Looks like I'm turning this into a monthly blog! Time flies...

School has started, Kelsie is a working girl, Carli is doing a clinical in pediatrics at the Cleveland Clinic, Tara is still without a functioning Thyroid, Grace is growing up and fits into some of the clothes she had previously grown out of, and I wish that was my problem!!

My nephew was to go home today! I haven't heard whether or not it really happened, but Ted and I visited with him on Saturday. He looked great, albeit very thin. We went down for the OSU game and then Tara and Grace went with us to visit. We figured that Grace would be comic relief in otherwise boring surroundings!

Between school and church involvement I haven't had much time for anything...but am definitely not complaining. I love the September weather (when it's sunny) but am bummed that water sports have come to an end. The water is just too cold for me! I'm sure that Jeremy will still get in...ah, youth.

Next week is Ted's Dad's 90th birthday! What a feat. This week his brother and family from NJ are visiting. Our house will be quite full with his nephew's 4 little ones! Will be good to see them. Then next week his brother and wife from Hawaii will be here to help us celebrate Cletus's actual birthday. Lots of celebrating will be goin' on! We are taking him to the Indian's game on his actual b-day...should be fun.

Pray for Carli...the doctor thinks that her Thyroid is enlarged, so she is having an ultrasound on Wednesday. Let's hope that this is nothing to worry about. She and Tara really do not need to have that in common!!

Grace is growing up so fast...talking...running...thinking she's the center of the universe...(When she's here, she IS)...it is so much more fun with grandchildren! Not that I didn't have fun with my own girls, but this is way more relaxing! As you can see, she LOVES tomatoes from the garden!!
