. I will never understand how I will ever be ready for them to grow up and leave for good but I guess I still have a little time to prepare for that.
Raelynn had her school physical and has grown 2 inches and gained 8lbs. She is now 48.75" and 54lbs. That puts her in the 64% for height and 66% for weight. I was shocked to hear the weight gain because she looked like she was getting so slender to me but Dr. Kelley said she was just getting ready for a growth spurt. Again I was shocked to hear that because I think she has already had a growth spurt! Anyway, she is perfectly healthy and ready to start 2nd grade. Unbelievable to think that in less than a month we will be back in school. Where does the summer go!
The last few weeks have been busy but fun. Last weekend we helped paint Steph and Cody's new house and helped them get moved in. It is a great house and I am so excited to watch them start their lives. They have so much to look forward too.
We also spent more time on the soccer fields and playing blast ball. Because of the extreme heat Raelynn's horse show got cancelled which of course she was very upset. Luckily we have one this weekend.
Last week the kids also had VBS. It is a tradition that they go to Perry with Aunt Bonnie and they both Love it!
Last Friday was the CCF 5th Annual Golf Tournament and it was once again a huge success. We have to be the luckiest family to be able to help the families we do. We get all the credit but really we are just organizers, it is friends, families and community members that make it happen. Event after event we manage to raise money that is so needed. I can't wait until it is time to provide funding again. It is by far my favorite part. Thank you to everyone that makes this possible. Before we headed out to the Golf Course they kids joined me at my office. They both are so good there. They entertain themselves and never disturb me while I am with a customer or on the phone. I am always so proud of them. On Friday, I went in to one of the other rooms to get a file and when I returned this is who I found working.....
He looked so big sitting there and I couldn't help but laugh because that is exactly what he wanted. Right before we left the kids said they were just so tired. I told them to lay down and rest then. I guess they thought that was a good idea....I had to wonder if I would fit when I needed an afternoon nap!
Only 4 more days until these cuties are back home!!!
