Three Weeks?!?!?!

I was just reading on a friends blog and looked to the side and saw this blog listed with it saying it had been 3 weeks since it had been updated. :-o How does the time go so fast.

So, what have we been doing here? Most of the time I am not totally sure what fills our time. I do know I spend what feels like way too much time going to appointments either for myself or taking a child, as well as making said appointments. Then there are all the other things that go with medical appointments. Making sure everyone that needs medications has them when they need them, making sure blood work is done on time, and deciding what shots we are going to get for who and following up with that decision. *whew* I apologize if that ends up sounding whining, that is not the intent. I think the intent is more allowing myself to realize medical issues are a major time suck in our house these days. (Ok, now I am probably sounding dramatic!) I tried telling Dennis the other day I had not signed up for it all, so was thinking of quitting, he seemed to think it was not optional! *sigh* :p (one of the kids 'Portland' Drs recently switched where he practices, getting all our prescription and blood draw 'ducks' in a row took many, many calls over the course of two weeks, I think we finally have those issues taken care of) It is sad that I finally decided I need to use Excel to round up all our medical care phone numbers, and I am thinking it will not all fit on one page. :-o

Ok - enough of that depressing subject... :)

I do think we are into the swing of fall activities. Seth is taking guitar lessons, Amelia and Abigail are once again taking debate class which has added a speech element this year, Rebekah is taking sewing classing and having a great time sewing Christmas gifts for her siblings. Everyone is into the swing of AWANA. Caleb LOVES going to Cubbies, Seth and Beka are both in the T&T group, and Amelia and Abigail work with the high school group as well as help with the younger groups. Charlyn is also involved by being the SPARKS (k-2) secretary. Here is a picture of Caleb in his newly earned Cubbie vest. :)

Well, I think I have rambled quite enough. Just wanted to lose my '3 weeks' rating! :p I guess I need to get a regular blogging schedule going. If nothing else there are always cute pictures of kids to share! :)
