Back to Normal

Megan and Kyanna - First Day Back at School

After the crazy month+ that we've had, things are starting to return to normal. Megan was back at school this week - once just for lunch and then for two full days. On top of that, she went to two tennis matches after school and last night she went to the first PHS football game of the season (they won in an exciting last minute play!). She's worked hard to get caught up with her schoolwork and is just about there. After so many nights in hotels and in the hospital and eating restaurant and carry-out foot, the routine of being at home - things like laundry, cooking, and cleaning are a welcome change.

Hello from the Adirondacks....

Here we are at the top of Bald Mountain in the western Adirondacks.

It's a wonderful hike and we are, of course, enjoying the trip!

This is a better pix from the top of the mountain to the river below. Spectacular place!

Finally a little break

We just rolled into Manchester Center,VT last night. The rain has held of for 2 days now and it is making it a little more enjoyable,it makes it feel less like a job.

Stacy and I are both doing well but ive come under the weather the past day and I need a little break. We plan on taking a day off today so my throat can get a little better and we should be walking our way into Mass in the next 3 days.

Happy Birthday Kelli Jo

Birthday boy

Happy birthday JB!!!!

Hope you have a happy 5-0 birthday. I'm too unorganized to search out a picture (of the last 10 days, I've been home 3). We'll have a big celebration when the party house is up and running again.
