Summer Update

I am sorry, it's been awhile since I last updated my blog.  Life has been ... hectic to say the least.

Our 6 year old daughter had surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids.  She was in a lot of pain, it's taken her about 10 - 15 days to recover.  I had no idea it would be such a painful recovery process.  I am very glad we decided to do the surgery over the summer!

Our oldest daughter is at sleep away camp this summer, it's the first time she has been away from home.  I am so excited for her but I have missed her so much, it hurts.  Not just because she is my biggest help with her siblings but because even though she is the oldest - she is still my baby.  She comes back home this weekend and I cannot wait to hug her tight.

Our 4 year old and 10 year old are at my parents house for about 2 weeks so we only have two kids at home right now.  WOW - who knew having kids was so easy.  Two kids at home is no work at all when you compare it to having five kids home all the time.  We ordered a pizza tonight and half of it was left over - unheard of.  =)   It might sound crazy but I miss having everyone here under one roof.  It makes me feel nervous to have everyone so scattered.  "They'll all be home soon enough", my hubby says.

I want to make a promise to myself to keep up with this blog.  I still need something that belongs to me and I really do enjoy writing my blog and reading others.  I am going to try very hard to post on a more regular basis.

I hope everyone is having a great summer.  I just realized mine is almost over ... it's time to go buy school supplies for all the kids.
