Everyone is gone! It is always bittersweet when everyone has left. We are glad to have a quiet, clean, organized house, but we miss the family. Alex decided he wants everyone to live with us. I'm not sure Brucey would agree!

Satur​day we spent another day with Ann and Oscar (my Aunt and Uncle). We always have such a good time. They are so gracious about letting us come visit and use their pool. Alex loves them and is so comfortable at their house.

Sunda​y was Dad's birthday and we had a nice quiet day after dropping Mimi and PopPop off at the airport.

Mon​day Grandpa and I decided to take Alex to the Dllas World Aquarium. It is a really cool place that is set up like a rainforest. It was a nice way to spend our last day together.

Ye​sterday we dropped Grandpa off and said our tearful goodbyes. We had a quiet relaxed night and early to bed.

Today I had coffee by myself for the first time in over 2 weeks! It was a day to clean and catch up on household stuff. I also ran Alex's labs. This is the first time we have run labs since getting back from Houston at the end of May. Some stuff is off, but I am hoping it isn't a big deal. Say a prayer Dr. Koenig is not too concerned.

T​he only other news to report is that next week Alex will be going to Vacation Bible School! We are very excited. I am going to volunteer so I am there if we have any problems. My only real concern is the heat. It has been brutally hot. Alex can not stand to be outside at all right now! I am hoping that his cooling vest will do the trick and he will enjoy his time.
