We had a large rain storm and the puddles it left behind were just too irresistible to Emily!  I wish adults could relearn how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life!

Poppy and Nana sent Emily a really cool card that is a coloring poster on the inside.  Emily immediately ran into the other room and started coloring away!  Thanks Poppy & Nana!

Well, I started another series of epidural injections but this time for my neck.  When I was rear-ended by the school bus in 2007, I injured my back, neck and wrist.  I have had surgery on my wrist and two … Continue reading →

Emily’s hair is finally long enough to French braid!  Okay, it’s been long enough for a while but the front pieces were always too short to stay in a french braid.  Doesn’t it look amazing?!?!?!?  

We are so proud of Andrew.  He won a medal in school today for academic excellence.  He only made one B this year – everything else was straight A’s!

The 8 of us headed to the “lincoln log” park today and had a great time despite the heat.  We threw the football and frisbee and watched the kids run through the wooden castle.  Nathan had fun climbing a tree.
