Does life ever slow down?

Posted in Family Life

*Whew*!  July has been BUSY!!  Dh had a brthday, Lamb (2.5yo) had a urology appt to schedule surgery - WHICH HE DOESN'T NEED!! \o/, dh's family arrived for a visit from out of state, we celebrated the 4th at the campground with my Dad - swimming, minigolf, BBQ, ice cream social - DH & the three oldest girls went on a camping trip 4 hrs away for Girl Scouts, in-laws left, Bear (6yob) had Tball & he also went to a playdate/bday party, campers came home... and it's NOT slowing down!

We have another bday in the house next week, more Tball, bowling league, Bunny (11yog) has an appt with the pedi. endo, church meeting, puppy vet appointment, the three oldest have a babysitting certification class - and that's just NEXT WEEK!!

The following week, the FOUR oldest are going to resident camp, the rest of us are going to the fair, the older boys are going to a baseball game & camping with Cub Scouts when the resident campers come home, PLUS bowling league continues.

The LAST week, I'm teaching a cooking class to elementary kids at church (Butterfly 13yog ) is providing childcare, and my 3 elementary dc are going to other classes (Drama & Basketball).

PLUS - the regular day-to-day care of a family of 11, including 3 on the autism spectrum, one a Type 1 diabetic, Twin toddler boys and a 6mo!!!!

Tired yet? *g*

I'm NOT complaining!  I love my life.  God has so blessed us - beyond my wildest dreams.

Oh, and I'm doing lesson plans for 1st semester.  THAT'S another post!

Peace,

Katie

Sounds like y'all have a lot of fun things planned! Life is busy with a large family - but who would trade any of the blessing that comes with it!!!

Hope your endo appt goes well. We have one next week too. Hoping things will start to even out around here and that we are DONE with germs for awhile!

Love
Leslie
