We've been enjoying the Olympics on TV - what athletes!!! Last Sunday, I played the gathering music and with Sam on the hymns at church - we didn't even go this week - shame on us!!!
It was annual well-woman check-up time this week. I may need to go to a specialist for my heel and for arthritis - an arthritis panel is being run. I had an x-ray of my heel - good news is there are no fractures or bone spurs - bad news is that it still hurts.
Peyton started school - 2nd grade - on August 11. Mrs. White is her teacher, and she is making new friends and enjoying previous friends both in class and at Y-Care before/after school.
Garrison has started his pre-school/junior kindergarten program at All Around Child, but he hasn't yet posed for his first day of school pictures - he hasn't changed much - ha ha.
Saturday morning, Amanda, Garrison and Peyton met other girls/families who will be in Peyton's Tiny Tainers Dance Group at McDonald's for breakfast before the orientation meeting of the group. Garrison was thrilled that siblings of the other girls, age 7 and 9 and boys, were nice to him and sat with him at McDonald's. Peyton loves her new teacher who is very sweet, and she is looking forward to this new venture.
On Saturday, Ron and I traveled to Overland Park to spend the day with Amanda and the kids - Chad was playing golf in a two-day tournament. Amanda and Peyton played Twister - Grammy started but was out after two turns - surprise! Peyton picked Pizza Street for lunch - what a wild place. The food was pretty good, and lots of it, and then then the kids had some fun in the arcade. The girls went into Kohl's do to a bit of back-to-school shopping for Peyton (finally) while the boys sat in the van and watched the iPad. Garrison was good - so was Grandpa. Peyton was hilarious in the store, telling Amanda, "I got this" when Amanda wanted to go with her to the dressing room - she's growing up!!! She did come out and show us the outfits after she got them on. Funny, I usually still go with Amanda to the dressing room to help her when we go shopping for clothes for her - ha ha. Then we went back to their house for Garrison and Grandpa to rest and watch a movie while the girls ran some errands. To another Kohl's to get things we forgot, and then Costco, and then Starbucks for Peyton to get a hot chocolate and to Sonic for the big girls to have a diet cherry limeade from Sonic. We had a great time - lots of laughs. We had fun during the day playing games, etc. I had taken Peyton a selfie stick which she loved and practiced with - ha ha. When Chad returned home, he invited us to stay to go out to dinner with them at Red Robin, so we did - great time and good food. Then home for the evening. Sunday was a lazy day with some household chores and pizza for lunch - rest in the afternoon. Amanda and the kids went to the KC Zoo for a day with friends - what a beautiful day for it. Who knew Elsa and Olaf would be at the zoo - they had kawala bears too for a short stint.
Great family times - we are blessed!!!
