It's been a very busy Summer! Jake has finally finished baseball and we are nearing football season at the end of this month. Jake has been enjoying his Summer with hanging out with friends, pool, camping, golfing, fishing etc. He also is my little helper with my gardening and mowing the lawn. He wants to save his money for a lacrosse stick as he wants to try this sport out next year.
Nicky is coming home at the end of the month - YEAH! It was a very long Summer without him. We missed him a ton! I'm sure I'll see a big difference this year when he returns. We've been keeping in touch via text and the occasional phone calls..:)..he seems to be enjoying his summer and spending time with his brother, Vincent, and baby sister - Katherine.
We've been working on the house and keeping up on all the things that keep you busy with a house. I've taken up another craft (sewing)..like I need another craft in my life..but this one I'm finding very enjoyable and maybe because I have my David at my side to give me encouragement and guide me along. He is quite the talented individual! We started out with a charitable item - making a grocery bag for cancer patients. I'm on my 3rd bag and bought a ton of fabric and some new designs to mix it up a bit. A friend, Lani also was a big help in getting me initially started with the whole sewing adventure and I'm sure glad I dug out the machine.
Jake and I also working on tennis and golf this summer. I didn't realize how much I missed playing tennis. I really need to find some friends who enjoy the game. Now, I need to watch all my activities as it aggravates my bones in my hands/wrist area. Overall, a very busy enjoyable summer.
Nick starts school August 9th and Jake the 23rd so I'll need to get started on Nick's school supplies and get him signed up for Cimarron Football. Let's hope both boys are able to manage their school load along with their sports. Till the next post and hopefully, it won't be too long...
