long update

Let's see. Where should I start?

Lucas had his birthday party with his friends the last week of August. He had lots of fun. There were about 10 kids total. A few of his friends, also have sisters who are Kileys friends. So that's nice for them both.
I cannot believe he's 4. We were watching home movies of them last night. They've grown so much. Watching the movies had me longing for another child, more on that later.
Lucas' actual birthday was on labor day. So we had family over for a bbq. He had a great time, and was super happy to get the Nintendo DS he's wanted since Kiley got one for her birthday.

My grandparents were here for a couple week, around Lucas' birthday and before Kilynn started school. So that was great. We'd been missing them.

We did have to call the ambulance for my grandfather one night, he was having trouble breathing. He spent a night in the hospital. Then, he had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic they gave him for the pneumonia. So we went back up the day after Lukes birthday. We were up there all day, to treat the allergic reaction and get a new antibiotic.
They left that next Friday. We miss em' already.

Kilynn started school on the 4th. She's loving 1st grade, and her teacher. So far, so good. I was worried. I'm silly. ;0)
She's a little more tired, but is definatly adjusting to going to bed earlier than she was in the summer. She's making new friends, and seeing her old friends. So all is good.
I do miss her though. Now that she's in 1st grade, she's going full time.

So, that Saturday morning after my grandparents left )and I'd already spent 2.5 days in the hospital with my grandpa) Ryan woke me up at 4:30 in the morning to let me know he'd be in the bathroom and that his stomach hurt really bad. He doesn't wake me up for things like that. So I got up right away, and suggested we go into the ER. (I was thinking appendix, or ulcer). He said it didn't feel like any flu he'd ever had.
So after pain medication, and some testing it was determined that he did need his appendix removed. Luckily, it wasn't ruptured and didn't rupture while we waited hours for the surgery. He had the surgery that afternoon, and came home early Sunday afternoon.
He's been recuperating all week. He's feeling better, though still uncomfortable. He'll be going back to work tomorrow.
I'm glad he's feeling better, and it's over with. I was worried. Any kind of surgery worries me.
So, that's that story.

Lucas hasn't started back at preschool yet. I was attempting to get him into ECEAP at the primary school, but it's income based. So, I don't think he'll be getting in. So if that's the case, he'll start at his old school (which Kiley went too as well, and I've always loved), in October.
He's not in any hurry to go back, but it'll be good for him. I do notice he's getting a little lonely with Kiley back at school. And alot of his buddies are at school now too.

Sooo...I think that's it for my update right now. I'm sleepy. I'll post photos to go along with this email later.
