Okay, Okay...... an UPDATE..... Sheesh!

Okay, so long time, no blogging, eh? Didn't really mean to neglect my blog.... just been pretty busy, doing other things. I love being on Facebook, and that takes up most of my computer time for now...

Anyway, my life since last April 24th, (so says my Dad). Actually, I didn't think you read my blog, Dad..... Glad you do!

Okay, end of April, first part of May, I was very busy directing our spring musical with the Kaleidoscope Children's Choir. This year, we performed "Camp Wallaballa". It was alot of fun, but alot of work too! I was working fulltime the last several weeks of production. Had so much to do.... including running rehearsals, 2 per week since the end of February; directing the KCC Band during rehearsals for them; putting together the powerpoint; formatting the program and preparing it for printing; stage construction; set construction & decorations; coordinating receptions, or at least making sure someone was in charge of that; oh, and numerous other things that I don't even wanna think about right now. In the end, the musical was a smashing success, and was enjoyed by all. I have a few pictures here from the musical. If you wanna see more pics, check out my facebook photo album.

After the musical & KCC Awards Ceremony were over, then I had the Choir 3 BBQ at our home. That was the following weekend. Lots of fun. The kids enjoyed the X-Box & the hot tub. These kids always look forward to this party at the end of the choir year.

Mother's Day ~ was very nice. Don bought me a tree for my garden & the girls each gave me a beautiful bouquet of roses, and the kids all came over for dinner. Nice, relaxing afternoon.

We are anxiously awaiting Lily Swim's arrival. Dyan was due last Wednesday, but no Lily yet. I took her to the doctor today, because I just knew that they'd probably keep her. Not today, tho. They strapped the monitors on her and everything looks good. They are concerned about deterioration though, and Dyan has been dilated to 2 for a while.... so, with the midwife, Dyan decided to go ahead and induce. She will check into the hospital on Tuesday evening and get prepped. Then Wednesday morning, the midwife will break her waters and the fun will begin. I just can't wait to hold her....

I bought a new piano a few weeks ago. Actually, I traded in my old piano for a better piano. I traded in my Wurlitzer spinet for a Boston upright made by Steinway. It has such a richer sound, and I'm really enjoying playing it. I'm about to begin my 3rd year of lessons with Paula....

I cannot wait to go off of this tamixofen!!! I'm so sick of being so overweight... No matter what I do, nothing helps. My doctor told me in January that I wouldn't be able to lose any weight until I go off of the tamixofen. It's so frustrating..... I hate seeing myself in pictures. So depressing..... Oy.....

So Meg is having a little girl! Her baby is due October 14th. I'm so happy for her. She's always wanted to be a mommy - a stay at home mommy, and that is what she's planning on doing. I'm so proud of her. She will be using the crib that Don made before Dyan was born. She's also going to use the dresser that we used when she was a baby. It's an antique, and so very cool. I"m excited for her.....

Plans for this summer? Don & I will be pulling the trailer and driving to Meridian, Idaho in August to attend our former pastor's daughter's wedding. We will camp on the way out, and camp on the way back, stopping at Mt. Rushmore, and visiting other friends who moved to South Dakota, or is it North Dakota? I cannot remember, but will figure it out before we head out.

I'm also considering driving to Denver and visiting my aunt for a few days, and then driving over to Grand Junction to visit with Julie & her family. Not sure if that will happen yet, but am thinking about it.

I do plan to spend a few weeks with Dyan, once she's home from the hospital.

And then there's the KCC year to plan out.... gotta choose a Christmas musical, and curriculum for the year. Got to get the calendar put together for rehearsals & room reservations. Lots to do....

And that's my life so far...... Enjoy the pictures!
