Easy day with very good weather, and time with the girls. The only thing that didn't happen was to get outside and play with Stacy's new "Stomp Rocket." It was one of the gifts she got for her birthday, and she really liked playing with it. She's been talking about learning more about rockets, and growing up to be able to launch bigger ones, all the way to the moon. We didn't get out side because by the time she and Jackie were done playing their Bingo game it was getting too close to dinner and then it was too late to be playing over at the park.

Jason and I went over to Costco to pick up a few things, and as hard as it is, sometimes, we went into Costco and only bought what we intended to get. We came out with spending less than $100, and didn't feel like we forgot anything. We came back to the house and kicked back for a few hours and then in the afternoon I went back over to the CDC (Child Development Center) to pick up the girls. Not sure what was going on, but the two classes were combined today, and it appeared that the girls (in fact all the students) were having a great time. They were all out side, when I arrived, and had been playing pretty hard. Stacy was out of breath, as she had just run across the yard to greet me, and Jackie was right there and jumped up and came and gave me a big hug. Hugs are always good, and when you get them from your grand kids they are even better.

We got back home and the girls started playing in the Doodle Dome, and then Stacy wanted to play with her other toys and finally with the Bingo game. I had dinner ready by 18:15 (6:15pm) and they were all done at 19:00 (7pm), and both of them ran back to watch cartoons in Daddy's room. I left them alone for about a half an hour then it was bath time and finally time to get ready for bed. I read them a couple of stories, letting each of them pick one, and now I'm playing catch up with the other stuff I want to get done. Finally, got to speak with Linda for a little while - she is working so hard on getting the house ready for the work that is about to be done there. I'll be happy to be back up there, early next month, just to see what has been done. Thank you, all for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Sounds like a great day!
    Praying!
    Psalms 121:5-8 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

    Praying as always!
    Psalms 142:1-3a I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a ...

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next....

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh...
