Monthly update

I'm really doing a bad job at keeping this blog updated!! I think I have to cover everything each time I post and I should just give some quick updates and move on. So here it is:
  • Steve's sister is doing great. She ended up getting better and is fully recovered and back at work. We're still keeping our fingers crossed that she will consider moving down here so we can be closer to her :( We miss you, Lynn.
  • Jack is crawling all over the place and will even stand for a few seconds, if he's unaware that he's doing it. Go figure. I've also bartered with a swim instructor to get Jack learning how to float! I'm babysitting the instructors children for an hour each morning and then Jack gets a free swim lesson. He hates it. We're on week two (of 6) and it's Monday-Friday for 10 minutes. Ideally, at the end of the 6 weeks, if he was to fall into a pool, he would know how to roll himself over and float until someone gets him. I think it's great b/c now we can go to the pool and not even pay any attention to him. Just a joke, people! Jack is also turning one on August 27th. This has been the fastest year ever, but the best.
  • Forester is doing well. He just finished another round of chemo and is back home with the family. He feels pretty good most of the time, with the exception of some excessive sleepiness. He really hates being at the hospital, but it makes for a big celebration when he gets to come home. We're all excited about the "Friend of Forester" Braves game on September 6th. 90 people have bought tickets and we're all going to wear t-shirts at the game. Maybe we can get on tv?? That would be fun. I will have to plant a seed somewhere...
  • I finished the Beth Moore study and really liked it, so I'm going to do the next one that's titled "Believing in God", which I have heard is great. This is the first time in my life I have truly enjoyed studying the Bible and learning more about who God is and what he desires for us. Very cool. Outside of that, I'm trying to learn PhotoShop and Illustrator and I'm having so much fun with it. It's unbelievable how much time I can waste just playing around - yikes!
Ok - need to work on Jack's birthday invite, so more later. Night!
