July Update



Our black lab, Bailey was diagnosed with cancer. He is 11 years old. We went ahead and had surgery done....now we just have to wait and see if it is going to come back. We are so sad! During his weekend of recovery from surgery Nat painted the “racing” stripes on Zachary’s bedroom walls. Only 2 more rooms to go in the house and we have painted everything.

Nat went to the Apraxic conference in Chicago. She wrote an article http://apraxia-kids.blogspot.com/...and received a scholarship towards the conference fees. Lots of good information was learned and new friends were made. My friend Ginger came for a visit....she flew into Midway and then drove with me all the way back to Ohio. We chatted non-stop for 6 hours...Gotta love Ginger! Her visit was too short....

Our friends the Olech’s came and stay for a weekend. We went to the Air Show and the boys went to the Dragon’s game....it was so great to catch-up on each others lives. We are so happy they will be so close....and can’t wait to visit DC!

Nat and Maddie are gearing up for the Kaufman 3 week visit in August. Thanks for hanging in there while I have been non-existent on our blog. I intend to do better in the near future!

So sorry to hear about the diagnosis. How is Bailey doing?

The racing stripes look fabulous! Nat, you're always so good at everything you do...I wanna be like you when I grow up! ;)

We still need to get together!!!! You're the one with the busier schedule, so let me know some dates you'd be available...just send me an email ASAP, ok? Maybe we could get together and watch an OSU game? Just a thought.
