Kristi's New Do

Mom decided Kristi needed a change in hairstyle so we scheduled a haircut and perm. Kristi just loves the new look. She signs the pretty sign and then pats her hair and gives a great big smile. I think for the summer this will work out so good for her.

Anniversary

Today is always such a bittersweet day. We share this day our wedding anniversary and the anniversary of the childrens accident. I always said it was good that I had something good on such a bad day but it seems that the accident always brings a little bit of the bad out more.
So much to be thankful for though. How thankful I am that Patrick came out whole and Kristi has made so many headways but how much I miss that she didn't come fully. That is just the selfishness coming through because I know how much she would of been such a great mother, she was so looking forward to that.
One this day especially is when those moments spill over. The memories of her times and her memories that she shared. I am so thankful that one of Ron's cousins got a picture of her in her wedding gown. Kristi looked so much older in it and so much like a bride.
A mother misses those things with a daughter.
So on our 23rd wedding anniverary and our children 14th anniversary we have made it yet another year!
Thank God for His many Blessings! He has carried us through

Spring 2010 finally here

Spring finally arrives with wonderful 80* temperatures. With it mowing of the grass and the bugs. The magnolia blossooms this year even lasted through a downpour of rain and high winds. How our little grandchildren have loved to climb in its lower branches. I am waiting for the day for it to break down the middle. We cherish the days when they climb in them and then get down safely.

Stitches Removed and 2nd Cast Put On

Slowly but surely I'm making headway to getting my cast off. Went to the dr last Friday and the first cast was removed and the stitches taken out. Kristi wasn't too sure about what they were doing and was trying to make sure everything was okay. She made sure she was close at hand.
Xray showed all was healing well, put another cast on and return in two more weeks.
If all goes well I get the cast off, the pins taken out and I will be in a removal brace. HORRAH!
From there, I think I have to go onto therapy to get my thumb and wrist moving again.
Will let you know from there.
Ever try doing your hair with one hand or anything else?
Have a safe and happy spring and for all the farmers be safe!
