What's new this year is that Kai and Quinn are in school at St. Francis Elementary-- Kai in 5th grade and Quinn in Kindergarden. It's really convenient for their Dad to drop them off and pick them up; so sadly, Joe and I do not get to have them after school. Both are liking school and happy to wear uniforms and all the stuff that goes with going to a Catholic school. However, Joe and I have a bit of a void in our lives without grandkids every day.
We are filling it by getting on with the house repairs. We've contracted for new siding, new roof, new windows, new shutters, new doors, and new windows in the basement! Now we're looking for someone to repair or replace the decks. We're trying to be careful so the money doesn't run out before the repairs do! So far we are loving the new carpet in the bedrooms and the house looks better already just with the old trees gone!
Also I am trying to get over to see baby Jack as often as possible. We watched him on Sunday while Lisa and Jeremy had an afternoon on the pontoon boat with Laura and Jason. Kai and Quinn stayed with us to help out with Jack. It was loads of fun even if Grandma was a bit tired by the end of the day. I think it's easier to take care of a six month old Jack without the help of a 5 year old and 10 year old. I loved having them all there though! I just wish it could happen more often.
