2 days and counting .....



Jon and I leave for Maui in two days. It couldn't be happening at a better time. It has been a rough winter and I don't deal well with the cold. A big thanks to Aunt Brittany for coming to take care of the kids. The girls are so excited that baby Abe will be here (Aunt Brittany, too).

This will be our third trip to Maui with our great friends Scott and Tiffany Hardy. They keep inviting us (I guess that means they still like us?)!

I will post pictures when we get back -- 7 whole days in paradise!

Parent's of the Year?


Well, after almost two weeks of TJ complaining that his arm hurt (due to snowboarding off of a skate board ramp), Jon told me I should probably take him to the doctor. We went last Friday and then to the Orthopedic today. He has a "bulge" fracture and has to have his arm in a cast for two weeks. It has been interesting to tell both doctors that he complained about if for about a week and a half. Of course, to be fair, he did tell his dad about it first and I just found out it hurt last week. I don't think I would have done anything different.

When we were waiting for the X-Ray results last Friday, I told him if they came back negative he was going to have to start using his arm more and stop complaining -- UH - OH. He quickly reminded me that I had said that after we saw the X-Rays.

12 1/2 years and 4 kids later and this is our first broken bone -- pretty impressive. They obviously don't take after their dad who was called "crash and burn" as a little boy. The jury is still out on Blake and the doctor today said he thought I would be back before to long after he watched Blake in his office today.
