Catch Up

Ok so I haven't posted in quite a while. Sorry! Here is a recap of things from the past couple of weeks:

• Krista still hasn't gotten a bike helmet.

• I started my bowling league with Heather & Melissa on our team, "Can't Touch This". We have done two weeks now (we pre-bowled on Friday instead of tomorrow). Melissa got a 98, 196 and then a 90! That is crazy! I have been more consistent with everything between a 120 and 150.
• Kevin and I just committed to bowling every other Saturday with Kyle & Heather and Eric & Kristi. It worked out perfect because that is the Saturday we don't have the kids. However, that is a lot of bowling! I am already worried that my left arm will be much stronger than my right because of this and it will be noticeable!
• Kevin and I went camping for the final time at Aunt Karen's for Labor Day weekend. She is moving in October and it is going to be so hard. For her and for me. To know that she is leaving the house her and my uncle built together as their dream, crushes me. She knows she can't maintain all that land herself and that she needs to leave, but I don't think her heart is ready for it. I took a bunch of pictures that I hope to post soon for those of you not lucky enough to have seen the natural beauty.
• The kids started school last week and so far, so good! Makenzie is loving it as she always does for the first couple of weeks. Things may be different though with a chance at a cell phone dangling in front of her. I am honestly considering dangling that in front of her for the rest of high school! Tyler of course is doing well and looking forward to the fact that it is his last year. He started filling out college applications for GVSU, Western and MSU.
• Kevin's "good" knee has been bothering him for about a month now, swollen with water on it. Tuesday night he did something to it at work and started limping. Wednesday morning his knee, calf and ankle were swollen to about 3 times its normal size. Yet, he went on his guys canoe weekend! Boys! They are such dorks! I will say though that the swelling has gone down and he isn't in nearly as much pain. He is getting an MRI done tomorrow morning so hopefully, they will figure out what is wrong.
  

• Because Kevin was gone this weekend, I spent my second weekend ever alone! And I handled it quite well! Friday I met up with some friends at Z's, met Heather, Melissa, April, Kyle & Zachary to bowl and then headed over to Kyle & Heather's for a bit. Saturday I was lazy all morning and then started to do some major "fall" cleaning. Saturday night Steven & Melissa invited me over for dinner and I stayed there until about 11:00. I haven't seen my nephews in a while and they change so fast! Tristen can count to 100 now and rides the bus to school, Nathaniel is talking so much more now and Pierson is getting to be such a stinker. You can see it in his eyes. I will post some pictures of them soon too.
• Andrea started her new job today! Welcome to the other side Andrea! I got a quick Email from her today and so far, she was loving it! Yea!

Ok, that seems like enough to appease you. I will post more this week....promise!
