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

Prayers Needed

I know I have not been blogging as much as I hoped, but hoping to get back on track here soon!

Please keep my husband's family in your prayers. His Uncle Bruce (Ed) Wilson has been battling cancer for a few months and we thought he was doing much better but the past couple of weeks have been pretty rough for him and his wife, Judy. He has taken a turn for the worse and the more people we have praying for them, hopefully they will be able to feel the arms of our God wrap around them and hold them tight to give them the strength that they are needing at this time. Uncle Bruce is Jim's mother's brother. Sadly Jim's mom, Shirley, was called to the Lord a few years back and his father, Harry, was called to the Lord when Jim was a freshman in college, so this is hitting very close to home for him.

I just wish they lived closer or that we lived closer to them so that we could do more than just send support via email, phone and prayer chains. They are great people and I know that she has told me numerous times that she is very grateful for the friends that they do have there because they have been a tremendous help in their time of need.

Please pray for them to find the strength that they need and hope that Uncle Bruce gets to go home soon.



God Bless and so long for now

Finally!!!

Well we finally have DSL, so hopefully I will be on here more often and be able to keep this blog going like I had originally planned. We had a great time at Disneyworld and you can view all of our pictures at thecacyfamily.shutterfly.com I also uploaded Kyle's 2nd Birthday pics. Boy am I going to be busy scrapbooking the rest of the year! I am still working on a project that needs to be finished that was supposed to be finished a few months ago, then its work on Kyle's baby book and then our Disney trip!

I have to say its the best investment we ever made and thankfully my wonderful husband agrees! All of the kids were so drawn into the magic, as well as Jim and I. I found myself just staring at all of their faces sometimes and getting lost in the moment. I am so glad that I have that many pictures. We still have about 200 more that I am waiting on from Disney's website where the photographers onsite were taking pictures and loading them onto a cd for us.

Kyle is now Mickey Mouse crazy and its great to watch him still get so excited about the things we got him from there!

I have been swamped at work, which is good because it makes the days go by quickly, but it can also be very tiring! My two older kids just got back from their two week visit with their dad and just 24 hours later my oldest is off to church camp! Shelly and I sat in my bed last night with me sandwiched in between her and my hubby to watch Big Brother 10 and Bridezillas! And we drank hot tea out of our Alice in Wonderland tea cups that we bought while at DW. We finally pooped out around 1 am and then had to get up for work this morning. We are planning more girl time for later this week.

Tonight was BUNKO night with the ladies from our church group and it was LOADS of fun. I picked up Martha on my way home from work and we headed straight there. We had 4 tables tonight, and everyone seemed lucky with the BIG BUNKOS tonight!! I am so glad that I talked Martha into going, I think she needed it! We always have so much fun. It is my one night out a month that I look forward to!

I also started a web page for our WOW (Wings Of Women) group through church. (See my link to join above) I am looking forward to working on that more and getting ready for our upcoming luncheon.

Well I better get done here so I can go watch a show and then head to bed!

Until then....God Bless ...kisses & hugs!

So it's midnight...

And I am sitting by the pool watching all the 4 older kids have a blast swimming. Jim & Kyle are fast asleep. We got to go to Hollywood Studios and were able to get in a ride on the StarWars sim & they loved it. Afterwards we leisurely walked to our dinner destination. We had reservations at the 50's Primetime Cafe. The food was really good and the atmosphere was just too cool.

After we get thru swimming we are going to plan our morning for tomorrow (or shall I say later today)!!!

More later. Have a GREAT day at work!!!
