Finally Summer...

We finally have a week with nothing to do! This has been a crazy, busy summer with vacations, swimming, baseball, VBS, birthdays, doctor's visits and many other FUN things! Last week Greg was off all week and we had a great time going swimming and playing with Daddy. Our good friends from Phoenix came into town and we met them for dinner. We are still holding out for them to move to Dallas! They are such a sweet family with a little boy Bailey's age and another little girl on the way this November. So, now what do we do with nothing to do! We played out back all day yesterday. It was so nice not to have to get all four of us dressed to go anywhere.
Connor loved being outside and didn't want to come in for nap time! He followed me around while I hosed down all the outside play toys and ran in front of me so he could get sprayed. He was soaked in a matter of minutes.

The older two love to pretend in the backyard. I think yesterday they were pirates or something and were trying to build a fire on top of the Little Tykes playhouse. It is plastic so I was glad they were there and not on the wooden swing set building a fire!

Connors favorite thing to do was empty Lulu's bowl and pour the water on himself.

I have not had much time to blog this summer. We are always busy but the summer seems even worse than the rest of the year.
Hopefully now I will have more time to catch up on all our news!

The biggest news is that Connor has been fever free for 4 weeks now! We are taking it one day at a time and enjoying this happy little boy so much. We know it will come back and we will deal with it then. With the new specialist and our "plan of action" we feel so much better. He actually fought off a cold last weekend and that is amazing!

Bailey is beginning to talk about school. She is getting so big looking to me! She is going to a High School Musical 2 party next week and is beyond excited. What happened to my sweet little girl who just sat by her mommy and hung on my arm? She is just about as tall as Jack and yes, that bothers him greatly!

Jack is already practicing soccer with his new soccer goal for the yard and is getting excited about the new seasons of sports about to start. I have not missed sports too much. We needed a break. He is excited about starting 2nd grade and about his sister being in school with him. I love that they can look after each other this next year.

That brings me to the school situation! No. we still don't have an answer to our school problem. We have a second appeal this Friday if they don't put it off again. I DO NOT want my kids at ACM again. We would take just about any other school at this point to get them out. Hopefully we will know something this Friday.

Greg started his new job yesterday and he loves it. He is also beginning the process of tapering off his steroids. We are a little nervous. We hope he can come off of them and have no symptoms. If he isn't in remission then we will have to go to plan B.

I plan on enjoying the next few weeks before school starts by doing nothing!!!
