Yes, I am still here. Things got crazy busy in our lives again and I needed to just focus on our family, friends and home. It has been nice to take a break from blogging, even though I do love sharing my life with all of you. My priority is and always will be, my family.
Baseball season is in full swing for our oldest two grandsons Bradley and Isaiah. Jeff and I are trying to make sure that we get to go to as many of their games as possible. They are playing in different leagues this year so we are having to figure out which games to go to when and keeping things as even as possible. We look forward to their games and being able to see our older kids too. ;)
We recently got back from Utah where we spent a week with our youngest two grandkids, Peyton and Tate. Josh and Lauren had an out-of-town commitment and needed a short few days of vacation, so we went down to take care of the kids. We had a lot of fun watching Tate play soccer and doing some fun things with both he and Peyton. Grammie here finally has a little girl to do her hair and dress up, and I had a wonderful time doing just that. We took our dog Maggie with us down there and she enjoyed being part of a pack. She also got a new bed out of it, which she absolutely loves.
This coming weekend we are going to celebrate both Mother's Day and our middle grandchild Steven's birthday a little early. It has been a bit since the whole family has been able to get together. We have all been stretched in different direction and trying to find a time that works for all of us has been a challenge.
The garden is taking up a lot of our time, but it is very worth it! I found some great deals on plants and will be making hanging baskets soon. I also need to get the lettuce, bok choi and spinach seeded in. Jeff has done an amazing job getting the raised beds ready for me. I just need to get out there and get er done! ;)
These next two weeks are going to be busy with medical appointments and surgeries for our family. I have my regular quarterly doctor's appointment so I can get my medications monitored. I have bloodwork to do and luckily already had my mammogram which looked good. Jeff has his pre-op appointment for his knee surgery next week, followed by the actual surgery the following week. Our Rachel tore her ACL and is going to be having surgery to repair that during this same time period. Her sister, who has the most beautiful heart, is coming up to help her and Jaysn with Steven and to help their mother if she needs it. We had joked that if Jeff and her had surgery close together, that I would give up my recliner and they could watch movies together while they both healed. Well, they are having their surgery within a few days of each other and the offer is still open. ;) I have a feeling that both Rachel's sister and I are going to have our hands full trying to keep these two resting and not going stir crazy. LOL! Yes, they are both not ones to rest much and tend to focus on all the things they think need to be done right then. And yes, Rachel, I know you will read this and giggle because I am spot on. Love you!
I need to leave this here now since I need to take a shower and get ready to go to Isaiah's game. Today has been a busy day for me already and I have gotten a lot done despite being tired. Be blessed all!
