I know it's been FOREVER!!!

So I don't really know where to start and I'm sure I will forget to mention some things. Ethan is getting ready this coming week to take his Kindergarten Pictures! I am excited and I hope they turn out good. His kindergarten year is going really good for him so far. He has already learned 30+ words! Yea! I do love his teacher also and I was afraid of the school he was going to but it has turned out great!
To back up a couple weeks. It was the 20 year death anniversary of my cousin that died in a car accident and just last week it was the 2 year death anniversary of my mom's death. I have been kind of down in the dumps about both of those. It's extremely hard but I try to deal with it everyday. I'm pretty much okay or as good as you can be about Amy's death now that it's been 20 years but my mom's is still very very fresh and I miss her sooooo much everyday. It is those simple things like calling her on the phone or dropping my kids off for the night or just asking her for something that I might need that I can't ask anyone else for....Since my mom died I have been very distance with all of my family and I don't really speak with any of them to much at all anymore and that's really hard too. Recently though I have been talking to my sister and cousin on Facebook. That has taken over my online computer time recently...Facebook and Myspace.
Amy Emma's therapist is still coming to see her once a week and some weeks are good and some weeks not so much but I do have to say it is definitely an improvement from where she started. :-)
This weekend we were suppose to go down and see my best friend in Bloomington that I haven't seen since May and we've already reschuduled a couple times because her kids were sick and now Emma got sick on Friday at school and so I had to reschedule with her again! Emma is feeling better now I think or hope. She threw up a couple times at school on Friday afternoon and had a slight temp. I got her home and no more throwing up but she's had a temp since today. Not a whole lot went on this weekend. Went grocery shopping, out to luncn and today I feel like the laundry is never going to END! I'm real bad about getting really backed up on laundry.
This coming weekend I'm taking Emma to go see Playhouse Disney at the Metrocenter and then off to Sarah's for scrapnight! Then that following Monday I have off work. Josh and I are going to try and go and do something by ourselves. :-)
I bought my children's halloween costumes a week ago and Ethan picked out a storm trooper from Star Wars and Emma is going to be Snow White.
My dad is having surgery on his bladder this coming Tuesday to see if the Cancer has spread at all. Please cross your fingers and say a prayer that everything is okay. I can't imagine losing my dad anytime soon...
I feel like I'm all over with different subjects but whatever comes to mind I write about! :-) I put up all of my Halloween Decorations last weekend and Emma loves it. Everyday when we leave the house she has to say goodbye to the pumpkin leaf bags that we filled and put in our yard.
So far this fall we have made it out to the Apple Orchard that looks so wonderful again but not the Pumpkin Patch yet...that is coming though. I am also looking foward to going to all the upcoming craft shows. :-)
Well I can't really think of anything else to say right now but I hope you're all doing well. Until Next Time...
