We've Made It A Year!

Well it's hard to believe it's been a year already... But we're much happier on this side the year mark the on the other side.

Mike as you know has surpassed all of his doctors expectations. He's back to full time work and pretty much back to "normal".

This past weekend we took the kids along with 4 other families up to Prosser Camp Grounds in Truckee, Ca for Memorial Day Weekend. Mike was so excited since he had official passed his 1 year mark and could now ride the quads. Well he made out and in less than 5 minutes of riding he managed to get himself thrown from the quad and ended up with a badly broken right wrist. We spent the next 3 hours in the ER in Truckee and then back to the camp site. The doctors asked him if he would be heading home and he told them, "It's only a broken wrist, why would I go home?" Gotta love his perspective.

We have a very busy summer planned with the older kids having some sort of camping trip, EFY, girls camp, scout camp or something else to keep us busy.

We are grateful for everyone who has kept our family in their prayers and thoughts.

MIKE CAN DRIVE & STEVIES CHICKEN POX

I'm sure most of you are wondering...and YES Mike passed his driving exam at DMV on Monday. He is now a free man to drive as he wishes. He couldn't be happier. Jonny told me,"Now our family is normal again." Mike not driving affected everybody, even the little ones. Today is actually the first day that Mike has been able to drive himself to work by himself. It's been a good week for the family...

Well almost...as you can see from the above photo, Steven has the chicken pox. It's not any real surprise. I was suspecting he might be coming down with them when he started a fever a few weeks ago with no cause, and with perfect timing the chicken pox arrived Monday night. I'm pretty sure Jonny will have them with in the next two weeks as he has yet to have them and he ran his fever a week after Steven. Everyone else in the family has already had them. So for now it baking soda baths and what ever the 2 year old wants to keep him happy.
