Another Year Down, New Challenges Ahead

Today was the last full day of school for Banana and Squish.  Tomorrow (which also happens to be my birthday), they'll go to school for a half day, then come home with one of their friends, and we will go out for lunch to celebrate.  Tuesday, they start day camp.  And before we know it, August will be here, and they will be off to overnight camp for the first time ever.  I'm excited for them, but wonder how it will be without the two of them for 16 whole days.

But of course, we have their birthday first. They've already had their birthday party with their friends.  July 10, my babies hit their first double digit birthday!  Traditionally, I host a dinner for my parents, The Hubs' parents and my Bubie (this will be our first year without my Grandma).  This year will be no different, except for the obvious missing of Grandma.  I think this will be one of the first years that the dinner will be after their actual day.  

At the end of the summer we get to celebrate. My sister is getting married!!!  I'm so excited!  Her fiancĂ© is a sweetie. I really like him. And they are so good together.  It's wonderful to see.  We (the Hubs and /or I) will have to drive up to the girls overnight camp to bring them home.  Camp ends on August 19, but the wedding is on the 18th.  

As for the challenges, I've been having some... Let's say... Lady issues.  I've been to the doctor and had several types of ultrasounds, and biopsies. The endometrial biopsy came back per-cancerous.  I also have an intrauterine polyp that will be surgically removed this summer.  Right now the surgery is set for August 21, but the doctor wants it in July, so I'm waiting for an earlier date.  Of course, I'm not letting this get me down.  No point in worrying about something until there is something to worry about. So I'm staying positive.  

So, let's focus on my wonderful girls, and their step toward tween hood, their first summer away, and all the good stuff we have coming up.
