What a busy summer! July is done and we are moving ahead full speed! I can't remember if I let you all know that some time in September Jake will be having his tonsils and adnoids out... Jake has grown up so much this summer. He has gone from "being the baby" to being a toddler to being a "big boy" very quickly. It truly amazes me! I have never had a child at this age without having another one younger... I like it and I miss the babies...

Lucas has become a little man and has matured soooo much. It is amazing to me how much he has calmed and how responsible he has become. I love his sense of humor and his love for being "so very big"!

Sam has turned into a little lady and loves to be independent and in charge! She loves her friends and family with a loyalty not many have. Sam loves being on holiday... although "I'm bored" often sets in.

My dear Pernell is doing well. He bought me a B-E-A-utiful watch for my birthday! He works to hard and tries to carry to much on his shoulders and thinks he is over weight... to me he is perfect! I loved having vacation time with him and the kids and spending time with just him. His back is doing so-so but he trudges on.

Me... work is busy and there seems to be a stink load of paper work to do... but I still love my job. I love all the time I get to spend with my kids during these summer months. I am desperately trying to find time to get to my moms. It seems though that every time I have a few days in a row off, the kids have something on smack dab in the middle.... I will keep trying!

So that is me and my life... for now...
