It was a quiet week, but now Michaela is home from camp. She had a great time and did a very good job of not getting home sick. We are very proud of her. I believe she has grown her in faith this past week and has a new and renewed trust and interest in God and the bible.
Although we can tell she has missed picking on her brother greatly. As they have been at each other almost every day.
We will see the nutritionist tomorrow for a follow up, I am curious how she did weight wise at camp. I do have to say she has been eating more since she came home, with I am not arguing about at all.
We have had a fun day today, we went to see Toy Story 3, it was good and Marcus didn't even fall asleep. Score one for us. If they didn't play 15 minutes of previews and ads before the movie it would be much better.
Storms have been very active the last few days, ready for the rain to quit and for it to dry out, I know in a few weeks we will be saying, please can't it rain. Never happy am I.
Have a great week.

Quiet week with just one!
Michaela is at camp this week so it is really quiet around here. I do have to say I really miss her, it is so weird not having her calling someone or picking on Marcus. The hardest part for me is walking by her bedroom and seeing it as she left it. Can I just say it is really hard not to go in there and pick up. I am betting by the end of the week it will be clean before we pick her up.
I have taken this time to spend some good one on one time with Marcus. We started a little preschool time today and spent about 1/2 an hour working on the letters of his name and then I got him on the computer to the Starfall.com website. It teaches Phonics and alphabet letter sounds. So we started out with the ABC part and learning some sounds and then we went to the "at" and "an" families and worked on making some words using them. Writing his name he got a little distracted, but as soon as I told him I was putting him on the computer his attention was better. Just have to work on keeping that thumb out of his mouth so he will say the sounds and things. If I give him the mouse then we are fine, cause he is using that hand. But not always, he just sucks on the other one. Too bad his thumbs are interchangeable, wish they weren't, something more to work on for the summer before he starts preschool in the fall.
I have spent most of the day on the phone with the insurance companies getting things figured out. We were going to supper Saturday nite to meet Steve and his folks. We got hit as we were turning the corner. Well can I just say his Toyota Tundra looks good compared to mom's Buick. We had to have it towed and it is being looked at, I am hoping they call us this afternoon to let us know how bad it really is. We are all ok, just stiff and sore. Mom and Michaela seem to have gotten the worse of it with seat belt rash. But none of us went to the hospital, we were fine. Now the fun reports and insurance stuff. Wish it was easier, but it isn't. Trying to get someone to call me back to get her a rental car, but I am thinking I am not going to hear from them until tomorrow at this point. Kind of frustrating, good thing she doesn't have to work this week.
Otherwise not much else. Maybe I will get this updated more often now that it is summer, HA HA!
Hope you all are enjoying your summer too.
Love to all!

Summer 2010
Can't believe it is already summer vacation time. Don't get me wrong, I was glad to be done with school, just when you feel like it will never end it ends and now it seems like the vacation time is going very quickly.
Looking forward to some lazy days of visiting with family. Missed a fun time today and I do not want to miss anymore. I treasure those times with family.
Michaela is getting ready to head to Camp Rivercrest outside of Fremont on Sunday, her first time at camp and being away from us for a whole week, by herself. She is excited to be going, I am hoping that is the way it stays. She is doing better, her anxiety is getting better which is a good thing. She is seeing a nutritionist to help her know what is good for her to eat and how much she is suppose to eat. I think she is a little overwhelmed by what is expected of her right now. But she is also very close to that number that I told her was unacceptable and wouldn't hesitate to act on it. The nutritionist also told her today she can not drop any further or really doesn't want her to stay the same, she wants her weight up by the next time she sees her or her choices were no longer going to be choices. We are hoping this will work, our whole family is trying to be more consciences of what we are eating and making sure we are having several food groups at every meal.
Michaela got confirmed on Sunday May 30 at our church in Hallam. She was very happy about this. It has been so fun to watch her grow in her relationship with God and her renewed interest in the church. I think these camps will be good for her too. She has become a beautiful young lady and we are very proud of the young woman she is/has become.
Mr. Marcus is just a character. He thinks his birthday is tomorrow everyday. On Confirmation Sunday he was running around with the Toy-R-Us ad showing it to everyone who would listen to him. He was showing them a talking grill which he thinks he needs. He would go up to people and say, "Hey, can I show you something?" It was way too funny. Now he is on some loader truck, man got to love it when they get old enough to ask for everything. The best one this week was he was man at us because Toy Story 3 was not out yet. It was suppose to be out now, when he wanted to see it.
He will be going to preschool at Norris in the fall as a peer model, he is excited about that, he wants to go tomorrow to that too. His time concept is terrible, but what 3 year olds isn't. He is excited to be turning 4 soon and going to school.
Steve and I are doing ok, we are busy with the kids. Steve has been working lots of hours so it has been hard to plan a vacation of any sort. I am hoping I can get him to sit and commit to something here when Michaela is done with one camp and before the next. Would love to get to Minnesota to see Kristal and Ryan, but do not know if that is going to happen yet.
Hope everyone has a great summer, enjoy yourselves.
Love to all!
