Space Invaders

Samuel, Gabby, and I built this spaceship for our stuffed animals so they could go to the moon. If you look closely you can see into the cockpit of the spaceship. By: Rebekah

Part time plumber

We discovered a crack in our toilet which was allowing a small amount of water to drip out. So I made a trip in to town to get a new toilet and Samuel helped me install it. FYI for those who ever need to replace their toilet, its really easy.

A sweet surprise

My girls knew I needed a little pick-me-up one day and left these for me.

On to the Next Phase

Yea for the boot! Being able to partially walk is great, but being able to put my foot down without swelling, is fantastic. I can now cook (sort of), load the dishwasher (mostly), and do a few laps around the house to feel a bit better. I had my first two physical therapy sessions. I am writing the alphabet with my foot three times a day. Today I did a few stretches. Already I have more motion than I did on Monday. Thank-you gentlemen from Lawrenceburg Physical Therapy. I will everything you tell me to do so that I can make it to Texas in January and be able to walk in Paraguay.

Deer season already

Today was the opening day of youth deer season. Unfortunately since we haven't had a frost yet, most of the trees still have their leaves and the bushes are thick. This makes it all but impossible to see very far on our land. We did scare one away as we were walking to the stand in the dark this morning and then we saw one walking through the bushes, but Samuel didn't have a clear shot so he didn't take it.

Pictures

The kids and I went down to our creek to take some pictures last week. I think they had an agreement that they were going to take turns ruining the photos.

Special Things

Rebekah, a special daughter, and I pulled out the quilt, a special project, I started for her a few years (8 yrs) ago. Maybe I'll finish it before winter. I do have two more weeks on the couch.
