Hey girls! An update on me
Goodness I've missed you guys. I am working full-time out of the house again. I am an adminstrative assistant to two partners in a company that does wetland and stream restoration. I love it. Overall, we are all doing well. DH has struck to his diet and hasn't smoked since the hospital stay. So, everything looks wonderful for him. He just has a list of drugs a mile long. We are experimenting this summer with the girls eating gluten. Beth seems to be ok but Samantha's beautiful skin is a mess. I am feeling it is related. She is whinier too. I am off gluten as I cannot tolerate it at all anymore.
We've got our pool up and grill and swim every night. The girls are at my mom's during the day which is both a blessing and nightmare. What they ate yesterday was ridiculous. I can understand "grandma" treating them but she seems to be forgetting she sees them everyday now and treating that much is going to ruin their health.
I'm rambling. I'm blessed to have found a job that values my contribution and my family.

Lauren,
Look at how big your kids are getting. What a beautiful family.
Heather,
I can't believe Simon is three already. No the girls are not returning to HC next year. Beth would only have one year left and after some troubles with my family, we have decided I need the girls someplace where they are more on their own. They will go to Hooper. They are excited. We love HC but with family working there, it was not working.
Wow! I was just thinking about you and wondering how you have been faring. It was seriously just two days ago! Glad to see you back and glad to hear that you are enjoying your work.
