Family update
I'm sorry for the lack of updates on our blog. Life in our household has been busy, busy. Especially now that school is out for the summer.
First and foremost we have celebrated 2 birthdays since the last update! Jeff had his 9th birthday in April and Grant hit the big ONE in May. Our boys are getting so big and growing up faster than we want them to.
Jeff's arm has healed but still has the rod in place. It will be removed a few weeks before school starts again. The cast has been removed and he is back to being a normal kid again. He even got back on his scooter without a second thought. We are proud of him for that. He has attended VBS at our church and I hope to get him into some more day camps to keep him busy. If it were up to him he would spend all his days watching tv or playing video games. He will start the 4th grade in August. Wow, time flies!
Grant is completely mobile now and, as expected, is in to EVERYTHING! He keeps Mom on her toes. His vocabulary has skyrocketed. We've counted 25+ words that he can say and understand. He weighed 27 lbs at his 1 year visit and is developing normally. He got the chicken pox immunization at 1 year and developed a small outbreak of them a few weeks later. Poor little guy felt awful and we were glad to get over those. His doctor said the outbreak is a good sign that the immunization took and we shouldn't have to worry about him getting the chicken pox in the future. He still loves to be outside and has been to the swimming pool a few times. He's a little fish just like his brother; loves the water.
Shane is still in the retail industry but has been looking for a career elsewhere. His current job does not allow for much of a social life. He has been going non-stop since he started working there and we are all burned out and need a vacation. Please pray that he finds something that will be able to keep us financially afloat and allow time for family time. I have started a Medical Transcriptionist program and will be certified by May 2011. My goal is to bring in an extra income and be able to stay home with the boys.
