RAIN much needed!

So much for hanging out at the pool the final week of our pool being open! Tropical Storm Faye has dumped tons of rain on us. I can't complain as we really needed it. Our lawn was terribly thirsty and now that means Audy will have to mow it again soon. He's gotten out of mowing it alot this summer.
The Newman and Padilla's are all healthy and doing well. Katie is in her second week of homeschooling and the kids are adjusting. I really should say, Jessalyn is adjusting! This is Bryson's 3rd year and Jessalyn 1st year homeschooling. Katie said, the first couple of days Jessalyn would complain, "I am tired or I am hungry". And Katie had a talk with her about her attitude and would she say that to Ms. Karen? Ms. Karen was her K4 teacher last year whom she loved dearly! Jessalyn's answer was, "no"! So now they have that cleared!
I enjoyed hearing both of them tell me what they learned about the "Vikings" and it was part of history I had forgotten about. I got to help them with their craft project and it came out so cute (should have taken pictures!).
The first Friday of the month Jessica is going to come to the house and do Art with the kids. She is going to teach them the basic stuff about colors and do some crafts. Katie is looking forward to this time because she gets to spend time with Molly. Katie and I did some dreaming for Jess and it would be so much fun for Jessica to expand her talents to the other homeschooler's. She is so gifted and loves doing that sort of thing. Who knows what will open up in the future for her.
Skip and Jessica are doing good. Skip went back to the doctor and they adjusted his pain medication for the middle of the afternoon. That is when he's out with clients and getting in and out of the truck, walking and etc...is rough. Since doing that he says he's in better control. Poor guy dealing with the pain!! The big appt. comes when we get back from the beach....
Jessica stays busy with her home and Molly. And Molly is changing so much each day. They found out the other day she LOVES macaroni and cheese (baby food) just like her daddy and cousin Bryson. I think Jess has covered all the foods so now she gets to taste just about anything. She is going through a growth thing because she drinks all of her bottle and eats most of her food!
I am waiting for an email from my boss when I exactly go back to work. I am ready to get back in the swing of things. My knee still gives me trouble from time to time and I just ignore it and do what I have to do. Chalking it up to old age!
**19 days until the BEACH*** Pray we have beautiful weather and no hurricanes!
