Sorry to hear about your mono. Hope you start to feel perky soon.

Summer break

Hello Everyone,
We finished our school for the year here! That's always a nice feeling. We had our evaluations this past Friday and all went well. I had chosen a different evaluator and she did not disappoint me. She gave each child a lot of time and enjoyed all the work they had to show off. Today is Tuesday and I feel like I have a lot of time on my hands to catch up.

Stan's brother, Doug, and his wife Stephanie were here yesterday for the day. Had a nice visit. They have a kerry blue terrier dog with them who just had obedience training in Pittsburgh. Nice dog but not for me. We hope they will come down for Christmas this year.

Kara, glad to hear from you. I'm anxious to meet Logan. I have never regretted staying home with my kids. I worked one day a week for years and that was a nice fit for us as Stan would watch the kids. I'm not working outside the home at all the past five years. I always loved nursing but I don't need the stress right now. If I ever went back it would not be to hospital nursing.

Diane, I bet it's hot down there. It's finally summer here. 94 today. Would you please look in your den for some necklaces of mine. I took 3 brown beaded necklaces, colorful and an opal necklace mounted on a square piece of sterling silver. It was Stan's moms.

Cheryl, I really liked your longer hair!

Wayne, I'm glad to hear about your new position!

John's graduation is June 6. I'm glad Mom and Dad can come. I do get concerned about the long drive for them. We will get to meet Katy. We have a golden too, Lily. They ought to have fun together. `John may or may not leave in July for the Marines. He is fighting something and is extremely fatigued. This has gone on for about three months. Frequency testing showed acute mono. Lab testing looked normal for a number of things. The doctor would like him to wait and John is okay with that. So am I!

Well, I'm off to enjoy my first day of vacation.
Love, Jeanne

I have the air on today. Supposed to be 87 and very muggy from the rain we have had this week.

A couple of graduations here this year. Kasey Bodenbender, Jason, Mark's boy and Jessica, Billy's girl, and Jorden. Mom and Dad are leaving Tuesday the 6th and coming back on the 8th for John's graduation.

Rick has been battling a cold this week and now I am starting in. Dad talked to his doctor this week and they both felt better afterwards. He talked like the vein that is blocked is a small one and shouldn't cause much of a problem. It was really weighing on the two of them.

I haven't talked to them this morning yet, they are out, but I think it is unlikely that he will be marching this year in the parade. So I am glad we have made sure we have all been there the last couple of years when he has. Maybe he will meet them at the cemetary. I think we are all going to the pond for the day. Oh, that reminds me, we have to go do flowers at the graves. I guess maybe Sunday night.

I hope Kevin and Stan are both doing well. Oh yeah, Diane, which part of Jupiter is the 'small town' ?????

Wayne starts his new job June 5th. I don't know when the move will be. I think Lucy and the kids are staying in Wis. for the summer. Good Luck to you.

Have a great week-end !!

Hello everyone!!! My first post!! My 8 weeks are finally up. I go back to work on Tuesday. Logan is getting really big. At one month he was 13 lbs 3 oz. He goes back to the dr a week from Monday. Can't wait to see where he is then. Isaiah and Logan will be going to a new sitter for the summer since their normal sitter is expecting and due June 6th. A little worried about how Isaiah will do since he has been at Becky's since he was 6 weeks old. He says he won't cry but we will see how he does. Darren and I are looking at maybe being able to stay at home either full time or maybe part time. We will see. Well I just wanted to send a quick post out. I hope everyone is doing good. Oh and Diane, the outfits that you got Isaiah when he was born he didn't really get to wear but they have been perfect for Logan!!!! Talk to everyone later.


Kara

Still hot and dry

Hello everyone, Cheryl thanks for posting a picture of you and Rick and the grandkids. I hadn't seen a picture of your new teeth yet. From what I could tell you looked pretty good. How are you doing with them? Still hot and dry down here. It makes us a little nervous for huricane season. The rule of thumb is dry spring, bad huricane season. James finished his baseball season. It was a lot of fun. He'll take the summer off and then do either tackle football or baseball in the fall. Tackle football is a big commitment, 2hours a day 5 days a week. Meghan is still busy with travel basketball. We go to a tournament June 2,3,4 which will give us our final rank in the state, right now we're 4th. Not bad for the small town of Jupiter!! On July 11 we go to nationals in Tampa. The top 8 teams qualify for that tournament, should be fun. Kevin had carpaltunal (I'm sure i didn't spell it correctly sound it out) surgury on his right hand last week. He fell back asleep after he came out of the recovery room and they had a hard time wakeing him up again. This Thursday he goes to the O.R. again for his back. It's been a long time since his last procedure so he's really looking forward to the releif. Meghan had her 8th grade dance this past Friday. What a blast between nails, hair, make-up and going from house to house with a couple girls and us moms to check everyone else out. She had a great time and looked beautiful, maybe I can figure out how to send some photos. I personally have been doing good, I feel like I'm always in the car dropping off or picking up. Starting Thursday the 25th I have till the 5 of June off, the doctor is going out of town plan on painting, and cleaning closets!! Later
