So three months. That would be all summer. That's how long since I've blogged. When I was blogging it was about how I was trying so hard to get in shape while Adam was gone for a month doing some Army training. A lot has changed since then.

If you know me, you know I get sick often. Sinus. Bronchitis. Allergies. Pneumonia. 4-6 times a year. Serious infections. On July 1, I got sick....again. And to tell you the truth, I'm not completely better. In August, I went to the ER twice for pain while I was breathing. On the second trip, two weeks after the first one, I was admitted to the hospital. For six very long days. My journey will this illness has not ended, though. It seems I could have a lifelong autoimmune disease. I've consulted with a hematologist and had some more blood work done (my stint in the hospital included a variety of tests), but due to the lack of a babysitter to keep the boys, I've yet to learn those results.
Last week we went on vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It was amazing.

We had a great time in an amazing part of this world. So much fun that Adam dreams of living there forever.
Today we started school. Finally. Due to my illness, hospitalization, and vacation, we started much later than I had planned. I wasn't too worried as Adisson had already started his second grade curriculum at the end of last year (and we were six weeks into it) so really we aren't too far behind and rather maybe even a little ahead. :) It went super well today. The boys did great and if everyday was like today (in a homeschool sense) the whole world would want to homeschool.
