I just realized that it has been quite some time since we’ve posted any information here. Looking back, I can really see why. We’ve had quite a time the last few weeks. It’s been a growth experience for us all.

Perhaps one of the real “highlights” is the fact that Jaclyn broke her arm roller skating. She went to a friend’s birthday bash and fell. She was a real trooper and was fighting through the pain over the first couple of days, so we decided to wait until Monday for a doctor visit. It wasn’t terribly miscolored, so we weren’t overly concerned and I was banking on a major sprain. However, x-ray showed differently. So we were to take her back in a few days for casting. However, that was one of those wonderfully icy wintery days we had here this month; however we were fortunate enough to make it over later that day and got the mission accomplished.

On that same day we were fortunate enough to finish the purchase of our van to replace the one the insurance company totaled out after a weather related incident in December. We were a one vehicle family for a month or so. Luckily we could rely on the generosity of wonderful friends. We have borrowed so many vehicles over the past month it’s been hard to keep track of them all. We are so grateful to so many generous people.

The past month has been one of faith and growth around our house as well. It’s been a month of snow days, illness through almost all of us, and many trials and tribulations. We are all looking forward to a “boring” life again soon hopefully.

We look forward to hearing updates on all of you.

Take care and Make it a Great Day!
