I am finally sitting down to write an update. We are finally getting settled in San Antonio. Nathan has had countless Dr. appts but I think we are finally hooked up with all the Drs. he sees and we have been pretty impressed with most of them. We didn't do much this summer - San Antonio has had 50+ days of 100+ degree weather - I think the average is 12 days a year. So we just stayed indoors instead of melting inside. Hopefully next year our blood will have thinned and the heat won't bother us so much.

Nathan started back to school on Monday. He is going to the elementary school in another subdivision (about 4 miles away). He will be going Mon./Wed./Thurs. and will get some extra hours at home on Tues/Thur. So far everyone has been great, I just hope it stays that way. He will have a nurse go with him to school to help out with his medical issues. Knock on wood he has had a pretty healthy summer.

Addison is speaking up a storm. When she speaks slowly it is a easy to understand her, but when she starts talking fast it is hard to make out all she says. Bob and I have had to start watching what we say around her - she picks up everything. She will be starting a preschool program in two weeks. She will be going for three days a week. I think she is ready to get out of the house and play with some kiddos.

Bob likes his job, he just is busy all the time. Everytime I call he is in some sort of meeting. I think being the DO (or second in command) requires him to do different sort of tasks then he did before. Overall I think he likes it.

I have just been busy with the kids and trying to get the house settled. I am looking forward for a day or two to myself once Addie starts back to school. The other good news is that Nathan will qualify for more nursing hours and that will give me some much needed extra help.
