School is Back in Session!!!!!

Well today I went and registered Shelly & Ryan for school. Shelly is now in the 5th grade and Ryan is in the 7th grade. They both seem to be real excited and I know I am ready to be back on a normal routine (well as normal as it can be with 5 kids, 2 sports, band and hopefully choir!) LOL

The begin their first full day on Thursday.

I did not get to work until right at lunch time, so when I did I went straight to the kitchen and warmed up my lunch so that I could eat at my desk while getting things accomplished. It was a pretty productive day overall.

I finally got in touch with an old friend of mine to check in with her family and boy it was great to hear her voice and catch up a bit. Hopefully we can keep that up because now I have her blog site saved and she will have mine. Her boys are getting so big, boy does that time fly fast when you have your families!

Got home and worked on our pool, then I got dinner started and now I am here! Jim wont be home until almost 9:00 pm tonight because he had to work Shelby County Schools registration. Well I better go and finish dinner.....

Until then, God Bless and blog to you soon :)

Sad News

We found out via a phone call during lunch after church on Sunday that Jim's Uncle Bruce had passed away just an hour before. I recall at about that time we were taking communion and praying for him and his family. Jim was doing pretty well and we were able to talk to his cousin Adressa and left a message for his Aunt Judy. Thankfully we had sent a fruit basket the day before to the hospital for everyone to enjoy to let them know how much we wish we could be there and how much we loved them and that they were in our thoughts and prayers.

I got to talk to Aunt Judy yesterday on my way home from a busy day at work and she sounded good at the time and told me that he took his last breathe holding his wife and kids hands and that it was very peaceful. For that Jim and I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much to all of those that kept them and our family in your prayers.

God Bless, Jenni
