Whew! Had a great weekend, and we are right back at it today! Saturday night was AWESOME - thank you Karen :) We both had steak, it was delicious! The hot tubs were also wonderful - I told Kyle it was a good thing we talked at the restaurant, because once we were in the hot tub, both of us just sat staring into space!

This morning I woke up at 4:30 AM and thought I may as well get up because if I force myself to go back to sleep, I'll be DRAGGING at 6:00, so I got up, made muffins for breakfast tomorrow, made pancakes for this morning, did three loads of laundry, and loaded and ran the dishwasher. I was also just about ready to go by the time we got the kids up at 6:40 AM. GO BETH! Started the day off great...good thing because work SUCKED today...boy was I CRABBY!

Jill and Dad are gone taking Kaila and Nick to see Susan today for her birthday. We are keeping Maria and Xave in exchange...boy are those kids well trained. There was a day when Mia wanted nothing to do with me, but now when she needs Momma she says "I want Beth"...of course that has me CHEESING!

Today is also DAD HAMLIN'S birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB/DAD/GRANDPA!!! Zach even managed to call Grandpa on his own to wish him a happy birthday!

Finally, Kyle had his yearly checkup with the oncologist today. Still cancer-free - 6 years and counting!!! However he does have to go to Dr. King's and start thyroid meds because the radiation damaged that area. Dr. Boxer told Kyle today that it really was only a matter of time.

We have a busy week this week, with lots of photo ops, so stay tuned!!
