The Last Days of Summer

Summer has ended for me. I went back to work on Monday and Garrett started daycare! There were tears the first day and times I wanted to cry every other day, but held it in! In the end we both made it through, he better then me...lol!

Before the summer ended, we had some fun! We have spent many evenings outside trying to keep Garrett awake before bath and nap and watching Corbin ride his 4-wheeler!

Robert and I finally went on a date! My great friends, Annie and Dana Allen volunteered to watch Garrett one night while Corbin was with his friend, Kyle! We went to eat at Texas Roadhouse and were back before 8:30 p.m. Which means we were only gone about two and a half hours, but it was nice to get out! The next night, I went with Robert and Corbin to the races at Hickory Motor Speedway while Cyndi stayed with Garrett! They have a few different races of late models and various types of cars. We had a great time together and Corbin enjoyed having both of us to himself again! We have a membership to the pool in our area, but it has been hot and it has concrete all around and I have been hesitant to take Garrett as pale as he is! So, this has been a place for Corbin and I to go and have some one-on-one time and just relax. Robert isn't really a pool person so he stays home with Garrett! Finally though, our Sunday School class had a party from 8 pm to 10 pm and we went and took Garrett! He liked it, but was still a little young to understand what he was suppose to do. One of our friends let us borrow the float her one year old didn't want to stay in and he loved that! It was a good time.

I have also had some issues with my incision from my C-section this month and had to return to the doctor. It has bleed at times and been extremely uncomfortable and is still having a discharge. The doctor looked at it and didn't think it was infected that it was just healing, but went ahead and gave me an antibacterial creme to put on it 3 times a day! Robert has to put the creme on it and cover it with guaze and tape because it is in an odd spot for me to reach it! I would have to hold a mirror to see it and that would make it hard to get the creme on and tape it up! Most days it's only 2 times due to how busy we are and especially when the kids come back to school on Tuesday, I will have no time for Robert to doctor it!

School begins for students on Tuesday. I ask that you pray for Robert and I to be the best we can be for our students and for Corbin that he have a good year! Pray that Garrett doesn't get sick too often at daycare as Mommy is out of days and Daddy doesn't have many either!

Have a blessed week!
