Dustin's 15th Birthday!!

My boys are growing up! On August 20th, Dustin turned 15! As many of my closest friends and family know, Dustin is not currently living with us, but is nearby at a medical facility getting some help with his BiPolar Disorder. It's been an uphill battle for him, but we hope with lots of prayer, he will soon be home again. This isn't the greatest picture of Dustin (I promise to get one soon where you can actually see him), but this is Dustin and Allen (in the background). We went to visit him the weekend before his birthday to celebrate. The boys are playing frisbee or catch with their dad in this picture. We had a great day together and Dustin got lots of presents!

First Day of School

Wednesday, August 20th had two very special events this year. Allen started his Sophomore year in high school and Dustin turned 15!! Here is Allen, just before heading off to school. Just in case you're wondering, he's about 6' 3" now, and still growing!! It's been almost a week since the first day now, and he's loving it! He's got a heavy course load this year, but he's up for the challenge. He's also planning on joining the Key Club this year, and may even try out for basketball and/or track. I'll keep you posted!

Back to School Time!

I apologize for being away for so long! Time just gets away from me sometimes! You all know how that can be! It's back to school time in our house! Dustin starts school this Wednesday (the 13th) and Allen starts next Wednesday. We've been doing the back to school shopping and are officially finished! Yeah! I made a point this year to spread things out, so I've been picking up things for the last month. I know you guys up in Michigan don't have to start until after Labor Day! Lucky you! Enjoy it while you can! Time flies when you're having fun!!!

PS: I'll post more soon! I promise!
