Time flies...

I got on my blog and looked at my last post date... where did the time go?? WOW!! Anyways we have been super busy around here...

Katelyn and Austin are back in school, 3rd and 1st grade. I can not believe how excited they come home every day after school.. They got the best teachers ever!!! Austin is in football right now, he is so amazing to watch. He is a running back and I can not tell you how much that kid amazes me.. He is so fast. Katelyn is doing cheerleading and she is loving it!! She makes a perfect one too cause she is so loud. :)...

I am enjoying my time with Bryce... He is so different when the siblings arent around... He cracks me up everyday!!

The last month has been a medical nightmare for me!! I was admitted to the hospital with a kidney infection, and come to find out I have kidney stones on the left and right side. Also multiple gall stones so my gall bladder has to come out in the next month. They went and took the left side kidney stone out last week and I have a stent in for a week.... UGH... It is very uncomfortable!! The right kidney stone is going to go through some shock waves to see if they can be broke up so I don't have to get that one surgical removed. It makes me realize how lucky I really am when I am not sick and down. I can get so much done and I am crazy active!!

School for me is still going strong.... less than 7 months left!!! YEAH!! I am in a radiology class right now and I am really enjoying it!! I have been exploring my options to my future and I am not quite sure of where I want to take my career yet!!

Cody has been really good!! He has been really busy at work and then he comes home and does such an amazing job with our family. He is always doing something with the kids with sports or taking care of me!! I don't know what I would do without him!!

The last name of our family is almost complete with all the members of this family!! We are going through the adoption process right now as well for Katelyn. She is very excited to have the same last name as all the of us. At school she is still my maiden name and that does bug her A lot!! We are gonna have a large party after it is complete to make it OFFICIAL!! This is exciting because it has been 7 years of a thought and now it is coming to reality that we are all HERRMANNs. Cody is such an amazing dad to her!! He has never looked at her any different than our boys and I love how much this experience has brought them closer!!

Last but not least, our other exciting news is we had our home visit last night and got to look through all the girl foreign exchange students. Ours will be here in January and she will be here for the year!! We are so excited because she matches our family perfectly. She sounds so much like a little of each of us... She loves food and accessories like Katelyn, she likes volleyball and is adventurous like me. Her mother and father both are bankers, similar to Cody. She has a little 1 year old brother so kids won't be anything new for her!!! She is from Brazil and we are so excited to share our home with her and learn a new culture!! As soon as I get to start talking to her I will ask to post pics of her so you can all see her!!!

So we have been busy but we are so excited to the new adventures, good and bad, that is in store for us!! the health issue is just a little bump in the road but I have learned so much from it, especially when it comes to drinking pop, which is a NO NO.. and eating with my diet!! I actually eat salad!!!

I will post again soon!! I am terrible with getting pictures off my camera so as soon as I do I will post the kids going to school and some newer pictures!!
