The long road

It has been a long time. I have been trying to keep busy and positive. It has been a rough year. I am nervous about the year anniversary coming up. I miss my brother so much. I still think that he will be on the other end of the phone when I hear it ring. He was the best.

The boys are doing well in school and in sports. Growing so fast. Evan is getting ready for middle school. I already went to the open house and registered for his classes next year.

Chris is working hard as usual. He is also asst. coach for Allan's basketball team and Evan's indoor soccer. And he is taking an online course. Soon to be a grandpa. Any day now.

I kiss the ouches, wash the clothes, clean the house, cook the food, and cheer them on. I really have to find something more to do. Getting bored. Although, I have been doing some home improvements.

FIRST DAY

I can't believe it, the first day of school already. Where did the summer go? The boys were actually a little excited. Not much though. Evan is in the fifth grade, YIKES. Time really does fly. I remember growing up thinking how long things took, now things happen in a blink of an eye. Do you remember older people talking about how time flies? Now I am one of them. Any hoot, here is to a good year of school. Lots of learning, good grades, fun, new friends, old friends, etc.

Not sure what happened in my previous post with the pictures. I will have to try and figure that out. That will take some time for sue. I can't even upload a picture here of the first day. Who knows what I did?

On the Farm

These are some pictures taken at Eric's farm. The boys had a blast. They fished, fed cows, chickens, horses, the donkey, etc. Picked fresh veggies for dinner. (not their favorite thing to do and eat) Notice the trout Evan is holding. There is a fish story behind it. But for now, it was caught on a fly rod of Eric's. Evan never ran so fast to show me a fish. He was grinning ear to ear. And Allan, no fear of these large Friesian horses. He was a natural. Riding Todd bare back. So of course their Christmas list is very expensive this year. They want to live on a farm. Evan wants a fly rod and Allan a horse. (on top of the death star lego set that cost $399.00) Dave better start sending me some pennies from heaven.
