Monster Jam

A few weeks ago, Dave, Cameron, Grandad, and a few friends went to the Monster Jam in Raleigh.

While this was a huge hit with the guys, the ladies were happy to have some down time.


Even Caleb was awed by the monster trucks. Dave took these pics w his phone.

Life is never, ever dull

Jackie was invited to join the 'team' in gymnastics. She's over the moon. Practice will be 4 hrs/wk, competitions, uniforms, etc. I'm trying to coordinate the kids gymnastics classes so we are only going to/from the gym 2d/w. Did I mention that we also have soccer, swimming, math class, science class, piano, and girl scouts? (HATE my scheduler). CamO was also moved up in gymnastics, but there's no boys competition team at this gym. He's the littlest and youngest one by years and 6 inches. Lucy will forever be in preschool gymnastics-even in high school. We have scheduled her eye surgery for May 8. They will do both eyes at once and she'll temporarily be cross-eyed. Once she can see the apparatus, I suspect Lucy will also get moved up in gymnastics.


The best part of the week was the emergency visit to the vet. Bear got a hold of Happy's rimadyl (thankfully only a few pills). A few hundred dollars, medicine, IV fluids, and one gassy dog later, Bear is out of the woods. Now that he visited the ER, Bear is an official member of our family.


In all seriousness, Holly's mom and Karen's dad could use your prayers. We pray for peace and acceptance for them and their families.
