I'm Back!!!

I just realized that I have not blogged since the end of June. Wow. Time really does goes by quickly & it seems that this summer has flown!

Here's an update...



Abby had her tonsils taken out & is doing beautifully

Isabelle learned how to ride a two wheel bike(no more training wheels) :)

David got a huge job that will go into the far lands of Dayton & Cincinatti

I lost 3 more pounds

I stopped biting my nails (again)

Our house STILL has not sold

Our kitty Winner died(she lived a good 16 years)

We learned how to make a rockin sand castle

We've finally made a decision that the girls will be going to a private Christian school this year

Got another call from my casting directors-will find out more tomorrow (hopefully)

Spent some awesome time with friends during the month of June

Hung out at every park known to man(at least near our house)

Went swimming

Laughed alot with my girls

Played at Kalahari with our friends

Went camping on the islands

As a family we worked hard together & won a scavenger hunt



Summer is soon ending & I plan on making the most out of every day we have left before the girls go to school & I head off to work...more fun, more laughter, more swimming, more parks...enjoying each moment.



This afternoon a friend & I saw the musical Mama Mia in the downtown Theater District. It was so much fun! I recommend this musical to anyone who loves to laugh & sing! There was a song in particular that was between the mom & her daughter who was about to get married. I just balled. It was such a beautiful picture of the relationship between a mother & daughter & how you have to one day let them go. Yikes. I hope that day does not come too quickly but I'm realizing that it probably will. I need to take the good & bad days & treasure them with such passion. Because one day they will be gone. I told the girls tonight as I was putting them to bed about this song & how it reminded me of them and Isabelle said to me, "Don't worry Mom, I just won't get married. I'll live with you FOREVER"

Let's see how she feels about that in 20 years. But it was heart melting at the thoughtfulness.
