Well, I am sharing a lot of lopsided photos, I am missing pictures of most of the family and one dog. I guess we just haven't taken as many photos in the last 6 weeks! It's been busy as usual, always running someone somewhere. Here's a quick recap of everyone:
Caleb: loving dinos and Minecraft; enjoying school, mostly for the bus ride
Luke: loving rc cars and Nascar, which started again last weekend; we are working on getting his work permit so he can come work where the girls and I work for a few hours a week while they do badminton
Heidi and Anna: loving having their licenses, but not using them too much (they prefer to ride together places and we have restricted where they can all go for the time being); badminton starts at the beginning of March, they are ready for a break from work and looking forward to hanging out with badminton friends
me: still doing bows (not loving it ;) ), but I dropped one of the companies I was working for; I will pick up hours at the resale shop while the girls do badminton, so there just isn't enough time to do it all
Justin: not loving the winter weather, lol
Emily: what is Emily loving...she loves many things, like elephants, playing games, her family and friends, pioneer girls, talking; unfortunately she has been pretty tired though, she perks up for a few days and then crashes. Her anemia continues, the numbers are actually going down, despite supplementing with iron so we will do a few investigative tests. Next week she does a 6 hour blood draw to check her kidney function (NIH believes the anemia stems from the kidneys). If that test comes back "normal" then she will have to have a bone marrow test to check for malignancies or bone marrow failure disorders. No treatment plans have even been discussed, we just need to get thru the tests first. Ironically, Heidi has also been anemic, we will get hers retested next week to see if her levels have come back up with the supplements.
Well that was a super brief recap of things going on and I am sure I missed a bunch, but my computer is almost out of battery and I should get some sewing done. Almost the weekend and just one month until spring!
