Friday, August 1, 2008 7:38 AM CDT WOW!!! It has been a long time since my last entry!!! No news is good news, they say!!!
Truth is we have lots of news but indeed it is mostly all good!
For starters, Nicholas is currently enjoying his second year at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp! Kaeley and I dropped him off yesterday and he will be there until next Wednesday! It was not as hard for me to leave him this year as I know he will have another wonderful week full of unimaginable fun! The camp staff in his group were so friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Nicholas was grinning from ear to ear!
We have lots of other news too! On June 23rd we moved from Vernon, our home for 13 years to Willington, Ct about 20 minutes away. For me this was difficult as we had lots of memories on Vinetta Drive. We had LOTS of ups and of course some downs there! I brought both of my babies home to that house, so leaving was a tough thing. But, we were outgrowing our sweet little cape and had found a colonial in Willington which we are making our home. After almost 6 weeks here I feel very peaceful and know we made the right move. We are in the country now, with lots of critters in our yard including deer!! The children are creating a "fort" in our back woods with the many neighborhood children! Nicholas has become a little fish in our pool.
On a sad note, we lost my dear grandmother, "Grammie B" which has hit us all very hard. Certainly I was very. very close to her, so it has hit me the hardest, but Steven and the children are really missing her as well. Holidays, especially, will just not be the same.
Steven started in a new facility within the same company the week after we moved. His commute is about 30 minutes on easy routes through beautiful country towns...no highway.
The children will be going to a new school in this new town. They will be together in the town's 4th-8th grade school. It is nice for me to know they'll travel together on the bus. They squabble as siblings do, but they love each other and will watch out for one another.
I'll resume teaching in September and continue my role as Pre School Coordinator. I will actually have some work-from-home things to do in prep. for the school year that will keep me a bit busier over the next couple of weeks.
Most importantly, Nicholas has remained HEALTHY and we thank God for that every day.
Thanks for checking in and please drop us a line in the guestbook. Nicholas has renewed interest in it as he has shared the website with his new camp friends and hopes to hear from everyone!
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
