Catsmom,
Hoping and praying things go well for your girl and grandson!! I will be keeping both in my prayers. I'm sure she will relax more when you get there. Maybe the little guy will turn yet before the time comes.
MamaBear,
We have good days and we have days when it just seems overwhelming. Hoping your good days outnumber the other ones!!!! Sounds like a good idea that bike ride!!!
Blondie,
Hope things get better for your girl soon. Are there other neighbors around who know something about this guy?
Here's a picture of our latest adventure. Our friends took us to the top of Pikes Peak!! It was amazing, but at 14,110 feet elevation, breathing was a challenge!!!!

Hi everyone, wow I have missed so much! Things have been crazy since we got home. First off
Jean Wow Love the pictures! Aurora is so beautiful! I am so happy you get so much time with her!
Baileys mom, Love the pictures! All of your girls are beautiful too! Brought teas to my eyes.
Hugs to everyone that their girls are leaving soon to boot. I will take the time to read all posts soon.
Finished work for the summer, had lunch with friends, some I haven't seen for awhile! But the biggest is, I have been changing all my flights. Crystal went into labor on Sunday night, was in the hospital all night, and most of Tuesday. Her Labor stopped, but the baby's heart rate kept dropping so low. He eventually stablised. They sent her hom, she is dial aged to 4. She has preeclampsia. They scheduled a c section for July 10, as of today he is still breech. She has been going into medical every other day. Praying he waits till we get there. With it being summer, has been hard to find a flight with seats. They finally found them for us. Cost a bit more, but expected that. Please Pray that all goes well for her and baby.
Blonde, still praying for your girl, and that her situation is better. Sorry I didn't address everyone. Promise to post pics soon. Maybe later tonight, if my computer cooperates. I think I need a new one, mine is getting old.

I know what you are feeling Mamabear, I have 3 daughters that have become friends to me and they are all starting to leave the nest beginning with my youngest sailor. While she was home on leave before her first orders, we all went to Pitch Perfect and just laughed! We had several family gatherings and it was nice to spend even just a few days with her before she drove across the country. Her 2 older siblings are 22 and almost 24 and the oldest will be moving into a condo with her friends come July and the 22 year old still trying to finish a Japanese major in the next 3 years after taking some time off to work and travel to Japan. By August it will be lonely city here! I too picked up extra hours at work and notooking forward to the relationship drought around the corner. Glad to have you all for a stand in for my daughters! Navy Mom Hugs!!

Mommabear...that's the spot I'm going to be in too...two peas in a pod to just me. My husband and I are trying to plan a few things just the two of us since its been 18 years since that's happened! :-) I know I won't go shopping near as much. Somethings I just don't like to do alone.
I'm lining up projects that really should have been done a long time ago to fill time and of course I have my two jobs.
