The boys of summer have gone

As we wind down to the end of summer and the beginning of school, I can't help but wonder where the time has gone. All I've managed to accomplish this summer is yard and garden work. We made no trips, did no major family activities and did nothing other than attend baseball games and practices and football practices.

Seems like we spent a lot of our time re-arranging our schedules due to car repairs and the like. How did the time get away from us so fast?

It was a good summer for the most part, except for the various health issues that cropped up. Sherry and her knees, Jared and his pulled muscles and sprains and me with my Menieres disease and the random dizzy spells that accompany it. Didn't go to any Royals games... (Amazing considering we'd been to probably 18 by this time last year!) Have tickets for some games at the end of the month, but hard to believe we still haven't gotten there yet.

Dustin got a job this summer and has worked some hours here and there. Jared played spring/summer baseball, but opted out of fall ball, choosing instead to try football...which is a love-hate relationship for him.
He doesn't like being tackled although he can run like mad when he's got the ball. A sprained wrist already may mark the end of his football career. I hope not...he's a good little player.

Spent some family time with the boys, Sherry, and Dustin's girlfriend, Hannah and played a lot of board games. That seems to be what the boys are into lately...which is fine, and kind of retro. They don't like it that I know 90 percent of the trivia questions, although when they need help with an answer, it seems to be fine...

Kevin and Socks recovered from their Easter dog attack, and seem to be doing well except for they don't let anyone or any dog pass the house without barking at them. I'm hoping this is a habit we can break them of as it is a bit disturbing at times.

I've gotten really lazy at blogging, which is sad because I love to blog... I'll have to make a greater effort to get on here from here on out....  Take care, enjoy the new school year and join with me at scratching your heads in disbelief at the fact that Dustin is going to be a Junior and Jared is starting his last year of Elementary School.... Where did the time go?
