Father's Day, Glenn's Birthday & Lots of Sickies!

Last week was Father's Day, but Glenn had to work the MOD shift on Saturday until midnight. He had started feeling like he was getting sick on Friday, had to work the late shift on Saturday and then slept in on Father's Day but felt REALLY bad. We tried to make the best of it but he just felt crummy. He went to the doctor on Tuesday and the doctor said that he sounded like he might have pneumonia so he sent him over for some x-rays of his chest. The doctor's office finally called on Friday and told him he definitely had pneumonia and so they put him on antibiotics. In the meantime, I also caught a cough and because this is the contagious kind of pneumonia, I had to go to the doctor to see if the cough that I had was also pneumonia. He knew right off that I didn't but he did put me on the same antibiotic "just in case" and also to help get rid of the cough. I also had my monthly MD Anderson appointment on Friday and they took blood to run tests on the molecular level so I won't get those results back until this week sometime. Dr. Faderl said that he wanted me to come in for another couple of months until he cut me loose from my monthly appointments.

This past weekend was also Glenn's birthday party out at Little House. Of course, since Glenn was sick, he wasn't allowed to do anything but sit and rest......yeah, right!!

The girls got to have a sleepover at Aunt Vicki's and they had a marvelous time. Vicki kept them busy and they got to get up and feed the horses on Sunday morning and then they all got a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub. They are ready for some more "Aunt Vicki time".

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest

We've Been Robbed!!

The girls and I got home today around 5:00 pm, pulled the car into the garage and then unloaded the groceries that I had picked up earlier. I left the garage door opened as I have every day since I can remember. Around 6:30, we heard tires screeching outside and both girls ran down the stairs to see what it was that was making that horrible sound. We went outside and saw the tire tracks on the street but no cars that we could see. About 2 minutes later, I got a call from Glenn on his cell phone and he said that he was chasing down a truck that had been in front of our house loading up the stuff from the garage! He lost them going into an apartment complex near the house. He said they looked pretty cruddy and they were in an old beat up white truck but he couldn't get close enough to get the license plate number. They stole Glenn's electric saw, his new weed eater and his leaf blower that wasn't working very well (too bad!). I am just so glad that he pulled up when
