catch up time

wow...I didn't know there could be so many big events in such a small period of time! We have had quite the whirlwind around here the last 2.5 weeks. If I go into detail it will be the longest post in the history of blogging so instead I will try and summarize. It will be difficult because each event does deserve their own post but because I was so overwhelmed I needed to take a blog break and let it all settle in before I tackled it all, so here we go.

August 16- Ms. Mckynna Therese made her debut and about 4:30 in the morning. I am now an aunt! I was on bed rest and was not able to go to the hospital but I was able to see her when they came home and she is beautiful! I thought I had more pictures of her but I don't so here is a picture of she and Ms. K.

August 16- Yes, you are reading this right the date is the same as above. Kerry (my sister-in-law) married Mr. Chris Lewis at 5 in the evening. she looked beautiful from what I saw in the pictures because again, I could not attend this event so my mom and hubby took lots of pictures!

August 17- Grandma started to go downhill fast. We knew this was it so we were over there every minute we could be.

August 24- grandma passed away after a long and hard fought battle with COPD. She was as strong and gracious in death as she was throughout her whole life. We will miss her greatly but she could not be in a better place. I feel very lucky that Ms. K and Mr. B were able to have such a great relationship with her. They both loved her more than anything. Words can not describe what a special lady she is... we love you Grandma!

August 24- I came off bed rest and brethine, Owen could come at any time as I am already 1 cm.

August 26- Brendan has meet the teacher for his first time at preschool...

He was so excited and had been looking forward to this for weeks. As we arrived at preschool (Gigi was with us) my mom got a phone call from my sister saying she was bleeding bad. We rushed Brendan in to meet his teacher and see his room then sped to Megan's house to take her to the emergency room. She ended up having to have surgery and stay the night in the hospital. So many emotional highs and lows at this point.

August 27- went to the doctor's and I am dilated to 2 cm. Had to go back on the medicine to make sure Owen did not come before the services for Grandma.

August 28- Mr. B's first day of preschool...

He was very excited until it was time for us to leave. Then the tears started. We have had tears everyday since. When we come to pick him up he has a big smile and tells us all the fun things he does so we know he likes it. I think there have just been too many big life changes for a 3 year old. We hope in the coming weeks life will slow down a bit and we can get back into our routine.

All right, I think I am caught up on the craziness we have called our life for the past few weeks. i think I am ready to return to the normal blogging routine.
