They are all home!

Well after a long week with my kids scattered from hither to yon, they are all finally home! Delanie and KaeLee came home Wed, Daniel later that evening and Kyah just got home from a week with her Dad about 1 hour ago. It feels really good to have them all here. Nice to be "complete". Ron is thrashing grain/barley like a mad man, told me he has about 150acres left. It all has gone really well so far, no accidents or breaksowns either. All the kids school clothes shopping is done, except for Daniel, saved the easiest for last.
All my worries about Daniel's feet weren't in vain, they did hurt and still do, don't know how to proceed at this point. Just watching it right now, he won't risk going to the Dr. and having them put him back in cast boots when Football season starts on Monday. Big Senior year, hard to believe. He did get a special camp award up at the basketball camp, camp player or something to that effect, and his team also won the champioship.
Kyah's daycare fell through the day before yesterday, but we got hold of a daycare about 3-1/2 miles from Delanie's apartment last night and they seem really nice. I think it will all work out for the best. They are a little cheaper, still $137.00 a week, but amazingly enough that is cheaper. They are also willing to give her a break the week that Kyah is with her Dad.
Have to register the kids on Wed. hard to believe school is only 12 days away but it is. They all seem excited. I am nervous to send my baby to the "big" school though. Thank heavens Superintendent "aunt" Shell is there. Well all in all it has been a great week, better now that all my chicks are home, even have Izaak back.
I just have to say I never thought being a stay at home mom could be so fulfilling and fun. I love being around my family and seeing Ron 50 times a day if I want, just riding with him, right now I am watching him go back and forth in the combine right outside my bedroom window. Nice thing having the people you love most close by.

Daniel's feet & BSU Update

Well, my boy called today! He is at basketball camp in Boise, his feet are hurting again. Last basketball season he finished with stress fractures in both feet and wound up throwing the discus through track with boot casts on both feet. I sure hope and pray he can just get through this year. I know it sounds stupid that sports are that important, but they are life to him. He is your average 17 year old. He lives and breathes football, plays basketball by default and mainly likes track because he likes the track coach a lot. She is excellent to him. Well I just hope we can figure it out.
Delanie's apartment is adorable! We got it all set up and she was one huge smile all day. Brooklyn, KaeLee and her stayed up there and are having a girls week. Shopping, Roaring Springs, sleeping in and watching a lot of Friends. Izaak is on his way up there right now so she will be very proud to show him that. I am anxious to see what he thinks.
