Updates...Um... Where to start?
Kids are out of school for summer. Last few weeks before school let out was KAH...RAY...ZEE! There was so much going on for Abbie... Grad Night field trip to Busch Gardens...had a blast! 8th Grade Dance...looked Gorgeous.... Athletics Awards...scored 6... Graduation Ceremony... Success. End of Year Yearbook Signing Party, Fun?? I suppose- except we forgot to order her a yearbook at the beginning of the year and the school didn't order any extras...Bummer. She had a really good year. I think she had a total of 4 B's on her report cards this year and the rest were A's!
Shawnie has started MMA classes. He is in a 3 year guaranteed Black Belt program. He goes Mon-Thurs and loves it. He also did great with his grades this year, had a couple more B's but is holding his own.
Both of them were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society this year, too!
Blake finally lost his first tooth, just this month. Then a couple days later he lost his second! He didn't even cry!
Gracie and Blake both did wonderful this year, as well. It was the first year their school was opened, and it seemed to go without a hiccup. They both love being Owls and have met many great new friends.
Mark and I became God-parents to our sweet niece, Emma. We feel blessed to have been given this wonderful responsibility!
I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with one sweet little baby and due Christmas day. Nope...it's not ours. The baby belongs to a magnificient couple in California. She's a school teacher and he owns his own buisness. They have no children together and are really excited to finally be pregnant after many years of failed attempts on their own. They are very sweet and I love being on this journey with them!
The Swedish twins I delivered last year are about to celebrate their first birthday! WOW! Time flies. A year already.
We just got back from a long weekend at Disney. I took the kids a day early and we stayed at Port Orleans for a night and then Mark, Mam and Grampa Brant me up with us and we camped at Fort Wilderness. YEE HAW!!! We popped into Hollywood Studios one night. Had a VERY late night at the Magic Kingdom on Friday and then Saturday and Sunday we went into Blizzard Beach. It was pretty hot but still was a fantastic mini-vacation. I just love that place and can't wait to go back.
