We are having the strangest weather this year. First we had a very wet summer here. In fact, it was so wet that our well never had less than a full amount of water all summer long. Usually in August the water is very low. Then we had a very wet fall. It rained almost everyday. Our basement was dangerously close to flooding several times. Now we are having an early winter. WE have been getting snow nearly everyday for weeks already. I keep having to tell myself that it is still NOv. You certainly wouldn't know it by the weather. The kids are loving the snow. It is their favorite time of the year. :)
I took the girls to have their eyes checked yesterday. Abbey's eyes are getting better. She doesn't have to wear her glasses unless reading is giving her a headache. Lexie's eyes got worse again though. She should get her new lenses next week sometime.
The Army finally is doing the right thing with Jay. He is being seen by the dr weekly or biweekly trying to get his medicine straightened out. That should have been happening right when he got back. There really is no excuse for them not trying to help him right away. Jay is still having nightmares and general trouble sleeping.
We are planning a trip to Fl in January. I am trying to finalize our plans. :)
The girls have their first gymnastics meet on Dec 13. They are pretty excited.

Nov 19

Today marks 2 1/2 years since my first back operation. Yesterday marks that day that the lawyer submitted a claim against Dr Baird, North Country Orthopedic Group, and Samartian Medical Center. He hasn't done his research yet though. He will be doing that, and then letting me know if I have a valid case. Either way, today was the deadline for the claim.
We don't have much new to report. Jay is gone for 3 days. He should be home for Abbey's birthday.
Lexie has mastered the back handspring but is scared to do it independently. She actually bent her glasses last night because she didn't trust herself that she could do it and fell on her head.
Abbey's schoolwork is really improving. She is doing much better with spelling words on day one. She is also doing great with her math.
Brayden is eating a lot. I hope that means he might grow. :) He is doing great in piano. He is playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star after only 3 lessons. Brayden is also reading really well now. He read Burglar Alarm off of a building yesterday. He also told the piano teacher that if her piano said song instead of sons it would say "song". I really didn't know that he knew how ot spell that. By the way, that would mean that 3 of my kids now learned to read the natural way. They were all reading by 6 1/2. We don't teach phonics. We just read to them.
Trent is keeping busy. He loves to build with Legos. He usually spends most of the day playing with them. Trent is keeping his piano teacher on her toes. He always has intelligent questions to ask her. In fact, she asked if I had had him tested because he is soooo smart. lol
Lexie doesn't have CF. I still don't know why she has so much trouble running though.
Jay's dental appt that he waited 3 months for was today. He isn't here. So now he has to wait another month to have the appt. I don't know how long after that appt before they do the work. They will pull the baby teeth and then to a spacer and then either pull down the adult teeth or do implants.
