Shame on me...haven't written a note on here in nearly 6 months. It's been busy and eventful.
In April we lost Ron's mom. Betty was a lovely and special woman. I will never be able to thank her enough for raising such a wonderful son. Now she's finally at peace and at home with her sons, her husband and family that went before...I know she sits in heaven and smiles down on these silly grandsons of hers.
In May we continued the season of loss with the passing of my stepmother, a cousin and my auntie. It took a while to come out of the shock of so much s quickly but God is faithful and allotted time for each of us to grieve. May also brought joy though. As things end so things begin. Evan turned 1, Kyle graduated high school and then turned 19 all within the span of a week. Busy days.
June and July brought summer fun and the heat. Thank heavens our pool survived another year. I think we've used it more this year than the two years previous combined! Summer adventures included trips to the zoo, picnics at the splashground, lots of playdates with our friends and even a Daddy-little boy camping trip with Ron taking Cam and Jake to Lake Oologah.
On to August and it's back to school. Camdyn is in the First Grade and loving it. Jacob started all-day Pre-K this year and has the same Pre-K teacher Camdyn did. We adore her and she "gets" little boys so we feel blessed. Kyle has taken his prequal test for Canadian Valley to enroll there and learn a trade but now has his sights set for a transfer in the next couple years to OSU.
As for Ron and I, well, keeping up with all these kiddos takes a bulk of our time but we are getting some of the projects done 'round the house we've wanted. Ron loves working for the Conservation Commission and I am loving being back at home managing the day to day life. We're enjoying new friendships with people from our church and love "doing life" with our small groups. For now, it's on to fall and cooler days (thank the Lord)! Blessings to you all!
