The Bunch Are Tired Of Summer!

 

They love each other. 💗

The insanely hot, long summer can end! I think everyone can agree that the South is ready for fall! Things have been busy here. Having only one child still in secondary school has been different. School seems to move so much faster since T doesn't have to wait for me to finish doing something for anybody else first. Most of the time it's just me, T, and D. It reminds me of when it was just me, D, and C (our eldest). Life has come full circle. Speaking of C, we are going to go spend a few nights in Bonham in a couple of weeks to celebrate his and our granddaughter's birthdays. We always enjoy our visits with them, especially since we don't get to see them very often. I can't believe C turns 30 this year!!! Time goes by so fast. I am never sure how each day can seem so long, but at the same time I feel like I barely blink and a decade has passed. 

T has been busy with basketball. The craziness of basketball season starts the first weekend in November and will go through the end of January. Once February gets here is slows way down and after mid March it's over. I will say that this year's schedule is to my liking. Most of our games (not tournaments) are within 20 minutes of our house! T still thinks he doesn't want to play next year, but we'll see. Basketball keeps him busy, but I am open to him doing something else. 

We went to go get T a echo stress, but they only sent us somewhere that could do an echo so now we have to go to South lake in November to get the echo stress done.

We went to go get Mr. Chopsticks afterwards. It was so yummy!

T banged heads with a teammate in practice so we had to come home early to put ice on it. I am going to get some instant cold packs to keep in his bag in case he needs ice again.

Fortunately, he seems fine and we got the swelling under control. He just has pretty colors around his eye. 

A is so close to graduating from college. She is both excited and a little nervous about it. She asked me the other day what she is suppose to do after college. I told her that that was the beauty of it, she could do whatever she wants! I think she plans to stay at the clinic she currently works at and hopefully can save up for a down payment on a home. D and I think when he retires from the force in about 5 years that we will sell our house and buy a plot of land to divide up among the kids so they can build their houses somewhere. We have been looking into modular homes as a possible option. We have fun watching videos of the new models together and imagining how she would use the space.

D has been doing so much better. He is learning his new normal and for the most part has been adhering to it. He has cut out caffeine, alcohol, spicy food, and really watches his portion sizes. I haven't heard him complain about pancreatitis pain in awhile so it seems to be working, plus he also takes a PPI that helps. 

I hope everyone has a good week ( us included)!
