Flu and other stuff

It has been an unplanned for weekend. Flu type stuff hit everyone but mimi, so we have all felt miserable off and on. We had to cancel our Sunday plans because of it, and we will now have the entire long weekend occupied now. Five more days of gymnastics camp, mimi is now done, noni just finishes this week. Come September we will be back at our 6 days a week of kids sports, only now it will be 7 days a week. Last year mimi fit in a science group, but if she does a swimming session she won't have time. At least swimming is short for the girls. JR is soon old enough for sports-next year when he is 3. That seems to be the age the kids all start their stuff at, although boys with thoughts of hockey should get on skates at age two they say. It is hard to believe, time has flown.

We are seriously looking at all our destination options and have new options due to an very unexpected windfall. I am so relieved and happy as it makes it all quite simple now. We just have the arduous task of actually looking for a home, school etc. Very time consuming, but we still have some time before I have to start major preparations-we just have to get to that point first.

We will be having a large gathering next week with extended family I ahven't seen in ages. We are bringing Mom and hopefully she will enjoy herself! She is due for a trip, this isn't one but it gets her out. We will fly her when we move to have a vacation, I wish we could have taken our parents on more trips, but we did have some nice ones.Time goes by so quickly it seems, I still can't get over it.

I haven't too much to write, I made a caramelized pear gingerbread tonight, it was picture perfect and tasted divine. Fresh ginger is what makes it. I am sitting on my front step typing this, the sky is doing wierd things and I hear odd noises. I am not sure if it is thunder or airplanes, but we seem to be in for a storm, the odd clouds are moving quickly this way. I would have liked to get out for a run, but I feel too weak still.

I am looking at what courses to register for next term. $1100 a course is highway robbery I think!
