Hi Hurdsmans! So it's September now, is our weather going to automatically drop 20 degrees??? I wish....

Monday Jim had another appt. with the ortho to review knee x-rays. Jim will continue with shots, anti-inflammatories and the knee brace until he can't stand it anymore and then the knee replacement will happen. He got fitted for a VERY expensive knee brace that afternoon. Tuesday was Webelos for Gwen, back-to-school night for Jim, Pres mtg for Jim and Gwen had some of the YSA girls over for ice cream sundaes before they went their different ways to school (BYU and NY). It was fun - we had such a good YSA group. Wednesday Gwen and John did errands, then kids went to grandma's while Gwen went to the cannery. Just as we were loading up to go to grandma's the mexican candy truck showed up that was supposed to come the next day. Guess I'm glad I was still there. Anyone who served in central, south america may understand my frustration with scheduling...no language barrier, just cultural. That night was Reagan's first soccer practice. She loved it! It will be good exercise for my rowdy girl. Thursday I just don't remember except for the crazy monsoon we had. We have never seen anything like it. Imagine hearing thunder rumbling and seeing lightning across the whole sky for 30-45 minutes NONSTOP! We were glad the kids were in bed. It was kind of erie. You could stand on the driveway and watching the lightning cross the whole sky around us! Friday Gwen had webelos pack mtg. Not too long thank goodness. Saturday Jim worked around the house, Gwen tried to keep up with the kids and now it's another week. Happy September everyone! Love, Jim Gwen Reagan and John
