PUTNEY UPDATE

Ok folks, I am finally able to take a little breather and update you all on what's been happening lately. I am finding now that as a stay at home mom, I am more busier than when I was working out there in society. Especially we are really busy now with the school year coming to an end and scheduling activities for Mimi to do in order to keet her busy during the summer months.

Last Friday morning we recieved a phone from grandma early in the morning. The senior community where she and grandpa live were getting ready to have a Friday, Saturday and Sunday community garage sale. Don't know exactly what happened but somehow one of grandpa's artificial hips came out of the socket. By the time dad, Mimi and I got there, grandma had already called the paramedics and off to the hospital they went. The doctor was able to place it back in and grandpa was able to come back home. Thank goodness. I totally lost count on how many operations he has had on both of his hips.

Since it was still early morning and there was nothing more we could do, dad went to work and Mimi and I were starving so I suggested how about we go out to breakfast. Of course Mimi picks Black Diamond Bakery. Then we did some errands to pick up some pet supplies and make it over to Louella's for our weekly visit.

One year ago, Mimi would not even be standing next to a big or little dog let alone petting them. It's amazing how much our Butch has had a good affect on our lives. Pictured beside Mimi is Natalie. Louella's says that she has no trouble getting the kids out of bed and dressed if they know that Mimi is coming to see them. She has loads of fun with them too.

Next it was time to stop by Costco and get some lunch before school started.

Come this Friday there will be a kindergarten concert at Mimi's school that all the kids are getting ready for. Then it is one more week of school after that.

During this summer all of her activities will be held in the evening. She will be doing swimming M-W-F with Erin and Halliwell for a couple of weeks. T-Th, it will be gymnastics. This time dad will be able to go and watch her practice. When the swimming is done, I have got her sighned up for sports camp with her neighborhood friends and possibly Karate with Blake.
