Leo and Rahm with their medals for running  


 I’m sitting in a chair in Aurora CO watching Leo’s flag football game with Paige and Rahm close by. Paige is my niece and Rahm is her youngest child. I’m here to babysit Paige and Marcus’s three kids with Darlene, Paige's mom. Vail is 9, Leo is 6 and Rahm is 3. Paige and Marcus are headed to Norway for their 15th anniversary trip. 

These kids have incredibly busy schedules with school, baseball, football, hockey, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and run club. 

After this football game we’re headed to Vail’s soccer games, two of them, then Leo and Rahm will each run a race. Of course the soccer games and the races are on complete opposite sides of town! 

Later…

Paige and Marcus leave tomorrow so the kids are all bathed and fed and ready for bed. Im exhausted and I didn’t do much! (Except play a little soccer and throw the football around with Leo in 90 degree temps!) Darlene will be here tomorrow and Paige and Marcus will take them to school and say goodbye. Then Darlene and I will have a busy, fun filled week where we’ll try to stay sane!

Darlene took Vail and Leo to school, I waited at home with Rahm and he rollerbladed around the family room and kitchen with a hockey stick and ball. He’s getting good! When Darlene returned, we both took Rahm to school and then headed to Steve’s to say hello to he and Connie and for me to get adjusted. We had a nice visit.  Right down the street from Steve’s clinic is Cherry Creek Retirement Center, Alene’s new home. The last I saw her was the end of July. Her dementia is so much worse. It’s so sad. Darlene and I along with Alene and her friend Kaye went to lunch. For nearly an hour before leaving for lunch, we looked for Alene’s wallet. It was found after lunch. Whew!  We didn’t get to visit too much after lunch because Dar...
