Musings of a mom

Oh, how I am missing the days of getting you kids ready for school! Finding the times and days to take each of you shopping and knowing that each of your personalities would show themselves. There was always the possibility that I would have to eat at Cheddar's or Don Pablo's three days in a row. But I was willing to sacrifice for the "greater good" of having my children prepared for school! Now fast forward many years and some of my children (Matthew, Andrew, and Kristine) are still preparing for school, but not with my help and not as students, but as teacher/coaches. What an awesome chance to influence our world through those young lives.

All of this musing to say that I am missing you all! Kristi is on an airplane as I blog headed to South Carolina for Megan's bachlorette party and Ryan is at home missing her I am sure. Matthew has his first teaching day today and of course Courtney is continuing to "teach her children well" at home. Andrew and Kristine are winding down private lessons this week as the gear up for team play and teaching! That brings us to your dad and I. Your dad continues to struggle with the changes that are happening in health care and how he will allow them to effect him. He did purchase a new computer system that is being installed. The "go live" date is the first part of October. The bigger issue now is whether or not he should pursue employment by the hospital and what that might look like. We are trying to hear from God and would also ask that you would be in prayer for us. I would love to hear from all of you as we share what is happening in our lives.

I am busy helping grandma with painting at her house. We have many decisions that need to be made there as well. Some of these decisions will probably be discussed this next week as Phil will be here.

Can I just say that I hate going 6 months without all of us being together! I love you all and would challenge you all to BLOG, BLOG, BLOG!
