north carolina in march - mom's birthday - the zoo - the park - cooking out at jon's, the amethyst in austin's backpack, jon and rob in their ninja turtle costumes, one of them prancing rather strangely, emily fishing with austin in a wheelbarrow, reagan playing tag, katie and molly trying to sleep in the van, mom's new place, julie being called girl and rob or jon being called guy, a pretty pink blanket present for reagan, quizzing mom about her life, french toast, sour dough rolls - can i repeat... sour dough rolls.
all in all we had a great time - it was warm, felt like an early spring, we loved to visit with the family and LOVED how they played with the kids. nothing like trying to catch up on everyone. wish everyone could have been there...
mom, scan the pictures for us...
i find it a lot easier to post pictures of my grandkids or children on this blog than i do to actually put my thoughts out there. and i probably always will. so no deep thoughts - but i certainly do feel lucky this week. that may sound weird considering what we have gone through, but it could have been so much worse. when i first found bud convulsing, with his eyes rolled back and blood pouring out, i was terrified that what i was seeing was hemmorhaging from his brain. i thought the 'big one' - the massive stroke - had hit.
but it hadn't. and although bud is still - and always will be - at risk... he made it through one more time. more meds added to his regime - he needs to watch his pressure closer - he is more unstable and needs his cane - but he is recovering.
the kids were right there with him - family is wonderful. we are lucky - and blessed.
it was quite a trick trying to hold the camera myself to take our picture - but we did it.
can you see me hiding???
Karyna never misses a trick... Notice how closely she pays attention to everything? She is taking everything in - and she is already her OWN person. Another case of the younger sibling (Molly & Nick can testify to this) being a strong personality - not exactly easy to push around.
