School Approaches

The kids are excited to return to school. Kelsie will return as a first grader and Joe as a sixth grader. Joe will participate in the junior high wrestling program this year, which means he had to have his first sports physical this summer. Kelsie will also return to dance class next month as well as Melissa. That's right I am taking an adult hip hop classs; how fun will this be?!! All the school supplies are bought except the indoor shoes. They each got an outfit from us as well as Grandma Sue so they should be set until winter. Kelsie gets to walk to school this year with the assistance from her brother as that is where he catches his bus for Viking. The girls are calling for Joe already as I'm sure will continue throughout the year. Kelsie wants to return to school so she can see all her friends she didn't see this summer. Social butterfly will make a ton of new friends in first grade I'm sure.

Another Door has opened

This past week has been pretty hard for us and I was way stressed out. Life was giving us a stressful moment and I thought we had fallen so far down we would never get out of this mess. The power of prayer and trying to see the positive side of life has come through again. "When one door closes another door opens" is the famous phrase this week. I hope this door leads us down some straight pathways and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you to all who have listened and helped us get through this opened door.

So tonight is Kelsie's last T-ball game and Joe's last baseball game was last week. It will be so nice to come home after work and not have to rush off somewhere. We can actually have some "real" family time.

Joe went to the allergist last week and found out he has the early stages of asthma and he wasn't too happy about that. His allergist suggested the allergy shots at his age to try and elimate all symptoms of allergies and asthma to the point of not having to need medication anymore. Joe has decided that is the route he wants to take so he will receive his first shot next Wednesday.

Have a great week to everybody!!
