I didn't realize how easy it would be to log in to blogger again after such a long absence. I thought I'd have to give a retinal scan or something...
Anywhooo...Here are some pics of the last few weeks...
Shawn's birthday - kiddos with the cousins in NJ
Ezra in PapPap's backyard... Roosters!
Here are some stats of the last few weeks.
The bad news first...
Our foster german shepherd, Otto, is no longer part of the family. Sadly, he died in an accident. That leaves our elderly lab, Keely and our death-cheating beagle pup, Echo.
My father has had some serious health problems and remains in the ICU following his craniotimy last week. His recovery (if he is even considered in recovery yet) is slow and we hope he will regain his previous mental status, though that remains to be seen.
Our entire nuclear family experienced some sort of flu that could've been swine-flu or maybe not. It was a long drawn-out couple of weeks. Glad we're all better.
Now the non-bad news...
We had a nice time in NJ for thanksgiving. The kiddos enjoyed the time they spent with cousins, aunts/uncles and of course 'grammie and pap-pap'. On Thanksgiving day, Al and I wandered the Princeton campus and the very historic cemetery there.
We're almost done with Christmas shopping!
Ezra seems to be progressing with his speech and behavior - although he really is still the terror of the church nursery.
Uncle Chris came for a visit.
Ruth and Daniel are doing well with school. Tests today - so I really shouldn't take forever on this post. :)
So, there it is. My silence shattering post. As you can see, there hasn't been much to blog about, but I hope you will enjoy the pictures, Uncle Charlie.
