Today a friend of my son's underwent brain surgery to remove a tumor. It was a long procedure. Garret went back to the OR around 9 this morning, and came into recovery around 3. Josh has been really concerned about him. This is his second friend in 2 years that has had to have a brain tumor removed.

Jillian and Preston seem to be doing better today. This is the first day since their surgery that they are seeming more like themselves. Michael and I got them out of the house this evening. We went out to eat and walked around the mall. They went to the new Lego store and picked a few things out that they wanted. Even I want some of those sets to put together. It is a pretty cool store!

I can't believe summer is almost over for my kiddos. Each year I plan to do all kinds of things with them during the summer, and the summer is always over before we know it. We did manage to go to Alabama Adventure several times this summer, bowling, to the movies, Daytona Beach, Panama City Beach, and to Atlanta for some Braves Baseball. We went to some drive in movies and played some putt putt golf. We even went to the driving range to hit some golf balls too. They also enjoyed having no were to go on several days and just enjoyed being at home playing with their toys and electronic gadgets. They enjoyed playing with the neighborhood kids outside! Josh got to shoot his gun lots and practice up on his target shooting. The ice cream truck managed to catch us a few times while we were outside playing. I swear he is sitting at the top of the hill with binoculars and watches for the kids to come outside. We also had days where we didn't get out of our pj's and laid around and watched movies, played yahtzee, and wii! We went to the McWane science center a few times. Still I feel like we did all these things, but the summer still got away from us. Time flies when you are having FUN!

Life is so precious! Not guaranteed another day, so live each to its fullest! We all snuggled up tonight when we got home from dinner and the mall. We put in a movie and got all cozy and watched it together. Life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!
