A Rough Patch
It doesn’t seem so long ago (it wasn’t either — it was June when my aunt died and yes this is the same side of my family) that I was writing a post similar to this. On Saturday night, my uncle passed away. I think he was 82, so he lived a full life. The weekend prior he had a heart attack and last week he had a stroke. The wake is tomorrow night and the funeral Wednesday. Since this is 4 hours from my home, there is no way for me to attend this. I am also leaving at the end of the week for a conference and I couldn’t leave my kids with a sitter for almost a week. I feel bad all around. Though when things like this happen, it does put everything in perspective. It makes me look at my family and appreciate what I have. I have two wonderful kids, a wonderful husband, and we all have our health. Anyway, if you could keep my family in your thoughts and prayers it is appreciated. My mom seems to be holding up well, but I can never tell.

Weekend Travels
We just got back from another weekend up in Green Bay. I had a wedding shower on Saturday for one of my cousins who gets married in six weeks. Everybody had a great time. Since my parents only have dial up, I don’t bring up my laptop computer which means I am behind with both my blogs and my emails. I am slowly but surely catching up, but I probably won’t be completely caught up till tomorrow. I plan on going to bed soon. However, I just love this picture. I took it while we were at the Wildlife Sanctuary this morning (will be writing a review on it over at My Road Less Traveled By soon). The kids loved the ducks and geese there. We also checked out the buildings that are located there, and they had a blast. Somehow, Bill managed to get two mosquito bites. I think I am going to be going to bed shortly, so I’ll update some more tomorrow.
