One Month

It has been one whole month since I last blogged. Shame on me! It has just been so busy that one thing after another has popped up and I have not taken the time to sit down and write. I think the easiest way is to catch up with a few bullet points and then start over again....

• I am loving my new oven that I blogged about last. It has been wonderful to get back in the groove of cooking meals without the use of a crock pot or small convection oven.
• July 4th was great. It was low-key because Ronnie had to work but we did enjoy pizza and fireworks!
• Cooper's new favorite TV show is Curious George and he loves to walk around and say "Hhhuuuhhhhhhh!" just like George. It is the cutest thing!
• My sister and I made the Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls and they were awesome!
• We got a new puppy and her name is Aubie (War Eagle!) So far she has been great and the boys love her.
• Connor spent 8 days with my parents! He had a blast and got to do lots of fun things. He also stayed with my Mom's mom and my Dad's parents during the week. I am so blessed that my boys have grandparents and great-grandparents that are a huge part of their lives. 
• We went to the museum one day and the boys had fun.
• We have been swimming a lot and reading a lot!
• We visited with one of my greatest friends and her children this past week. The kids had fun and I was so glad we could catch up.
• Ronnie is surprising Connor this week with a day trip to Six Flags! He has asked all summer to go and it is finally working out that they can. I can not wait for Connor to wake up Weds morning and have to get dressed and go!

I think this pretty much sums up the past month, now on to what is going on now...

• Ronnie had a follow-up visit for his cornea transplant from October 2010. He has a cataract that has developed as a side effect from the steroid he has to take everyday. Needless to say we are concerned. He has surgery on August 14th to remove the cataract and we pray that it goes smoothly. There is a risk that it could jeopardize the transplant. Would you remember to say a prayer for us? We know that God is in control!
• Connor starts 1st grade in 3 weeks and Cooper starts Pre K3 in 5 weeks! I can not believe the summer is almost over and that my boys are growing up. 
• I am gearing up to sew/embroider a little more! 

Happy Sunday!
