August update

August has proven to be a bit easier than July was.  First off Grandma Barbara is in a rehab facility and slowly becoming stronger.  She will be going home in early September.  She may need oxygen permanently but that is far better than what we thought.  I have been talking to her every day and her spirits are high which is helping a lot.

We went to two fairs this month.  First to the county fair as a family and then to the state fair with Katlyn.  Sophia was picked as a cheerleader for the pig races both times.  She had a blast.

We also celebrated six years as a family at Dutch Wonderland.  It was a wonderful two day trip.  Sophia loved the rides, water park and shows.  Our hotel had a pool so we spent time in there too.

We switched Sophia's and Aiden's room.  Sophia loves her new bedroom.

Sophia is now into cake decorating.  We made a fish cake and had a blast.

We continued to garden and harvested some wonderful vegetables.

The end of the summer meant back to school.  She started her first day of kindergarten on August 27.  It is hard to get back into the morning routine.  As we were leaving for school she picked up glasses.  She thought they were hers.  They were actually mine.  I typically leave mine in the car and use them only for driving at night.  After walking her to school I came home and found her glasses on the microwave.  I thought she had forgotten them.  I brought them to school.  She came home wearing glasses, however, the eye glass case still had glasses in it.  It was then that I realized she had put mine on.  (YES- I am slow on the uptake)  She had not realized it all day!!!
