First Day of School
Jourdan
Jourdan had his first day of Middle School today. (I remember going to Bradley Middle School in San Antonio - NOT FUN!) Jourdan's friend Kaden came over to our house this morning, so they could go together. Both boys had stomach aches and were just plain nervous. I was nervous for them. I took Jourdan around the school on Friday and found his home room, locker etc... I really hope he has a good day today. Fingers crossed!!!!
Meg
Today is Meg's first day of 4th grade. Meg is not nervous at all. She was really, really excited!! I'm not too worried about Meg. Today was Meg's first time riding the school bus without her brother. Since Meg is a big 4th grader now she gets to go pick up Zack in kindergarten and take him on the bus!
Zack
My big boy is now in Kindergarten! It is hard for me to believe he is in kindergarten and he is only 4 (5 in Sept). Zack was really excited, but nervous because he could not write yet. I had to reasurre him over and over that it was ok he could not write! Zack will be riding the bus home from school with Meg. I'm a little sad that Zack is now in school. What am I supposed to do with no kids for 4 hours?????

Frisco Festival
Saturday we drove down to the Frisco Festival. It was kinda of a last hooray since school starts tomorrow. The kids had a lot of fun, and we even were able to pick up Grandma Lander and bring her home with us for a visit!!!!

Today was the first day in about 6 weeks that it wasn't over 95 degrees, and horribly humid. It was a cool 70 degrees today. We had the windows open, the kids were able to play outside, and the dogs chased each other around the yard. Dennis even got outside and waxed the convertible. Lately, it seems as though no one even attempts to go outside until after 7pm. The kids make a pretty cool "bush fort". I was impressed how good this fort turned out. Jourdan and Zack were in one fort, and Meghan and her friend Bailey make one a couple feet away. Very entertaining for the kids.

Our Weekend - Family, Hot Springs, Emergency Room Visit.
What a weekend we had. Dennis' brother Leon, his wife Niki, and their daughter Zoe came up to see us this weekend. We love spending time with the other Cobb Family. I was feeling a bit (OK ALOT) under the weather so I did not go out to dinner or swimming at the hot springs. All the kids love to play with Zoe. Zoe is a super kid! Leon and Dennis are planning a boys outing in a couple of weeks when their Dad flies in. We are all really excited to see Grandpa Cobb!I wish I could have spent more time with Niki, but being so sick there was no way.
I started getting sick on Friday. Throwing up etc... I couldn't keep anything down. I went to the Doctor on Saturday and he gave me some meds that didn't work at all. At this time I'd already thrown up 26 times (yup, been counting). I felt like death. I was adamant not to go to the ER. So, my Dad drove up 4 hours to make sure I went to the ER. And who am I kidding... When I'm this sick I only want my Mom and Dad to take care of me! By this time I didn't have any fight left in me. I was weak, and practically had to be carried in. The nurse could not get the IV in because I was so dehydrated. I think it took 45 minutes to get the IV in. It was horribly painful. I don't know if you have ever had this, but she put the IV in to get blood, couldn't get it, so she wiggled it around for a good 30 minutes. HURT SO BAD! So they loaded me up with fluids, Gave me some great nausea drugs, and we waiting for all my lab work to come back. I was pretty nervous waiting for my labs to come back because I'm due to have the same blood work done through my Cancer Doctor. The labs came back about an hour later. The labs did not show anything of much concern. At this point I was feeling a little better, and I really wanted to go home. They sent me home with 4 nausea pills that cost $100.00 each. A lot of insurance companies don't cover this drug. I know all about this drug because they gave me the same drug when I was going though chemo.
Whew what a weekend!!!! Below are some pictures of the weekend!
