What a wonderfully quite and relaxed weekend. Jason did get out to doing some shooting of his "new" Colt 45 revolver (1917 original Peacmaker), and found out that there was some issues with how the mechanism needs some adjustments (he only got off 5 shots and then it jammed). It was also the 38th birthday for George, our oldest son (Jason's oldest brother). We will be going up to see him next week, along with Sean, our other son who lives in San Francisco.

Other than that there really wasn't much done this past weekend, other than some normal daily living activities, like shopping and cleaning, and one other unusual activity, and that was getting some pictures taken of the girls for a special project that Linda plans to work on. We took the girls to the Picture People, and they took a bunch of photos of the girls in different outfits. It was actually a lot of fun and the girls had a great time. I was totally involved in watching and carrying things, while Linda had the most work of making sure the girls were wearing the right things at the right times. All this while making it fun for the girls - I'm glad she was doing it.

We did get out to one of the local play areas, the girls like to call "parks" and let them, Stacy and Jackie, have some fun out side. They got to ride their bikes and that was good, and we spent an hour or more in heavy activity. One of our focuses is to make sure the girls do get plenty of exercise, and heading over to the school for bike riding or going to one of the play areas helps a great deal with this.

Tomorrow we will be heading up to Newport, and having dinner with some friends. The down side to this is that I won't be able to post afterward, as I don't think we will be getting home until after midnight. The dinner will be a chance for Jason to work with one of the celebrity chefs in the area, and we are looking forward to seeing just what it is they're going to be "cooking"  up. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    Know that I'm always praying!
    Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

    Lifting up prayers to the Only One who can hear and answer according to His Will!
    Psalms 34:4, 6-7 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (6-7) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

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...
