Rainy Monday

Time has slipped away again without a post. No exciting news perhaps is part of the reason. Summer winding down and trying to take advantage of all the nice weather is another reason.

So an update. Jessica loves Milan and school. She is picking up the Italian language and we are anxious to see her. We leave for Italy October 12 and I have only started planning the agenda of activities. Everyone we speak with has a favorite city to visit. I think I am reluctant to start planning because I will see that we will run out of time before we run out of things to see and do.

Mike is doing fine in Bowling Green. I am not sure if I have mentioned his involvement with the aKtion Club. The AKtion club is a group associated with the Kiwanis organization, where disabled individuals are able to support their local community doing service projects. Two BG Kiwanis members helped start the BG AKtion club. They meet every other week and have helped out at a pancake breakfast and the recent Black Swamp Festival. It has been a great social community involvement for Mike. Oh he was elected as the president too, but does not like it when we call him Mr. President.

AJ started kindergarten this month and so far seems to like it. He is attending Glendale Feilbach School because they have a full time nurse at the school. Jesi says there have been a few issues with the diabetes but nothing major. Having the insulin pump makes life easier. The school has already sent home the first fundraiser, so AJ was excited to sell me an Entertainment Book. Just what I need but I am sure it is only the first of many things I will buy from him. Anyone else needing a Toledo Entertainment Book let me know.

Where has the time gone?! AJ in kidergarten - wow - glad he is enjoying it. I am amazed when I see the kindergarteners in my school and how different it is from when we went to kindergarten, the kitchen is gone as are the sewing cards, and now they do real school work! I know AJ is very bright (he could beat you in "Go Fish" when he was 3)!
I will be thinking about you this week as you leave for Italy - again, I will be living vicariously through you (again)!!!!
Safe and fun travels!
