Not much to blog about...

I have not posted an entry for a while. I don't even have any new pictures to post!Things have been pretty uneventful at the Lawrence house. We are all happy and Healthy!

Maxwell continues to love Kindergarten. He had his first tests last week and did very well on all of them. He loves to do his school work. He started taking a drawing class and he loves it. I will try to scan and post some of the pictures he draws at his class.

We spent last weekend with Wendy and Alyssa. Maxwell was in heaven spending two days with his best friend. I still have high hopes they will get married some day so Wendy and I will actually be related... not that it matters, as she is as close to a sister as I am ever going to have anyway.

I started walking in the morning with my neighbor. We walk at 6:15 AM. Yes, I know you can't believe that "me," that hates exercise, is getting up at 6:15 to walk. But, so far,so good. It makes it easier when I know someone is waiting for me to go.
I am not losing any weight though, especially now that pumpkin spice "Frapps" are back at Starbucks (I do order the "light' version though.)

I went to the doctor on Monday to finally try to figure out why I keep getting my severe migraine headaches. I go on Monday for a MRI, but the doctor thinks the main problem is my over use of Excedrin to treat my headaches. He has put me on a daily medication to prevent the migraines. I hope it helps. I can not take not take medication if I do get a migraine for 2 months, so it had BETTER help! I will keep you updated.

We continue to get ready for the big Halloween party.

We hope to see you all there.

Gung's Birthday

Gung's 57th birthday was on September 6th.
We celebrated all weekend.
We had cake and opened presents at our house on Saturday then we went to Bahama Breeze for an early dinner.
Saturday night they had fireworks in Delmont. We went to the fair just to watch them. They were the best ever.
Sunday mom and I went to the musical Wicked. It was so good.
I hope my mom had a wonderful birthday this year and has many more!

Another Lawrence plays hockey...

Well, I think most of you guessed that it's not me playing hockey, so it is probably Maxwell. He started dek hockey last Tuesday and had his first game on Saturday which was a tie game, 6-6.
He seemed to like it after Brett got his helmet and knee pads adjusted. He told us in the car on the way home that he had a bug in his nose during practice, and he was not sure what to do. It made us all laugh.
I really hope that Maxwell likes dek hockey and continues to play and advance to ice hockey. I know nothing would make his Canadian daddy happier.
My mom and I can be seen in the stands each Saturday yelling "Go Wid!" and hoping when he has a shot at the ball that he shoots it the right way.

Backyard Camp Out

We had a camp out in our back yard on Saturday night.

The Valentino boys and their mom came over and the moms camped out in the back yard with the boys. Brett helped with the fire. This is the closet thing to camping we are going to get!

We had a campfire, made smores, and told funny stories before we went to sleep. It was a really fun night and a great way to end the summer.

Here are some pictures of the camp out...

First Day of Kindergarten

I'm finding it so hard to believe that my little boy has started kindergarten, but the evidence in these pictures is undeniable. There is Maxwell with his brand new backpack waiting to go in the school. There he is sitting at his new desk.
I am sad, yet I know that this is the start of an incredible journey and that he will love it every minute of it. ( I hope ! ) But, it is still hard for me to accept how big he is now and that I can't protect him every minute of the day from all the bad things that are out there in world. Where did the time go ?
