Happenings/a catch up/updates

So I've been here and there the last week or so, with work of course. Its really picking up and throwing me for a loop. Memorial weekend is upon us, so the start of warmer days have cranked up.
Lori has graduated from her class and spending most of her summer at the beach. Shes almost a teen now. A teen!! She will also be helping with G and PG on the their farm for some spending cash.
My parents seem to be getting along, probably because the three major issues have moved out of the house and out of their hair. Another reason is my Pops is going to a counseling and the much improvement of my moms health. --- sighs a breath.
Mom is doing so much better with her health, she has some low days now and then but that's just the blood disease doing its damage. She goes for her tri-yearly treatments of new blood and shes perked up for a week or two.
Speaking of my Pops and his chats, how I would love to be a fly on the wall to understand what exactly it was that turned him against us. Well, not so much all of us just Jacks and I. Luke was spared the majority of his wrath and Lori only witnessed it on Jacks. I spoke to my mom a couple months ago and she mentioned he was attending something to help him. In my heart I knew it wouldn't last, he proved me wrong. She also mentioned that he would be at some time getting in contact with me to attempt to reconcile our differences. He did, on a few strained occasions. (something I really need to hit in depth later)
Luke is driving down with Kyle this weekend while Julie and Camen and the twins stay at home, surprising to me. Luke says that he and Kyle really haven't had time to spend together. I don't know if Luke is trying to over compensate from the way he was raised or what. Kyle is on his little T-ball team, which of course if hes anything like is aunt means that hes in the outfield rolling around in the clover.
I would like to spend a day or so with the two and get a laugh here and there. Luke wants to start him on a boogie board this go round. I hope I haven't let the cat out of the bag when and if Julie reads this.
Jacks is ever busy at work and school and that's all I know, at the moment hes cut himself off from everyone. Which pisses me off because I cant spew whats going on in his life.
Trace and Michelle update: they had that little rug rat. I wasn't supposed to really mention it until much later but its been nearly a week now. A little girl with sweet big wide eyes and named her Joy. Trace wont put her down so I imagine in a couple of weeks her name might be changed from Joy to something a little less happy.
Traces little sister, Julie is in heaven shes a big grown aunt now, actually shes grown now. I see her driving - oh wow, driving - down the road now and then. Remembering her cute little dances and her and Loris attempt to drive Traces truck through their garage.
I had to go buy PG and G a new BBQ due to the mishap with the newly purchased one that just so happened spilled out on the highway from their trek home. I wont even mention how angry G was with PG and his insistence of not listening to her when she suggested laying it down in the bed of the truck. I thought he knew better to lay something down that had wheels but I guess not.
