Update

I know, I know. It's been forever since I posted. I don't know where the days, weeks and months go. You would think since I am a lady of leisure, I should have everything done and just sit around in my pink fuzzy slippers and eat bon bons - NOT!!!!

Let's start with kids. For the last 6 or 8 weeks, I have done nothing but follow this:

Yes, that's Malia, doing the butterfly for the high school swim team. She had a pretty good year for a freshman. They just finished their season on Tuesday. She didn't qualify for state but definitely improved throughout the year. I was able to go to all but 2 of her meets. I guess God did know what he was doing when I got laid off. If I had been working full time, I would have never gotten to go to all those meets. Suresh and Karla even came for one of her home meets. She is going to be working at the pool this summer. Since she's not 16 yet, she will work in the concession stand. She will be able to lifeguard next year. I think she is also going to help with swim lessons.

Then there's Jessica.

This picture is from her piano recital on April 16. This was her first real year of piano and she did very well. Sheis getting excited for school to be out. We are going to Denver just after Memorial Day. She gets to stay with Aunt Karla and Uncle Suresh for two weeks. She will come home when they come for Grandma's birthday party. One of the weeks she is there, she gets to go to a camp. As soon as she gets back from Colorado, she starts 2 weeks of swim lessons. I can't believe she's almost done with 4th grade!!!!

I am anxiously awaiting the new hospital to open. They are putting the finishing touches on it and I believe it is suppose to be turned over for occupancy on June 8. Our first day of operation is suppose to be July 6. I can't wait!!! The new hospital is Great Bend Regional Hospital. I have enjoyed being off but boy, will we be happy to be back to full paychecks for Mom!!! I will be working OB again plus wherever they want me to. I have been working some at the Surgery Center, traveling with Dr. Slater and working night shift at Ellinwood District Hospital. Some weeks are much busier than others but so far, we seem to be making it OK.

We are busy planning a special something for this special person:

No, not Jessica!! Grandma will be 90 years old on June 18. We are planning a big celebration for her on June 14. Invitations have gone out. If you didn't receive one, let me know and I'll e mail you the info. It will be cake and punch on the 14th at our church, Trinity United Methodist Church (Broadway & Patton) in Great Bend from 2-4 pm. If you can't come, please send a card to my address and we'll make sure she gets it on her party day. We hope to get 90 cards to give her!!

Doug is fine. Started the street work for the summer. I think he's looking forward to going to Colorado for a few days. I think he's also going to a couple of car shows this summer as well.

I think that's all for now. I'll try to be better about posting!!

Love,

Jacquie
