Just a Day

I wanted to post before I head off to bed. Gary is still sleeping downstairs because our bed is too high for him to climb in and out of. He is doing a little bit better I think. He went to church for about 1/2 hour yesterday and even went up on stage and spoke for a few moments! He did a great job for a first timer! We all know how much I love getting up in front of people and I think we are both in the same boat. I will say that the more I do it the easier it gets!

Our home group came over last night and we all had a great time! The kids play so well together - all 13 of them! The bounce house is on its very last legs and it has given our home group kids a great year of bouncing, wrestling, playing and jumping! God rest the bounce house!

Nate and Zach had baseball games yesterday and they both had pretty good games. Zach was disappointed in his pitching but we reminded him that he has not pitched since May so he had better not be so hard on himself! He said that he got a few good hits and he had fun! Nate went 3 for 3 and made a play to first for the out! Way to go Nate! They both love the game and have a great time with their friends!

Zach swam at Cameron's this weekend and had a great time and Nate went home with CJ today to play and swim! CARSON'S birthday is today - HAPPY BDAY CARSON and we went to his house tonight to celebrate with pizza and a TRUE ice cream cake! The boys went to bed later than usual and I think the boys think this time of year is just a modified version of summer! Enjoy it now while it is warm, before the homework starts piling on and before the time changes. Times they are a changin'!

Gary has an appointment on Thursday and I think he is a little nervous about it. He is struggling a little right now. He is tired of the healing process and I know he is growing restless from being out of work. He is up for 10 minutes and then is hurting so he has to go back down again. I reminded him that healing is slow and that he needs to stay focused and positive. I am going to take him out and about for a while in the morning to get some fresh air and a fresh perspective.

We have loved everyone calling and coming by to visit. We love the meals and the cards and the out pouring of love and support!

BTW - Something somewhat comical with one of my kids - who shall remain unnamed - that will make you feel like your children are absolute angels.
One of our precious little angels gave me "THE BIRD" last night! Yes, you read correctly! They do not know what it means but they do know that it is something that is unacceptable and they know it is B A D !!!! Do you feel better about your childs behavior now??? Glad I could help some of you out!

Love and Hugs and
