No more snow... yet

So it's been so long since I was able to sit down and write a blog I forgot what it was like.

So over a year, here is my update:

There is no snow on the ground anymore... yet. It is September and you know what comes next, October and right when I get used to writing the 10 on my checks the snow will start to fall. While I enjoy some snow, sometimes. I know I am no where near ready to see the fluffy stuff. Summer blew by this year and we didn't even camp! We didn't even travel! We only went to the pool 3 times!!!

{can I just say I am sooo glad I procrastinated on buying the summer pool pass!!}

Things that have happened lately? Glad you were wondering.

Andrew became a senior!

I only have 1 child in elementary school now!

The Nelson family moved back to Cedar!!

Followed by the Mom and the Dad!!

We currently have 4 cats and 3 dogs living in our house...

along with 5 adults and 5 kids!

Insane you say? Just an average day in my life!

The 5th adult would be Xavier.

That is probably the biggest thing to happen this year.

He had a heart attack, bypass surgery and moved in for a bit to recover. Somehow though he decided he liked it so much here that a couple of months wasn't gonna be long enough so he had a stroke to seal the deal. I can only make light of it now to keep from crying. So here he will stay until I can get him healthy and well enough to be on his own again.

Let me add here that I am so grateful that I am in a position to be able to be of service to him. I love my brother and am honored to help.

So that is how our lives have been. Not too bad, ya know unless I think to hard about the coming snow months. I want a summer do-over... and no takesy-backsies!
