Hi all,
Just a few updates on what's happening with Team Hyndman.
Isabella did GREAT, really great, in her dance recital! It was a long day for her and us, but this year she seemed to be SOOOOOOO into it, much more than previous year, excited, and confident. The new dance studio owner and teacher did a fantastic job this year. It was put together really well. Yeah Bella!:) Afterwards, we had a fantastic dinner at Carrabbas with both sets of our parents, my sister and her family (16 of us!). What a great night.
Last weekend (5/29), we celebrated Greg's 42nd birthday at his Mom and John's house with our entire family once again. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice and we even had family come from Michigan. Lots of food, great conversation, and playing with the kids. This is the 28th year Greg and I have celebrated our birthdays together. June 30th of this year will be our 20th wedding anniversary and our 28th year together as a couple. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say the 40's are now like the new 60's. That's what I've heard at least!
I went to the doctor to follow up on my broken ankle. I was REALLY hoping to get a walking cast but she put me in a compression cast for another three weeks, no putting ANY weight on it or driving still. I'm trying to remain patient. I really want to start moving, being able to do things, and get back to work! I know I should be enjoying this down time because in a month or so, I'll be wishing I had some down time I'm sure. Anyhow, I go back in a few weeks a hopefully this time, I can get a walking cast and get back to work!
Today was Nick's official last day of school of his Junior Year. He had his last exam today, and the last day of school is tomorrow so he doesn't have to go. He's done! So, he's a senior now! Isabella's last day of school is tomorrow and she'll be done with 4th grade and next year she'll be a 5th grader in her last year of elementary school and Nick will be graduating from high school! Hard to believe. We're really proud of them for having a great year in school this year!:)
Greg and I have been talking and we are feeling like time is going by TOO fast and the kids are growing up so fast. We want to enjoy every single second we can together as a family. We feel like this time is precious and we'll never get it back. So, we intend to soak it ALL up. Every bit of family time we can get, we'll take it! We're really hoping to take a family vacation to Florida this year, Disney, Universal, etc. Greg has his vacation time this year in November, over Thanksgiving now. We just found this out. He was supposed to have Christmas off and found out he can't take it, so we had to change our plans for a family vacation to November. We really try not to take the kids out of school for vacations now that Nick is in high school but we are going to do it as it is our only time to take a vacation together as a family this year. We feel it's important. We have to do it when Greg can take time off. We also hope to take Nick to Florida, to the beach for his spring break his senior year. He's never gone on a spring break trip to Florida and doesn't have the opportunity to go with friends, so we're going to try to take him and go as a family for his senior year! Family time:)
So, school's out for the summer and we are looking forward to doing some fun family things on the weekends and the kids have some fun things planned as I talked about in my last post. We'll be posting pictures and updates of the fun! We hope everyone has a safe and fun summer with lots of time with the people you love!:)
Blessings:)
Amy
