Dear Grandpa Letter one

Hi Grandpa,

I thought I would take a quiet Sunday moment to write to you and send you a couple of pictures. We have been pretty busy this past week with school up and going and all the activities that have come with that. For the most part everyone is enjoying school. Kylee has a technology class this semester and is really enjoying that. Tia has been loving to play with all her friends which includes both boys and girls. I am happy that they seem like a prett fun bunch. Kade and Abby are still in school heaven. They both have friends, they love learning, and they have a great teacher who does many fun things. Hope loves school too because for the most part she has me to herself. She loves being able to wander around undisturbed touching and playing to her heart’s content. 

Tia, Kade, and Abby are doing swim lessons this year and so far enjoy it. I love that they gain a new skill and are tired for bed. Kylee is still doing dance but is thinking about quitting and doing swim. She has until the end of the month to decide what she is going to do. She is also doing basketball. It’s been a little tricky with all the breaks and things but she seems to think it’s at least okay. 

Jason is still liking his work and is trying to help people, make sure the library has what it needs and troubleshoots a lot of technical problems. He still seems very happy doing his job. 

I am busy running everything else. Trying to keep family dinner time, feed good tasting food to people, run everyone where they need to go and sort of keep the house in order pretty much fills the time. It’s been a little extra lately as I have a ton of doctors appointments to run the kids to. Tia had a well child check. Kylee has had a cyst/stye in her eyelid that we have been working to get gone. Also she has been having chest and lung pain plus daily headaches. We have done tons of tests and imaging to see what was wrong and she looks completely healthy, so now we are looking into anxiety that might be causing these problems. It’s a crazy journey but we are definitely being guided and we will figure it out eventually. 

Life is crazy and fun. I have the best bunch ever to live life with. I am very blessed to be able to have the time and energy to think and care for them.

I hope you are doing well. I sure love you.
