Change of Dates

Surgery will be first thing Friday morning. Thank you for your thoughts/prayers.

Needed: Prayers

This post is long over due - and not sure if anyone still checks this, but in the event that you do ...

Dad fell last week and broke is left arm. He has been in increased pain and we just found out today that his bone punctured through the skin. This has left us with a difficult situation - there isn't an easy answer, but we are going to proceeding with surgery tomorrow (Thursday).

Prayers would be appreciated.

As promised ...

Better late than never! Some pictures of the building as it progresses. C & C get excited when we get back from a day at "work". It is all coming together ~ I am FINALLY beginning to see what the building will look like. Dimensions mean little to me, but I get beams!

Here's to Evan!

Last week we visited Bapo at M's house. The boys enjoyed "Dad's friend" together. To all of you out there who share this "special friend" - cheers!

Pics of the building coming soon!

Me, not Dad ;o).

So sorry for the delay in posts and this isn't going to be a very lengthy one either. Life has been busy and energies have be spent getting through the day to day. Dad needs our thoughts and prayers as his pain increases. Jet is his constant companion and for that he is grateful.

Our family went up to NE to visit this weekend and took our puppy, Charlie with us. Charlie was thankful to see his playing buddy Jet AND get cuddles from Dad. He jumped right up onto Dad's bed and snuggled in for a love or two. Miss and my youngest boys made a "Grandpa Sandwich". We have some pictures to load of our trip as well as the building. C and C are excited to see "Grandpa's home" grow and grow. The weather might hold us up for a day or two - rain, rain go away!

Thank you for checking on us. My goal is to update the blog WITH pictures this week. As my moto has been this summer and fall: One Day at a Time!

Thinking of you too!

He's now a Northerner

As of Thursday ... Bapo is back in his "home state" ~ Nebraska. He moved up with M & B and crew. I have spoke with him a couple of times, but not as much as I would like. My new teaching job is going well - S had school pictures this week and C & C are enjoying Pre-school. I have pictures to post. I will work on it this weekend sometime, so check back. I will update the mailing address as well!

Really ... we ARE here!

So sorry for the lag in post dates. We ALL just finished up our first FULL weeks of school...Nebraska and Missouri. Personally, I am enjoying my teaching job and Shayna is adjusting and enjoying 5th grade. Our little ones are adjusting to full-time daycare. Camryn lives for her "days off" (don't we all). I will need to get a report from the Y clan to know how their first week went. I spoke with Melissa quite a few times this past week and there were never any POOR reports, so I am trusting all is well at St. Mary's and Aquinas.

The building continues to go up - the forms are in for the "curb" and the holes have been dug and have captured some frogs for good measure. I will try to get some pictures today and get them posted in the near future. The little ones and I are heading up to see Bapo today, and I will TRY to remember my camera to take some pictures of Dad and his best buddy, Jet. His visits are always a highlight to Dad's day (he enjoys us too!).

The picture collage is from last weekend when M, B and crew were down. M and I had a nice visit with Dad while G and B took the kiddos to Trails West to watch a magician show of some sort. Cale is missing from the group picture because he has had a cough and running nose and we didn't need to pass that on to Bapo. He went home for a nap with Gary. The beautiful flowers are from the Haselhorst family ... thank you so much. We have appreciated visits from Dad's friends and our family too. If you are wanting to visit - give M or I a call ... or drop a note here and we will get in touch with you.

He is going to be moving, but you are going to have to wait to find out to where!
