A Quick Update

Last Saturday, Mike's grandfather died at 93. We travelled to Houston to attend the funeral. It was a sad time. Mike's dad is around 70; I can't imagine losing someone you've know for seventy years. Of course, he handled it with grace and dignity. It was actually nice to be with his fam., and to spend time with Myles and Lisa, both of whom I totally adore. The kiddos loved being with grammy whammy, so that was nice, too. We got back Wednesday at 3, and I had to teach at 6 p.m. Then, it was school on Thursday and Friday. I have been totally exhausted from all of the travel and kid managing. Mike took the kids today to Granbury so I could get some more work done on my prospectus, which must be accepted before I can begin my thesis work. Please pray for me right now: it is more stressful than I thought. Max was at my parents, so that means Molly and Jack got to play with their cousin, whom they adore. Last night we decorated jack olanters, and we are hoping they don't get smashed before Halloween. I will post pics later.
