What have we been up too???

I see it's been awhile since I last posted. Savannah's surgery went well, we had a couple little problems with bleeding in the 14 day period following her surgery. We had to make one trip to the ER, but the bleeding had stopped by the time we got there. We waited for an hr and 1/2 before I decided to head home and see the ENT the next day. No problems since... Thank goodness. Allen's Dad has been very sick and so his parents, along with his brother Gene and his wife Bev came in town and stayed with us for a few days while Keith ( Allen's Dad) had some tests done. We had a nice time visiting with family, only wish his Dad would start feeling better soon. The day they left we had visitors from St. Louis. My Dad's youngest brother Jim is married to Stacey (who is my age and weird to call her my aunt). They also have 4 kids close in age to ours. So While Jim was sailing in Michigan, Stacey and her kids came to play for a few days. I will post pics later. They left Friday afternoon, and then I worked Friday and Saturday night.

The night they arrived Joseph became sick with a fever and ran a fever till Sunday morning and still hasn't quite been himself. Allen then woke up Saturday morning not feeling well, and has been sick all week. He has been very tired, fevers sweats and chills, horrible sore throat, sinus infection and now having flare up of Asthma. I have never seen him this sick in our entire marriage. He was supposed to be on vacation this whole week but instead he has spent the majority of it in bed. The Dr. thinks it could be Mono... we are hoping not. He is on antibiotics because his throat looks so awful, so I keep hoping every day that he will finally feel better.

Today was the first day of school for the girls. They had a 1/2 day and tomorrow have a full day. They both seemed to have had a good day. Allen's parents are back in town today and staying through the weekend. Keith had to see another specialist this week.

Savannah also had her first softball practice with her new team last Sunday night. I had to take her because Allen was so sick, but he will also be helping out coaching on this team. Her new team is a competitive team and she already learned so much at her first practice. She will play for about 8 weeks, and then participate in a fall tournament. Then she will start practices up in January again in preparation for the Spring Season.

Currently Addy isn't doing any activities but would like to do more art classes and more golf lessons. We will have to look into to that.

Thomas will start preschool September 1st and he can't wait! Joseph isn't going to know what to do with himself. He is a wild one... I don't know what I am going to do without haveing all those extra eyes on him. He is always into something he shouldn't be.

We also have been cramming pool time in since there is only a few weeks left. We went shopping earlier this week and also got Savannah's ears pierced for her Birthday which is later this month. The bad Mom that I am didn't take any pictures. It was kind of a last minute thing.

I will try and post a few pics too.
