Revisiting my Blog

Well, for not posting anymore than I do, I sure do love changing the design and color of everything.

So you are probably wondering...what ever happened to that nice family? ...Rest assured, we are all doing fine. 

Quick updates for those who don't know.  My latest MRI was Clear and my head looks "stable" for now.  (Of course, that may depend on who you ask!)  My neurologist seems pleased and I'm content with that!

Nathan has sprouted up and is now a few inches taller than me.  I knew that day was coming, but it came all too soon for me.  Of course at 13, he's still aiming to be taller than his dad!  He may just get there.  He is playing Basketball with 4 of his homeschool friends on a church league.  He's loving it and is really looking forward to the games starting next week.

Nicole has also sprouted up.  She's not as tall as me yet, but we can wear the same size shoe.  So, I'm guessing she will pass me too.  But that's ok!  She loves being outside, playing with friends and Simon.

Simon has been such a great part of our family.  He is really a great dog and we all love to spoil him.  The kids would accuse me of being the worst, but he's worth it!

Of course we continue to be busy with Murray State Athletic events, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  Not much else too intersting to report.  Just taking one day at a time!

Snow, snow and more snow

Well, it's not the blizzard conditions that others have experienced, but we sure have had our share of snow this year.  We had snow on Christmas even!  Nicole has enjoyed every minute of the winter wonderland!  Simon hasn't minded it too much either!

I hope all our friends in Texas and Oklahoma have thawed out and hope the rest of you thaw soon!  I'm sure none of us will mind if spring comes a little earlier this year!

Stay warm!!

Happy New Year 2011

Ok, it's now 2011.  So far the new year has been good.  We spent Christmas at home this year.  It's the first time in a LONG time that we have not traveled anywhere for Christmas.  Allen had 2 weeks off from work with only a few games to attend, so we got some good quality time with him.

After Christmas we spent a day in Nashville doing a little shopping, had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and went to see the Dallas stars play hockey against the Predators.  The Stars won so we had a great time!

Over the New Year's holiday the kids and I drove up to KC to spend a few days with Allen's family and we are currently in Arkansas visiting my family. 

With the exception of a trifle cold, we have all been well.  My health is good and I am so thankful for that.  I will see my neurologist in May which will be the 2 year anniversary of my brain surgery.  God has been so good!

The kids are still doing really well in school.  Nathan is doing the Abeka DVD program and really likes it.  It has freed up more time for me to work with Nicole and that has been good.  We are fortunate to have the ability to homeschool and do all the fun things it affords when we travel with Allen.  We are hoping for another NCAA tournament appearance and will be anxious to see where that may take us.  So far we have hit both coasts, maybe this year we could get something in the middle! 

Well, we wish you all a Happy New Year and pray you will experience God and His blessings in a special way this year!
