Big hopes

I really had high hope of keeping this blog up to date but clearly I have failed.  So maybe, just maybe, I can keep up if I blog once a month instead of once a week.  I do believe that would be more realistic for me!

May and June slipped by before I knew what happened and suddenly it was July 4th!  We spent the day with several of our closest 4-legged friends, some of whom stayed with us to get out of town and away from the banging and booming of the fireworks.   We headed to the farmers market and bought some honey, strawberries and fresh maple syrup!  Then we headed off to do some car shopping (looking really more than shopping) at the annual Hubbard's tent sale.  But before we could get to the tent, a cell phone call from Lena would require us to go pick her up and take her with us.  Jacob was fishing for the day and "tagged out" to us.  We are all in agreement that she being 9 days away from her due date, she really shouldn't be spending a lot of time alone.  So, we loaded her up and walked her around the tent sale and then it was off to Wolcott to walk her around some more.  It is hard to believe that baby Lincoln Von will be joining us soon!  I am not certain where the months went but I do know that the last few weeks are taking far longer that the last 8 months have!  I can't wait to get her here so I can kiss her wittle face!   I thought that being a grandma was something I wasn't ready for but I must say that as her due date gets closer it is something I am definitely ready for!  I absolutely cannot wait.  Lena is fairly certain she needs a restraining order against me to keep me from kidnapping her child!  I claim grand parental rights!  At any rate we are ready but likely none of us more than Jacob and Lena.  They have prepared and re-prepared and now it is just the waiting!

Byron and I have seen a surge in the boarding business which we are ever so grateful for.  It is nice to be doing the numbers again that we were seeing in 2006 before the economy decided to tank!  I keeps us on our toes, busy and never bored!

Tony and Ashley seem to be doing well, though I don't get to spend much time with them.  Ashley was home for a bit but it will be a long stretch now before we see her again.  We are planning to take Lincoln to the Ville to meet FOSH and Uncle T.  That will be a time to remember.  Ashley will be taking classes in Louisville next week to gain another certification for her job as a respiratory therapist.  We are so proud of her and how well she has done in her career.  She certainly has been a blessing to many of her patients.

Well folks, again, I believe that brings us up to date.   Enjoy the summer time...Enjoy the time, period.  It goes by way too fast!

Love you all.
Kat.
