Good visit with Mom Emery

Sue had a good visit with her mother this weekend.  Mom's move to the full-care part of the retirement community was a good one, and she seems to be doing will in the environment.  I'm glad Cathleen was able to go down and be with Sue as she does this - it helps so much! 

Happy birthday, Dad!

 

My dad celebrates another birthday today- woohoo!  After all the chemotherapy, the radiation, and now some experimental stuff they're using to knock the rest of the lung cancer out he's doing great.  He and my mother went to church this morning and to help celebrate their friends gave them the flowers from the front of the church after the service.  I wish I could be down there to help celebrate but will enjoy celebrating from home.   Love ya, Pop! 

Boys back in school

Our "year round" school schedule is great except for now.  Sending the boys to school the first week of August is always so hard because it's still summer and we still have things we'd like to do, but it will be nice when we have those weeks off during the school year.  Stephen is a Junior and Kevin is in 8th grade, and both of them have a heavy load of classes.  Stephen opted to take 3 AP classes so had to drop out of band, which will be different this year.  Kevin isn't doing anything extra yet so we are encouraging him to join the drama club.  Should be an interesting year!
