Oh to be so carefree! K and H are outside, on the trampoline, with the sprinklers on and having the time of their lives. It's 85 degrees and it's been a long long day, so the boys are enjoying some down time. A is hanging around inside, since he's not a big fan of sprinklers, yet. Mom and dad are also enjoying the comforts of the air conditioning, nice cold beers and a hockey game on the tv. See, my thoughts are, wear the kiddos out with sun and fun, and it's an early evening for them!

H had his 2nd soccer game today. His team lost again, but at least they looked better than last week. H was a STAR! The other team had some HUGE players. They were some tough characters. H stole the ball once and made his way all the way across the field! Daddy had class and had to miss the game, but H was so excited to tell him all about it this afternoon. I wish I could get a decent pic of H playing, but it's so crazy on the field, and K and A absolutely refuse to sit still to watch the game. I spend half the time trying to keep them from running off and begging for snacks from other parents.

I finished our health screening appointments this week to get us cleared to leave the country. Now we just wait. The nurse who conducted the appointments told us that it should be about 6 weeks before we even know if we are approved to accompany C to you know where. Oh please, like I'm going to wait 6 weeks to find out. My plan is to give them a week and start calling to check the status. By the end of 3 weeks, they'll be dying to get me to leave the country. Anyone who knows me knows that there's no way I'm going to wait that long.

Okay, off to get some steaks ready to BBQ and check on those rowdy boys outside. Check in with you all sometime in the next week or so...hopefully.
