Not much happening around here...

...and I'm not complaining! Summer vacation officially started last week and we've been enjoying it so far. I will say though, the first full day of us all being home together, I thought I was ready for school to restart. The girls weren't getting along and it was just havoc around here. It's going to start picking up next week. Katie and Maddie are both in tennis camp all week, we're off the week after that, then another week of camp (volleyball)...then VACATION! We're meeting my sister in Alabama, then driving to Panama City, FL for 5 days. Then, we're driving back to Oklahoma for another week. I haven't taken more than one week off at a time since I either had a really sick child or was on maternity leave! Wow...2 weeks...I'm so excited! And to be able to spend it with my sister!!!! We'll have a blast! The girls have no idea about the Florida part....this is going to be a surprise so hopefully when I tell them, I can capture some pics and post them.


On another happy note...I am so excited that Ellie's xray's have been sent to Dr. Mackenzie for his review. Colleen Ditro is so awesome!!! She literally answered a email I sent to her on the same day. To boot, it was Mother's Day on the first day I wrote to her! Isn't that great!?!

Enjoy the "down time" while you have it! I just booked a condo for Panama City Beach! We're going in October. I've never been there (actually, I've never been to Florida, sad, but true) so you'll have to let me know how it goes. Have a great time!

Awesome! 2 weeks of pure fun! I hope you all have a great time and I can't wait to see those "surprise we're in Florida pictures! Glad to hear that Dr. Mackensie will be checking out Ellie's stuff! I have heard great things about him! Dupont is a great hospital, we see Dr. Bober and Dr. Kruse there. Sonya is now having some C spine instability too and we are in the wait and see stage. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed and keeping Ellie in our prayers!!! Have a great 2 weeks! :)

Wow - 2 weeks vacation - have a great time!! I can just imagine how surprised the girls will be when you tell them that you are going to Florida! Looking forward to seeing pictures!
That is awesome that Colleen got back to you the same day and that Dr. Mackensie will be looking at Ellie's x-rays!

Oh how fun! Vacation is always something to get excited about. You must take lots and lots of photos!
So when do you get the results of Ellie's x-rays? Keeping my fingers crossed for the greatest results.
I also have to say-we have a lot of the same tastes in music. Did not know you were also a big DMB fan! Love him!
