While I am waiting to return to Russia to bring home Julianna, there is plenty for us to do. Tonight marks the last night of Gabby swimming as a 12 and under. Technically, yesterday she swam her last races at mid-caps and got her very best times in both breaststroke and individual medley relay (IM). Today was the end of the season summer swim banquet - an all day affair. It was fun - rainy - and depending upon which kid you talked to...boring. Kenny and I told the kids we thought that Julianna would have loved every minute of the day...so...it is good to be reminded of perspective and to appreciate what one has!
Dominic and I travel on August 7 to Russia. Father Mario is allowing us to stay in the apartment that he has adjoining the Catholic Church. What a gift that is! We are hopeful to be flying home on August 18 or sooner! Let's pray for the sooner...!
This week will be busy with work for both Kenny and me. Dominic picked up some work hours at the Giant and Francesca is guarding for three nights at the pool. Of course we have therapies all week for Angelo and some voice lessons tucked in next to the marching band practice/family picnic.
Tomorrow is a special day in our home as Kenny and I will officially have three...yes... three (3) teenagers in our house! Gabby will be 13! Having three teenagers is a scary thought. If I've calculated correctly, we will only have a year or so hiatus until we have three teenagers in the house again for a very long time....Wish us luck!
