Life can be so busy!

It's been a couple weeks since posting and there's been a lot going on! School is going great for Madeline. She loves it! I'm finally able to just pull up and drop her off and she walks into school without me! I really didn't know when this day would come. lol And she's learning so much. She's excited about school and what they do each day. She says math is boring, but I told her it gets pretty fun after your basic equations. We went to a class play date at Campbell Park last week and it was a joy watching her play and interact with all her school friends.

Well we drove to Missoula, Montana the weekend of the 28th for a wedding. Jeromy's cousin, Nicole, got married and Madeline and I finally got to meet his dad's side of the family. There are a ton of them... His dad has 8 brothers and sisters!! It was a long drive but a fun weekend. Madeline tore up the dance floor. She dance for about 2 1/2 hours! (She's the tiny one in white and pink.) Here are a few pics from the wedding...

Our drive home was awful! The weather wouldn't stop. We hit Spokane and it started raining... by the time we hit Oregon it was a torrential down pour! I was driving and we had taken the camping trailer with us so there were heart stopping moments during that stretch of rain and stupid drivers all around me! lol After leaving Biggs for dinner the rain held up and I caught this beautiful shot of the sun amongst the rain clouds.

Well, it's now Oct. 7th... My grandfather has been very ill and in the hospital. As of Friday we aren't sure how long he has. We were able to take him home yesterday and hospis is coming in tomorrow to take over care. He so badly wants to just fall asleep and go to see my grandmother. She passed away almost 10 years ago and he's never been the same. He's hangin' on to life, but I know he just wants to go. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.

For now... We've got the pumpkin patch coming up, a jr. dance clinic, birthday parties and who knows what else!
