Summer is flying by!
The summer is flying by. As with all summers it just seems too short. I am not a heat person but summer is still a time of lazy afternoons and enjoying the outdoors. I love having it stay light so late because I don't get out of work until 5:30 and there is still time to get outside and enjoy a little time to work in the yard, walk the dog, visit the kids or just sit and enjoy being outside.
This week is Colin's second birthday and he is talking more everyday. He is a trip! Sean is getting ready for school and soccer, I can't wait for soccer, I miss watching my boys play. Now it is time for a new generation to start, where did the time go? Paul is already getting excited when he sees a ball and can't wait to start following his brothers around, it won't be long. They grow up so fast.
Since my last post.......
Kevin was notified on his 21st birthday, June 27th, that he was accepted into the apprenticeship for the electical union and will be doing telecommunications. He was notified yesterday that he starts working for the union at McGraw Hill on Monday, August 13th. His classes start in September. He is thrilled and we are very proud of the man he is becoming.
Kim and Gary got married and we enjoyed a day at the Marina and got to spend some time with Kenny and Dina's daughter Jasmine who loves throwing stones in the bay with her Uncle Rich. Surprise huh! Maddy still wants to go to the creek with Uncle Richie when she visits and now Colin and Sean love going there too. Kids seem to be drawn to him, he is a kid magnet even at KinderCare where he works. He always has a story about the kids following him around or calling him Mr. Rich.
Big Rich, aka Mr. Rich,Uncle Reechie, Herbert, Dad, Pa, PopPop turned 55 on Saturday, July 14th and had to go to Nashville Tennesse for training on Monday the 16th. He stayed at Grandville Opryland and was amazed by the complex they stayed in. It was huge!! He hates being away from home though and it was weird for me to have him gone. The 31st of this month we will be married 36 years and have only been apart maybe 2 or 3 times for more than a day. Neither of us got much sleep while he was gone.
Little Rich, although he is taller than his dad, started work at Colonial Cadillac on August 6th.
The people there are really nice and he is much more comfortable and feels more confident in an area he has lots of contacts and familiarity. We are sure he will be successful there. There is another benefit as well, we get to see him more often.
Luke is huge and we think could be part pony. He is so crazy and steals everthing from socks to mail and runs in his crate with it. It is funny but can also get on your nerves after the fourth or fifth time you have to crawl in the crate to retrieve something. We were leaving him in the kitchen with a gate up for two weeks and he was doing great until Rich went to Tennessee and Luke started getting on counters and the desk and chewing up things. He chewed a whole pack of new photo paper. It looked like it had snowed in my kitchen. I was not happy. It is not cheap.
Sunday the 12th we are having some family over for cake for Colin. I will post some new pictures after.
