Still Waiting

We are still here. Still waiting for the Baby to make a grand appearance!! Not much is going on right now. I've slowed down quite a bit this last week. The Karate Kids all "graduated" to thier next level and I missed it. My get.up.and.go has just gotten up and went. Keith is on some new meds that have slowed him down a bit too. We have pretty much turned into couch potatoes over the weekend.

Tomorrow is Ty's birthday. It's hard to believe that he will be 17 already ~ just yesterday he was coming into my life as a new grandson and a new member of our family. I took him today to get his birthday present. I gave him a $ limit for shoes (that was what he wanted for his birthday) and for that amount ~ he got shoes, pants, shirts, cd's, a sweater, and I don't really know what else ~ but he is quite a shopper!!

The middle kids are doing "summer school" here at home in the mornings. S'te gets thier assignments all ready for them each day. Not that they are all that excited about it - but it will certainly help them as they go on to their next grades. Kiah really gets into it - he is doing his current work and delving into the next grade work too!! He's quite "into" schoolwork!! Moreso than the others. After the schoolwork tomorrow the girls are going to bake Ty a cake while he is in school and we have a few other things for him ~ and then on to karate practice for most of them.

We are still on track for closing on the little house in Coos Bay. I am really anxious to see it. We will go after Rod returns from this "underway" and hopefully after the Baby arrives. Rod is due home the 6th and the Baby is "supposed" to be here by the 12th. So all we can do is wait. S'te is getting quite anxious also. So around here it's pretty much a wait and see show!!
