Let the countdown begin!

22 days from today my baby boy will be starting his first day of kindergarten! Oh My Gosh! I'm trying to prepare myself but I don't think it's really going to help! I can't believe it's here already and I'm sure from here on out it's going to FLY by! I hope he does well...I think he will I just am dreading any phone calls from the school discussing his behavior. As some of you know Ethan can get angry at times and it's hard but I think he is doing much better than he use to. So I guess we will just see how it goes and go from there...I also think that once he gets into school they mature so much more. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me but I think he's just getting older and knows how to do and control a lot more of his actions sometimes.
My baby girl is doing good...trying to say more words everyday and throwing fits! She is defnitely hitting her terrible twos and saying NO ALL THE TIME! That is her most favorite word! lol I remember that Ethan was worse when he was 3 but I'm not sure what she's going to be like at 3! Uh oh! Besides that Amy still sees Emma every week and she loves her to death! I'm very thankful for that!
Last weekend when we all went to Archiver's it was so much fun! I actually got something done for once! lol
Sarah I'm sorry to hear the results about Jacob I'm sure he's sad but it will eventually be okay. I know that's easy for me to say but I just want you to know that all of you guys are in my prayers. That is awesome by the way what Ryan sent him in the mail...I bet he was absolutely beside himself! :-)
This past week went pretty good...we had to get the van fixed before our vacation next week so that was kind of sucky but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.
This weekend so far has been pretty good. Yesterday Ethan had his last swimming lesson which I can't believe that it's over already but he did learn quite a bit. He can't swim completely on his own yet but he's doing much much better. We also had another yard sale at our house yesterday and that went okay but nothing big let me tell you! I thought it was such a beautiful day we would have a lot of people and apparently they were all doing other things! :-) It did make me quite upset though because when I went around to take down all the signs one of my signs was down and folded in half and I opened it up and it said, "It's Rude and Unchristian to take down or cover other peoples signs." I was shocked because when I put my sign up there was nothing there...oh well I guess it just completely shocked me! After the sale my friend Ellyn came over with her daughter Rylee and the kids ran through the sprinker and played in the baby pool that we have. They had so much fun and when they were done playing outside we came in ordered Chinese for dinner and the kids played inside for a while. Emma and Rylee love each other and every time they see each other they have to give one another a great big hug! It's real cute! That was pretty much the end of the night and today I'm not sure what we're going to do. We might go to the pool or maybe into Woodfield...I'm not sure yet.
This coming week not a whole lot going on...Amy is coming to see Amy and we're getting ready to leave for vacation. We're going back to PA where Josh is from. We haven't been back there in about 4 and a half years so we think it's about time! We're staying with Josh's best friend from college for a couple days and going into Pittsburgh and then we're headed to his grandpas house for a couple days. His grandpa lives where the Steeler's Training Camp is so we will be going there for day and maybe getting autographs and/or pics. We are also going to Penn State for a day which is going to be awesome! I can't wait and I will be buying some stuff! :-)
One of our last days there we are going to this theme/waterpark back there which is suppose to be really nice. That will be fun for the kids. I'm not really looking foward to the ride but we'll get through it! When we return home I have to register Ethan for school and we're going to Magic Water's on Saturday before returning to work on Monday...this is the 18th! Josh and I are celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary on Monday the 11th! 3 more years and we're going to take a really nice much needed vacation all by ourselves. Okay well I have to go for now but I hope all is well with all of you. Until next time...
