Things have been pretty good but busy around our house. Ben has been home for the summer. The girls have been attending daycare part time, then hanging with Dad in the afternoons. Ben spends the mornings either working on stuff for cross country, doing stuff around the house, or running errands.
We just celebrated our five year wedding anniversary on Saturday! It was pretty anti-climatic, but we'll be going out for a nice date in Austin this weekend, which we're looking forward to.
Betsy and Ella are sweet, busy girls. They are best friends. They love school. They sleep well, eat tons of fruit, and can wreck a clean playroom in 90 seconds. Ella has been visiting the ENT every couple months for a hearing test but she passed her most recent test and she's been talking up a storm since she got her ear tubes in the Spring.
Sweet HusBen took a man trip the first week of the month, with his dad, my dad and lots of the dudes in the family. They fished (didn't catch much), hiked, shot guns, and rested. I think he enjoyed it.
While Ben was gone my mom came to town to help with the girls. We kept things pretty low key, but there was ice cream, playgrounds, bouncy houses and spoiling that was enjoyed by all (most often by the littlest family members).
My health is pretty stable. I'm still on my mega dosage of my medication, but I have some really good days where I feel like my old self. I've been writing, I've been sewing, I've been getting my house in order, and hanging with the girls.
So, FYI, we're alive and kicking! We're busy, I'm tired pretty early at night but we've had a great summer and we're looking forward to the last few weeks left.
