A time to get caught up

I've set down quite a few times to get everything updated and it's amazing what distractions can come up. So, what's been going on in our lives lately?

My healthy living lifestyle is going okay. The six week mark has been very hard. I've not done well at all this week. I'm really concentrating and focusing on next week to start back up. It's the whole story of it seems harder to take off than to put on. I'm sorry, but lifting weights does not taste as good as chocolate pie. But, I've gotten my focus off my goals and back on food and I've got to fix that. So next week I start again!!

We've finally gotten a new stove--at least new to us. It's so nice to have four burners and a stove that works--now for a refrigerator and we'll be set.

Sherrianne has her surgery on the 4th of September. Reality has started to sink in for her and she's both scared and excited. Recovery time frame is longer than the surgery we had two years ago, but of course they are doing more things to help repair the knee. We will probably be coming home that day but we're not positive. Either way it will be a long and tiring day for all of us. We feel very confident about our doctor and truly believe that he has her best interests in mind.

I've moved the living room around--which drives Mike crazy. But I like it. You can't do a lot with a little room but sometimes a little change is better than none.

Jason (Mike's brother) will be moving out here around the first of October and his mom will be coming to visit. That will be a lot of fun. Please pray that Jason will be able to find a good job and a reasonable place to live close to the girls.

We celebrated Sherrianne's "friends" party in August with a pool party. It was a beautiful day! We grilled hot dogs and then went swimming. She's decided that she likes having her friends party in the summer. You can do so much more than in the winter.

Bella is still the same, cute and pathetic. We wouldn't want her any other way.

Homeschooling is going well, we'll be taking a break for a couple of weeks, but then once everything is under control we'll get back at it. She really seems to enjoy homeschooling this year. I really hope that continues.

Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day!

Love,
W

Dear Noyes family,
Just wanted to let you know you are all in our prayers today as your sweet little daughter has her surgery. I will be leaving her a little gift at church. We trust everything will go very well and even much better than anticipated. I know this is hard for you as parents.

In His love, Guy and Linn Chiattello
