I realize that I spend way more time reading every one else's blog than actually updating my own. I keep thinking I have to wait for something spectacular to happen before I post about it, but then realize every day is spectacular in this crazy family!! I wish I was as creative as Stasha is...and could see the things she sees every day in her life. I really admire that about her.
We are only one child away from a full family again!! Jamie came home on Thursday last week and it has been great to have one of our boys back! We are still missing Kai, but will get him back this weekend! I can't even think about how much I miss him, because it physically hurts! This time with grandma was so good for him, but HORRIBLE for mommy!! Did I say that it hurts?? I can't believe he's been gone almost 6 weeks...what was I thinking??
Jamie got to spend a month with his mom in North Carolina. He had a great time with his new step uncle? Robyn is his grandma's new husband's son...Get it? They are very close in age and got to hang out every day. It was good for him to have a buddy and be able to do alot of things he couldn't do with his mom. She's very sick right now with Lymes disease and is trying to get better. I know Jamie really enjoyed spending time with her and helping her as much as he could. He is such a good boy! I can't believe how much he grew in a month. He is almost 5' 10"
I'm glad he's getting tall....and sooo handsome. We are trying to figure out how to let him date without freaking out and going with him as chaperones...I really can't deal with these things very well! I am too young to be having a teenager dating and driving! This is going to age me very quickly...
Slowly but surely I am feeling better since my surgery. I'm still waiting for my emotions to catch up with my body...I keep forgetting that it was major surgery and feel like I should just be back to normal mentally, and that's not really happening. I finally started taking some estrogen to try and feel normal again. I guess my ovaries aren't working even though they were left behind to help my brain, they've decided to freak out and freak me out. I hope things will get easier as time goes on. I am a little overwhelmed with all the requirements of motherhood and career. I wonder how I did all this before my surgery. I hope I can deal with this...any advice??

Ana, you are amazing. I get tired just thinking about how much you do in one day.
Holy crap! I can't believe you let Kai go to Grandma's for 6 weeks! You are brave! Miss you love you! Hang in there.
Oh Ana,....you are so cute to post such a nice compliment about me. Thank you. It sounds like your having mixed emotions about this surgery thing. I know you'll get through it. From what Doug tells me your a strong women with great ability to never give up and make it through any challenge your faced with. If you ever need to vent you can always call. =-) Remember our chat the other night? I sure did appreciate it. We will pray for you and hope that things will get easier as time moves on. Here's a quote for ya, "Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength." We LOVE you!
I'm sorry you've missed Kai so much, but we sure have enjoyed him! He played here after preschool yesterday and the kids laughed so hard I thought they'd all come out with wet pants!
You are a tough cookie and you will make it. I remember those days and know that it takes time and patience to work through those hard times. Keep up your upper lip and it will get better. We have really enjoyed Kai and know that he has had fun. I asked him if he wanted to stay with us and he said "NO I miss my family." I know he is ready to come home but he hasn't been sad. See you on Saturday.
Well Hello Ana Banana!! I found you through Holly. What an incredible family you've got goin, gorgeous to say the least. You can e-mail me through my blog, I'd love to catch up. Good to see you doing so great!!
