OH my! What a month!
We have been so blessed to have Heather, Adam and Maya (and Lani for a few days) all month! I love having my sister around! She has the best way of looking at hospitality - I swear, I thought I was hospitibale - but she is a people person! She has the kindest attitude about loving on others. It's so natural for her! Her kids are a hoot! Maya is a love bug! Adam loves to be around Ezra and Ellie - he is their best friend! Heather, I appreciate all you've done to help us in the chaos of the past few weeks! Thank you so much! I can't imagine what it will be like after Fri. when you return to London - I'll have to start my Dec. countdown!
Camping on the 7th led to a broken nose related from a freak skateboard accident for Ezra. Surgery at Children's Hospital on the 18th. Today we go for the removal of his "cast." He trashed his glasses - so my boy, who will be 10 soon, now has contacts! He seems so grown up!
Grace had five fillings - yes five! We brush everyday - but I need to be better at checking how well the brushing is done! A huge thanks to my mother in law for taking her to and from the dentist.
I found out I no longer have a job. The PA state budget needs to be signed - anyone else want to "Amen!" that. The Better Kid Care Program does not have any $ to pay Renee' and me - so... this could be a permanent thing - or only temporarily - Oh goodness, I need my job! It's what kept us out of the red - with making only minimums on our bills. All prayers regarding this - much appreciated.
Dayton Fair Week was a whirlwind - our Grace was voted Dayton Fair Princess. She had a very busy week representing the Dayton Fair. It was a ton of fun! She was blessed with free food all week. Plus all of the ice cream from Turner Dairy she could eat! All of our kids enjoyed the rides and animals!
Ellie was accepted to the local Head Start program. As a former HS teacher I cannot say enough great things about the program! I am so thankful she was accepted. The bus will pick her up right outside our door. Can it be? My Ellie is old enough to go on a bus anywhere? (sigh!!!) She is such a big girl! All she wants to do is draw and color!
One more week of summer vacation - we plan to make the most of each day! Have fun! Thanks for reading!
