Merry-Go-Round


Wow! I didn't realize I haven't posted on here in almost a year. Lets go back ....
January / February  was pretty uneventful.
March/April/May was full of birthdays and getting through the end of school for the kids and a friend that had an atv accident in March. I am amazed how strong Melissa has been in this and I couldn't imagine what she is going through.
June/July, was pretty good. I worked 4/9 hour days and had one 1/2 day on Wednesdays which I loved! Donn worked and the kids went with him to camp. We went on a very small vacation to Gatlinburg which was great because our friends were at the same hotel so they had kids to play with.
August/September was getting the swing with both kids in school this year.
October has been filled with ups & downs. We went to Disney World !!! What a blast! We all loved it and want to go back ;-)  The next week after coming back my mom was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. I have been in shock. She has taken it really well and I am very thankful that it was caught early. She will have surgery next week for a lumpectomy and to remove lymph nodes. I am glad that its after Thanksgiving so she can enjoy that and hopefully recovered from her surgery by Christmas  even though she will do radiation at some point. We have also struggled with Ty at school some and getting his medication right.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for a lot of things. Donn, the kids,my parents, my In-Laws, friends, the kids teachers and that I have a job.

Happy Thanksgiving ! ;-) I am looking forward to a new year soon.
