Every parent’s nightmare...that dreaded phone call from school....Yes that recently happened to me!! The child that will be the source of each and every one of my gray hairs-- fell off a zip-line at recess and broke his left arm. YES that is the hand he writes with too!!!!! Just wondering if anyone other than myself asked "why do they have ZIP LINES at recess????" Okay, great than it's not just me. My BESTEST friend Amy works at a school in our home town of Joliet where they also have Zip lines, and it seems to be the source of injury when not used properly....the kids seem to have more fun when pushed by another student--which as it happens is exactly how Jake was hurt! He did comfort me the next day by admitting he realized that the day prior was "almost as hard on me as it was for him..almost"!
I guess it has been awhile since I updated, sorry!!
My mom and Traci returned safely from their Germany trip, and they had a great time, but both seemed REALLY happy to be home. They toured A LOT while there--Switzerland, Paris etc. ...and yes they brought back some awesome gifts (and YUMMY chocolate!!)
Eric made the first quarter honor roll, and looks as if he will make second quarter. He really likes High School and all that entails. His Cross Country season has ended, he is well into the Scholastic Bowl season and he will be performing with his Show Choir at a Madrigal Dinner in December! He has been quite busy---and thank god no broken bones (I would like to age gracefully thank you!!)
I am starting to plan for Thanksgiving I get to cook for the family this year, very excited to have everyone here for the Holiday!!
Well, thank you once again by entertaining me and actually reading this!
Please have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!
