Back from the "Other Side"

So, for the last two weeks I have been near death sick. We went on vacation to San Diego and Provo and it about killed me. I got home and managed to catch the flu, which then unleashed a dormant virus that caused me to have canker sores in my mouth and on my lips. I literally didn't eat for over a week and lost more than 10lbs. Not fun! I am back to eating now and feeling and looking good. Finished the class from Hades and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things on Tuesday. The girls start school on the 15th and get to meet their teachers on the 8th. They both already know their teachers, but it is fun none the less. We are crazy busy as always and trying to keep up with life.

Making it!

We have been keeping quite busy lately. Since I was down for a week or more, the house has been a disaster! Getting it back in shape has been no easy task either because I am so horribly tired all the time. My doctor said I would be for a while, but I am tired of being tired! I also have started school after a brief, month-long, hiatus and am quickly remembering how time consuming that is. The girls had a nice two week break from their school and will start again this week. Dance recital time is upon us; last week was picture week and this week we have dress rehearsal and the recital. It is an exciting, but very busy time of the year. We had a nice Father's day with Brady and love and appreciate him so much! I will try to post some pictures of what we have been up to lately soon. On a sad note, Mrs. Buff passed away last week. She was the biggest of the chickens and couldn't handle the heat when it got over 100 degrees. We miss her and miss her delicious eggs. The chicks are doing well and the other two ladies are hanging in there. Brady installed misters in the coups and hopefully that is helping. The babies look so cute with their little wet heads and feathers sticking up and the ladies have come to hate being wet a little less. We are making it!
