So I dont have any excuse for not posting. But if I may brag on myself, I only waited two months to post this time. Life has been crazy busy as usual. School is in full swing and we are in the sixth week. This is the first day of school this year. I had to be reminded by Isaac to take the picture and after a lot of complaints, I got this shot. I bet you can't figure out who was doing the complaining! Yep, you guessed....I am sure of it. Carson is in the 7th grade now, Luke 5th, Isaac 5th and Grace 2nd. Where does the time go?
It is hard to believe Matt has been home for ten months now. He is still playing poker for a living, which is a lot of fun for him...when he is winning. As of now, we will continue to do that. You know us, up for any kind of adventure and if there was every a time he could give this a go..that would be now.
Luke got a new wheelchair at the beginning of this school year... Raul, our equipment guy said it weighed the same. HE LIED!!!! His old chair weighed 48 pounds approximately. His new one weighs 86 pounds and we know this because Matt got on the scale with it. And yes, we do have to lift it into the back of the van. This leads me to my next new bit of info....
I went to the doctor yesterday. The very first thing that he said to me when he walked in the door is "you have gained 22 pounds in the last year"....I say.." Hmm. I had no idea". Total bogus answer!!!!! I have eaten way awful this summer with the kids home. but we are back in full swing activity now....So the pounds should be coming off. Will I ever just not care about what my weight is? I doubt it, I figure I have a lifetime of lifting Lukers and wheelchairs, I better get it together!
Carson has braces now and Isaac gets them on Monday. Wow, where is that money tree in the back yard. I am still waiting for it to bloom!
Grace is one of the most persistent children I have ever met. I mean, I know you have to be tough when you are the youngest and the only girl, but DAWG....she can drive a car right into a tree with the persistent questions she ask. If you do not anwer her, she only ask more and louder until she gets and answer. That does not mix well with my maternal ability to shut off all sounds that children make. I guess I should work on that.
Overall, we are doing well. I will try to post sooner next time!
