School has been out just under 2 weeks now and I'm sure my kids are thinking that being in school is much more fun! I have kept them very busy with digging up weeds, moving rocks, cleaning out the basement, washing my vehicle.....you get the picture. It so helps that I'm limited in what I can do and they have had to really step up and help out more. I do have to say they have all done a great job of helping and not complaining about it. In between all these heavy chores I'm coming up with and exchange for working so hard, I do run them around to their friends or go pick up their friends to come over here.
Mark and Kaylie are in the middle of swim lessons and Mark has even been out in the backyard shooting his bow.
James starts up soccer again Thursday. I think he's looking forward to that after a rough high school experience. I tried to eplain to him after watching a scrimmage game at tryouts how different and do I dare say "beautiful", it was to watch a group of boys play soccer the right way - executing passes, trusting each other out on the field..working as a team. The high school experience wasn't that way, and I know I'm looking forward to watching James and his teammates this fall. One of the hardest things about all our boys growing up and playing high school soccer in the spring, is all us soccer moms (and a few dads) miss out on seeing each other. We have all developed such close friendships with each other over the last 4 to 6 years, that I think we are all looking forward to hanging out on the soccer field sidelines again. Stephanie - we will set up an honorary chair just for you!)
Mike is staying extra busy with work - going back and forth between two jobs and finishing up on a third. He's also playing on a church softball league on Friday nights which we all go to cheer him and the team on. It's been rather fun watching him play. (Softball isn't quite as boring as I thought it was :)
As for me, I try and use my left hand as much as possible without the brace on and TRY not to be discouraged that I still have a lot of pain, hardly any grip, and can't hold a pen correctly to write very well (but at least I can type!). It's been 7 weeks now and even though the doc says it will take about 4 months for my wrist to heal and for me to regain full use of my hand, I'm certainly ready for that NOW! :) Healing is just so much slower for an adult than when you're a kid. Word of advice - don't wear slippery flip flops to school!!!

Sheesh, no honorary chair for me?
OOHHH Lia - I'm so sorry for leaving you out - of course, there'll be a chair for you too! :)
Lia can sit on my lap :0 I will miss all of you guys. Don't be surprised if we show up at a few games. It's hard to "cut the cord." deb, hang in there with your wrist. Eventually you will be back to 100%.
