Times are a changin...

There it is... this is the hew house we will be building in Daybreak, Utah over the next several months.  Very excited to move out of my tiny little townhouses into something we can be in for a very long time.  Yay!!  Anyway, it will be 6 bedrooms, having a place for my parents if and when my dad is able to come home from the care center.  For him to be able to come home, my mom needed to have a place with no stairs and main level living - which this will definitely have.  It will also have pretty wood floors and a nice double oven  - which really were my only requirements...but the rest of the house will be really nice as well.  We decided to go for Daybreak, because we really liked the feel of the community out there.  Lots of activities and things to do which I feel is important, especially for my kids.  Anyway, I will keep you posted as things progress.  Right now, we are waiting for plans to get approved so that they can actually dig the hole.   Lots of fun, and really exciting!!

As for other news, my dad has been in and out of the hospital since his knee surgery in late January.  His  latest trip was due to a blood clot that went basically the entire length of his leg.  He was only there for a night because they were able to stabilize everything and send him back to the care center.  Poor guy, it seems to be one things after the other.  He is doing OK though, and things are stable for the time being.

Thomas and Kate finished school this last week - and all I can say is YAY!!!! This was a hard year with Thomas in fourth grade.  We had some significant issues with his ADHD and it created quite a stressful year.  However, he pulled through it and ended the year with a bang!  Kate did well this year and won the fastest addition award for finishing more levels in math than anyone else in her class.  We were very proud of this great accomplishment.  I am so excited for summer to be here - the kids love summer camp and when we come home, they are so exhausted that bedtime because a breeze for the next three months - love it!
