Tuesday-What a weekend. Cody was supposed to come home on Saturday. Well, the hurricane was approaching and fast. I called to let he and his dad know that they needed to change the flight. Well, since that was MY decision that was just not happening. So on Friday while we were stressing about how and when to get Cody home, Casey got home!!! Back to GA, but not overseas!! So thrilled. I get one back in the states and the other one is stuck in Canada...typical!! So the plan was for Cody to try to come as scheduled on Saturday which I knew was not happening. So the storm roars through here and I lose power which makes it the cell phones weak too. So the plan to get Cody is for us to drive halfway on Monday and meet. I needed to get him home. He was stressing about not being here and I know he was worried about the storm and all. The storm closed one section of the trip so on the way home, we were re routed. Cody did well while he was away. I am proud of him. He gets in the car and says "I need junk food!" (His dad's family are vegetarians-not the way to gain weight!) He ate pretty good yesterday, Roy Rogers for lunch and Mc Donald's for dinner-LOL.

Today was his monthly visit at Sloan and he was upset because he lost 1/2 a kilo. His weight is a real concern for him. He is fine. He got 2 more shots and labs were great.

Tonight we were getting things set for his first day of classes and he is nervous! He will be fine! He is concerned about meeting people. I think he will be fine!

Good luck to all those starting for the first time!

So happy to have Casey back. Sending him a welcome home box full of candies!!

So it has been a few weeks since I last wrote. Cody is in Canada visiting his dad. He left Tuesday after his Islander interview which he will do doing the internships!!! He is thrilled!!! Basically he can do the game operations AND the community relations ones. He can do as much as he can. We will see how it all goes with his work load at school. We went to his back to school orientation and he was very excited!

Unfortunately today we are preparing for the hurricane. Hurricane Irene will hit us on Sunday. Not too thrilled and a little scared but will get things prepared more today.

Cody has been feeling great!! He is trying to eat more and is definitely keeping up with his fluids.

We are anxiously awaiting Casey's arrival back to the states, GA. Basically, it is any day now!!

(Can't understand why I have IBS!! LOL)

Well, let's hope the hurricane doesn't do too much to us. Be safe my Long Island friends!! XO

Wednesday-Well, summer is winding down. I am not too happy about it as I have enjoyed winging it and Cody has been feeling great!!

Next week he will go to Canada for a few days to see his dad. We have open house on Monday for Dowling and then he interviews for the internship with the Islanders on Tuesday. This weekend is another ride with the mini's.

Cody has been feeling good and is eating and drinking a lot too. He has had a couple outings with his friends. I think the kids are sad about leaving each other. One of his friend's, the Mincone family lost their dad. Cody knows one of the sons and I had one in kindergarten. We are going to a memorial service tomorrow night for that. I know he will see some of his friends there but not on a happy occasion.

I am worried about him going away but we both need this. He will do fine. He knows what to do. It is just an hour away by plane. Wish us luck, both of us!

Good luck to all the college kids that are leaving. I know how hard it is. I remember the day Casey left. Nicole is going to a meeting today and hopefully she will find out when Casey is coming home. He said he was packing when we last chatting so I hope that is a good sign!

Monday-Happy August..not too happy about being August.

We have had a great summer and I hate to see it end. I love fall weather though! Tomorrow we are going to the Yankee game. Cody's friends, Tom and Ben are going.

Today old neighbors from our block, Asha and Kushal stopped by. They moved to TX in 2004. The kids were so little. It was nice to see them. Good times.

We are enjoying our relaxing time and hate it to end. Cody is going to go to Canada for a few days with his dad in 2 weeks. I am nervous but he will be fine.

We are praying hard for Casey's safe return. Just read about another guy he knew that did not make it. He has to get out of there. 2 more weeks. I am waiting for him to come online to chat. We missed his calls 2x today! We really miss him and pray for his safely. Love you, son!
