Wow, it has been almost a month since my last blog. Things are so busy that by the time I sit down for the evening, I'm to tired and drained to write a blog.
My business is doing well. We are up to almost 30 kids. We have had some staffing issues, but I think they are starting to work out and settle down.
Alyssa is having a very rough time with the long hours I am putting in at work and so we have had lots of melt downs and issues.
Colin is doing ok. He has had more apnea issues and I have scheduled an appointment with a new doctor the end of July for a second opinion. He seems to be adjusting better to the long hours, but his health is a concern being away from home for so many hours a day.
Chris is doing well, he is working 7 days a week and at least 10 hours every day. We miss him and are looking forward to August when his schedule will hopefully slow down.
Mom was here for about 2 and a half weeks off and on. It was nice to see her, and the kids loved spending time with her, with and without me. They enjoyed mornings lounging around the house while I went to work, and enjoyed Grandma picking them up early to play.
We went and visited my Grandpa on Father's Day. The kids did a fantastic job that day and seem to enjoy going to his house, even though he has nothing for them to play with. That was a fun day because Chris surprised me the morning of, telling me he didn't have to work that day so we were able to go down as a family.
The kids and I with my mom went to Grant's farm one weekend and the kids had a blast feeding the goats, watching an elephant show and riding a train.
It has been a good month, but just incredibly busy. This weekend we get our first weekend at the lake since Memorial day. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend of swimming, boating, naps and laughter.
