Last weekend I was in PA for my cousin's graduation party - Anna from college and Doug from high school. It was a busy, fun weekend. I arrived earlier and stayed longer than others, and I am so glad I did. I really had a great time.
Anna & Doug, the graduates!
Autumn - my sweet buddy.
Joshua eating raisins..he too is a sweetheart.
Brooke eating at the party...another sweetheart!
Amma just got a strike on Wii bowling!
Ampa bowling and yelling at the bowling ball to move over! 
I am so lucky to have such a loving and supportive family. I took over 200 pictures and had a hard time picking ones to put on my blog.
In other news, it has been a nice 4th of July weekend. My birthday was spent shopping with Myra, my mother-in-law. We had lunch then hit up the mall. I treated myself to a new pair of sunglasses and a Vera Bradley eyeglass holder for the new sunglasses. Then that night my mom and dad came over for drinks and we all walked to Casa Fiesta for dinner. It was then back to the condo to open gifts. My birthday was a nice day, despite the crappy, rainy weather. On the 4th itself Myra and I went to the 4th of July parade in Gahanna with my parents, where I proceeded to cry like a baby as the flag corps marched by. This was the first parade in 10 years that I wasn't it, and I took it harder than I thought I would. That afternoon Myra, John, and I had a small bbq, and we had my good friend Lori as well, then the four of us headed to Gahanna for the fireworks.
This week ahead is going to be for relaxing, catching up with friends, and reading a few good books, among other things. I can't believe 1/2 the summer is almost gone!
Lastly, I want to let everyone know that John and I ARE moving forward with our 2nd IVF. My period started yesterday and I will start my mandatory birth control pills tomorrow. I have decided, however, to not blog much about it. I would rather keep our personal information off my blog, as I don't know if students can read this or any other stranger, for that matter. So, if you are a blog reader and would like to be part of the e-mail updates, I will be happy to send that to you...please e-mail me at jjkj2004@gmail.com to get added to my "IVF support group" e-mail list.
