OK so summer is coming to an end but that doesn’t mean we’re any less busy.
We’ve been having lots of playdates with kids of family members or friends to keep Mary Elizabeth busy. It’s been a lot of fun. This Labor Day weekend we’re at Aunt Michelle & Uncle Ralph’s house visiting and then will celebrate labor day AND the 1st anniversary of Uncle Daniel & Aunt Amber as well. A big Congrats to them!
September 8th starts PRESCHOOL for Mary Elizabeth. WOW can’t believe it’s here. It’s sad that our little girl is growing up but this will be good for her. I know she will have a great time in school. She loves kids, learns well and enjoys staying busy.
September 8th will be a busy day though because after school we have to head down to the city for her follow up appointment from the Sclerotherapy. This will mark nearly 6 weeks since her surgery. As we’ve seen this is too early to see the final results but we’ll get updates from them and discuss what’s next I suppose. I doubt we will schedule any big surgeries for anytime before the holidays though.
October 2nd will bring Mommy & Daddy’s 10th year together officially as a couple. Sure it’s not our wedding anniversary but it is special to us nonetheless. We are looking to plan a little trip away for maybe the weekend or just overnight with the help of Grandma and Aunt Amber. It’ll be nearly 3 1/2 years since we had time away from the kids so I think we’re overdue. As anyone married or together long enough knows- special time as a couple is needed and we’re looking forward to it. Nothing is set in stone yet but we’re working on details. Anyone that knows us, knows we’ll probably find a concert or something musical to attend. As much as we’ll miss our little ones, it’s a short period of time and well happy parents = happy kids!
November seems to be around the corner too which is so sad because my little baby boy will be turning 1 before I know it. Birthday arrangements need to be made, and we can’t believe we’ll be starting that planning process already! WOW!
And well after that is holidays and the whole nine yards.
As for the stress that came into our lives when I lost my job, we’re working things out as we go. I am looking to watch a couple kids in my home for extra income. This will enable me to still be with my kids. Which has been good for me and them. Also good for Andy since I’m able to get some things done around the house without his help and get his dinner on the table after he comes home- haha.
As always we’ll see what God has in store for us. In the meantime we’ll stay strong and keep on going. Never letting the roadblocks we face stop us. We’re Walking by Faith as we always say. And it’s always been proven that in the end things work out. Ya know, if I didn’t say it before- we’re Blessed Beyond Measure 😉
