Yes I know, It's been awhile!

So, it's been a crazy time-what else is new in the world of a mother! I am not trying to feel sorry for myself, I am trying to make an excuse!
Well, the summer started off fantastic, I was able to go to Paris with my sisters and a couple of sister-in-laws! We had a great time. We rented a villa, after much time search for the right one, and I think we did a pretty good job. We were a couple of blocks from the Arc de Triumph! We would get up at the crack of dawn-7 women taking showers- and we would leave to house, making it our goal to visit the top ten bakeries in Paris. I think the bakeries were fabulous especially the macaroons-which is NOT what it sounds like. We walked so much that we did not gain any wieght on this trip-yeah! But you can bet that I ate and ate and ate. I have to thank Melissa for getting us all moving on this sisters trip!
While I was on my trip, John was bravely staying at home-with a kidney stone! Poor guy! He is now a proud papa of a .4mm kidney stone. Sitting on our bathroom counter! It sleeps during the night and doesn't give us any trouble now!
Beau was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes while we were out in Arizona for the Family Reunion. That was something. He is dealing with it. He is still in the Honeymoon phase-which is that the Pancreas is still working, hasn't completely shut down yet! Once it does, we are looking to put him on the Pump! (the things you learn).
We had a great time in Wyoming/Utah and Arizonia this summer. I even thought that is would not be so bad to move back to Salt Lake. Yes, it's ok, don't faint yet... I am still in GA. and expect to be here for the long haul.
School is in full force. Everyone is adjusting, I am not. I am missing sleep and I am pretty grumpy. Why am I missing school? I am one of three Seminary Teachers in our ward! I am enjoying the material, the kids-most days- and gaining a better understanding of the New Testement. I am not happy about the lack of sleep.
Houston is in football, which is going well. He had a huge game last Saturday. He sacked the QB twice! We told him if he did not get any hits, he would have to run 3 laps and do 5 min. of UP/Downs! It worked. He was a totally different player!
I am still playing tennis. I had a match a couple of weeks ago. Lost. But I did manage to hit a lob right back into the opponents stomache, causing her to fall back and throw her racket. It made me happy! Bad I know! But what can I say? The kids are taking lessons too. They like it sometimes-I think when they win they really love it. They take after their mother!
I have forgotten at least 5 appointments, activities or playdates, but that's normal? Right? In the last 3 days??? Did I mention it's crazy?
I think I've caught you up on things!
