We are still here!

Finally - I was having problems signing into my own blog for some reason:) We have just been busy with life... A week and a half ago, my dad was scheduled for another heart cath, was all doped up, IV inserted and the doctor had an emergency surgery and they unhooked my dad and sent him home and rescheduled him for this past Monday. Everything went without a hitch - they put in 3 more stents into 2 different arteries off the third main artery. They were 70 and 80 percent blocked so now he has a total of 6 stents and is feeling much better! His shoulder pain has gone and the chest pain. Praise the Lord! We had fun visiting in the hospital with his pastor, my aunt Tara and Teresa. Got to go out for lunch a few times, too:) Took my Dad-in law for his carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. So, I've had enough of hospitals for awhile, ok??? Everyone stay healthy for awhile:) We spent the day today in Birch Run at the horse expo, then lunch and then dropped Brooke and Jean off at the church for a youth activity. I cleaned house yesterday and this morning so it feels good to have everything done! School is going ok - trying to get on a schedule still... I am struggling with getting everyone to everything they should be, but we will get through! i don't think we have any appointments next week so far, so we should be able to hunker down and do better next week! We get it all done, just seems to take alllll day sometimes! The snow storm was fun - I had gotten groceries the day before so I wouldn't need to go out at all. The neighbor plowed us out again! I took Isaac and Erin outside for a bit and we played in the snow and did some sledding!

I am so ready for spring - not the mud that is going to come with it:( But, warm days, being outside much more just seems so inviting!!! We haven't heard from work at all - rumors fly about the start up date. A few people we know who put in to transfer permanently to Lansing have gotten called and start Monday. Someone said Flint Truck and Bus is adding a shift in July and Ft. Wayne Indiana is adding a shift in August so life could get very interesting! I am praying for Flint - it is closer to home and we put in for it as a permanent transfer! God knows what we need and is still in charge and on the throne! The time has really gone by fast - I am always busy and don't know how I ever got it all done when I was working! I cook a lot more now and find myself running out of ideas now that I'm doing breakfast, lunch and dinner! We do simple things like cereal/oatmeal most mornings, but try a few "big" breakfasts a week to change it up! Jeremy and I went out last week and enjoyed Applebees 2 for 20! That is a great and filling deal!

Speaking of Jeremy... he has had quite the adventure this week and I can't wait to see him tonight:) Just in time for Valentine's day!!! The kids are so excited! Erin fell asleep sitting here with me just now. I woke her up and said you can't go to sleep this early, we have to go and get daddy! "Can we go and get him right now???" she says... Hard to believe Lyndsay is going to turn 2 years old next week! There are new babies being born at church once a month it seems now for a few months - gotta hold one one of these days!!! I need to start potty training...

Okay, gotta go and get some messes the mighty mess makers have made cleaned up and get their jammies on! Have a great Lord's day everyone!
