1st week of School!

Well today is Friday--it has been a long week too.  Of course it was the 1st week of school which meant going to bed early and getting up early.  Surprisingly, it all went relatively smoothly on that aspect, Sean even wanted to go EARLY the last 2 day so he could eat breakfast at school.  He finally figured out football, likes hitting people and got his 1st bloody nose----coach shook his had and told him he did great!  Sean was so excited about that.  He was proud of himself and I have to admit I was pretty darned proud of him myself.

Unfortunately,  my beautiful niece Brinley is back down at Cook's Children's Hospital in Fort Worth.  She is going to have a Cardiac Cath in the morning so of course our entire family is praying for Queen B.  She is about to have heart surgery # 2 any time now I am sure.  Sweetest, happiest baby you have ever seen.  (Sean is a little bit jealous of her of her since I talk about her so much).

Trip and Jacob, my twins, live in Richmond, Virginia with their dad.  It has been a lot of stress and worrying about them this week as well.  Earthquake early this week and now Irene moving up the east coast.....sigh.  So much stuff happened this week...

So ready for fall, I know it is still hot but did make 2 pots of soup this week.  Vegetable beef with cornbread and chicken noodle soup.  Sean is asking for potato soup----he will have to wait for grandma to make that one but I guess I need to have her teach me or show me how she makes it because he loves that soup!  Think I am ready for some homemade chili as well------at least in my mind I can think it is starting to cool down :)
