So all and all we had a REALLY great summer this summer. It was kinda nice me not working and able to spend the time with Kayla. We may have over scheduled her with the summer camps and two vacations.
Summer went WAAAAY to fast.(doesnt it always)
Kayla is a big 1st Grader now. Hopefully she does well with the huge adjustment of all day. After 4yrs of half day I know that's gotta be tough but I think she is well ready for all day :-)
I know I have joked on Facebook and in person about having the new found 7hrs of freedom. People who have young ones still have said "lucky". But I would be lying if I didnt say that first day was REALLY REALLY rough.
It was a harsh cold reminder that I should NOT have had 7hrs of freedom. I should have been ready to pull my hair out b/c my 1yr who probably would have just started walking would be opening every cabinet on the 1st floor pulling everything out, me chasing him ALL day.
I am sure nap times would have been exactly right when I needed to be at the bus stop (or soccer) ..isnt that always how it is nap time.
But instead I sit alone with my coffee dont be envious of me if your toddler is currently tornado-ing through house be thankful and HUG and KISS them every single moment
Its funny how on Kaylas 1st day I was trying to keep busy and that brought me RIGHT by the cemetery gates (running errands for my brother) I had to pull in and stop and sit for just a minute. It was as if he was bringing me there to say its ok mom I love you!
Who knows what this year will bring I have a feeling somethings in the air hopefully its good Lord knows we have had our share of bad.
So here is too a great (school) year!!

Genetics Testing here we come... (forgot to update in July)
So I realized I never made and update this summer that I should have so I will start there.
Late June Chris and I were contacted from Childrens Hospital Genetics team. They had FINALLY after 14M heard back from the Jouberts Syndrome research team at Seattle Childrens Hospital (one of the two genetic syndromes Korbin was suspected to have had)
They wanted to invite us to participate.
What this means...They collected our blood samples and are running tests to see if we both have any genetic markers.. which means if we did that we would be "carriers" making it possible to affect or pass on to other children we may have. What this also means if we are that gives us the knowledge that at some point Kayla needs to be tested so she knows for her future. She has a 50% chance of being a carrier and in genetics that is HUGE. At this time they wouldnt allow us to include her in the blood draw for testing b/c she is 6. But they made a note that we would like to at some point have her tested IF we come back positive on anything.
They told us this could take weeks(its been 5), months or even years to get our results.
So in the meantime..well nothing we carry on as usual
