Sorry for the delay...

...but, it's been really crazy around here. Since the last time I posted I have passed two kidney stones. One of which that needed the help of some serious IV drugs in the emergency room (thank you Jesus for pain killers). I received a call from the Dr's office today about the kidney stones. The lab results came back CALCIUM!! I'm shocked. I would have bet money that it had something mostly to do with caffiene. White Chocolate Mocha, Sweet Tea, and REAL Coca-Cola to be exact, but, nope just good old calcium. I was told to just continue to "monitor" my kidney stones (what the heck does that mean?). Dr's orders are not to limit my dairy intake because of future problems with that (bone related, later in life). But I should cut down on the caffiene since that only dries my kidneys out and makes passing the stones I already have more likely.
Today Jackson started Kindergarten. Orientation was fun, I really think he's going to enjoy his teacher. His teacher's son graduated from High School with Kasey and I. There also happens to be a mom (and dad) of one of the little girls in his class who (both) graduated with us. Jackson best buddy Reed and a little "girl-friend" (and I'm using that term lightly), Erika (from church) are also in his class. Sometimes living in the same small town you grew up in is pretty neat.
Also today my baby Owen is turning 2 years old. I can't believe he's 2!!! Wasn't he just an infant? Time flies by faster and faster. I'll have to do a birthday/picture post when I can get some pics all together (sorry Owie, Mommy's been really busy). We're having a birthday dinner tonight at our favorite little Mexican Place with family and close friends. Aaron and Stacey have had Owen for awhile today so I'm sure that by the time we get to the party, he'll be spoiled rotten!
Mason's really getting excited about starting pre-school. Last night I wrote out some "Welcome to my class" post cards and I addressed one to him as well. It's wierd having your own in your class but I think he and I will really enjoy it.
