Mid-Summer Update . . .

Life continues to roll along. We are in full-on Summer mode around the Buchanan household. Kayla has been going to iKamp at First Baptist Church in Broken Arrow. Of course, she'd rather just stay home each day but . . . such is the life of a kid with working parents. Ain't gonna happen kiddo!

We had the girls for 2 weeks this Summer. Actually, we were supposed to have them for 6 weeks but that all fell apart when Larry got up with their mother's constant intrusion into our lives. He sent them merrily on their way back to Mommy's house to stay. We don't need her daily phone calls (a.k.a. Buchanan Household Updates) in our lives. We don't intrude on her time and she need not intrude on ours.

Anyway . . . enough of that drama.

Let's see . . what else?? Gosh . . not really anything. We haven't done much besides the usual stuff so far this Summer. We recently found out Kayla will need her tonsils and adnoids removed so we're tentatively planning that for Thanksgiving Break. I just hope it helps her snoring and restless sleep. Secretly, I hope she's less grouchy once she's better rested. She has been an absolute bear!

So, there you have it. Our life in a nutshell. Boring, aren't we?

Well . . it's been a while

And boy has life been eventful. I'll leave it at that for now. Don't want to put too much information out in cyberspace on the "big events" just yet as not all affected parties have been informed. Nuff said!

Let's see . . . . one big piece of news is Mom and Benny FINALLY bought some land in Tulsa . . . FINALLY!!! Could it really be that I will actually have my Mom in the same area code as myself?? I'm almost scared to get my hopes up too high. I'm going to close on the land for them Friday. After that, it's just a matter of time before construction will begin which means my Mom will be moving up here to oversea the process. I imagine Benny will stay in Corpus Christi until the house is done. He's not exactly mechanically inclined so my Mom is the most logical choice to be the one supervising the building process. It's so exciting. They will live just down the road from my in-laws.

Larry and I took the kids to Branson last weekend. We stayed in a beautiful 2 bedroom condo at a place called "The Villages at Indian Point". I HIGHLY recommend that place to anyone going to the Branson area. I was so nice . . . and clean . . .and peaceful . . . and spacious. Never again will I rent a hotel room . . . it's condos all the way baby!!

Work is . . well WORK. Nothing too much new there. I've got an intern here right now which means I basically have someone up my rear 24/7 but hopefully he'll work out and we'll be able to offer him a full-time position once he finishes graduate school. He seems relatively sharp so I'm feeling good about things right now.

Kayla just wrapped up 1st grade and has started summer camp at FBC of Broken Arrow. It's a program called iKamp. Today is her second day. She was absolutely wiped out when she came home yesterday. She fell asleep at 7:30 and slept all the way until almost 6:30 this morning. I had to drag her out of bed. I think she would have slept until noon had I let her.

I'm going to close out this post and start a new one . . . as today is now July 20th!!
