Dear Children, it's our last week of summer. We have spent the whole week at Grammy and Papa's house running errands and going to appointments. Half of you came down with a cold and I was wishing I had Kade's inhaler in the middle of the night a couple of times. Dear Busy, it has been buussy. But we all have clean happy teeth. 3 out of 4 had no cavities and I had two fillings replaced. It always feels good to be caught up and cavity free. Dear Hazel, your wriggly front tooth happened at just the right time. When auntie Ranell is around we make her pull all of the loose teeth. She paid you a quarter after 2 broken blue strings. It took a thicker pink string and that did the job. You are so stinking cute with both front teeth missing:) Dear Kade, we discovered that you have like 5 loose teeth ready to come out. One of which already has the new molar pretty much in all the way. That thing is coming out today. Dear Avary, you have big plans on having Ranell adopt you so you can have all the animals you want, a ranch full of horses and lots of money. If we had lots of money I would let you have lots of animals cause I could afford to have someone else take care of them. Dear Hailey, we picked up your new glasses. They are pretty cute. They seem to be a little more breakable than the last pair so take care. You are soaking up all the love your auntie showers you with. I like that. We have gotten to spend a little more time alone together also running to and from appointments, it's been nice. Dear Awesome, playing games with fun people and laughing til you cry. I love my people. Dear Family, I swear I haven't moved back in, you just live near all of the good Doc's and conveniences. I have enjoyed getting to sneak out for a bite to eat or staying up late laughing. Good for the soul, you know. Dear Will, I'm afraid that you have gotten used to being a bachelor again and will be shocked if we come home. Should I stay until my family kicks me out? Dear Self, once in a blue moon it feels.nice to be back in my old room with my old bathroom (i say "old" but it's actually much newer than my house, which is probably why I like it)and be able to take a nice bubble bath, have people to talk to and laugh with and cousins for the kids to play with and just take a break from the reality of life. It will be a big smack in the face in a few days when school starts along with the many activities, responsibilities and a very tight budget. No more visiting family or hanging out at the pool. Oh well. We will adjust if I am forced to. Maybe, just maybe, the house will be cleaner and I will exercise more?
