We are on our way into a good school year and routine. Jacob starts his school September 2nd. Em is in her second week of school and enjoys it. Amy is now taking her to school in the mornings. This makes me a bit sad but it is ok. She likes to ride with them. We are doing good. Chris is also into another semester of school. That degree is getting closer! I am so proud of him for doing it. Jacob is growing so fast. There is no remnant of the little baby I once had. He is all boy and so special to me. He is so laid back and easy to have around. He plays on his own and learns very quickly. Em is getting bigger everyday. Well, lets not say bigger but taller. LOL She is discovering her voice and self. I think she is realizing she is her own person now and can make decisions for herself. She is still my sweet natured, loving child and I hope it stays that way for as long as possible. For myself, I am doing ok. I am still a little out of wack. The loss of our baby was a big blow to me. I finally miscarried around 9 1/2 weeks. It was a long road. It is getting better and a bit easier but I don't think the sadness from it will ever be gone for good. I have been having trouble with my leg as well but thank God there is no cancer recurrence. It is more mechanical issues that they can't seem to find. It is frustrating but I have to live with it. I am not exactly wanting to rush into another surgery anytime soon. I am focusing on what I have and how special my family is. The positives. I have a lot of them. Despite all I have been through lately I am still in high hopes of a good life and family. I love being a Mom and feel so blessed I am able to stay home to see them grow. A long time ago, after all my cancer stuff I learned to stop and love the little things if life. I love all the little faces my kids make and what they look like when they see something new for the first time. It is priceless. I want to expose them to all the good in the world and shelter them from all the bad for as long as I can. I will preserve their innocence for as long as possible. Wouldn't it be great if we could live in their world? Upcoming events include a visit to Greenbriar to see Linda, Blake, Gina, and the boys. A visit from Anthony and Windy and a trip to Branson.
