Anyway,while I was gone, I had a guest post go up at Or So She Says about beginning tips for making birthday cakes. Today I have another post there on making mini tote bags. I even have a nifty new button for my side bar! Head on over and enjoy!
The great news is that we still have three whole weeks of summer left to enjoy before school starts. The sad news is that when you add in the doctor appointments, school shopping, dentist appointments, and fixing mixed up internal clocks, I'm left with about 2 hours of summer left to enjoy before school starts.
I thought I'd take a minute to let everyone know how my parents are doing after their motorcycle accident a few months ago. I've appreciated all the emails and inquiries about their recovery, but wanted to wait till I saw them with my very own eyeballs before I said anything. They are doing well. Their road rash is almost entirely gone (SEE MY MOM'S ARM IN RIGHT OF PICTURE) and the bones are healing nicely. My dad lost a bit of weight through it all and has to check his oxygen levels often, but he is still telling silly puns and has the same teasing smile. His wrist will never be the same (CAN YOU SEE THE CAST HE HAS ON NOW?), especially since they x-rayed it wrong and let him leave the hospital without a much needed cast.
They do, however, tire much more easily than I've ever seen. Some things broken in an accident like that don't ever heal perfectly. I'm just glad they're here to tire!
great news - thanks for the update! I was actually just reading your bag tutorial, my daughter has been wanting to make one so we are going to put this to good use!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a relief about your parents. It must have been such an easing to your heart to see them, if not whole, at least well!
ReplyDeleteI bet you were thrilled to see for yourself how your parents are.
ReplyDeleteMelatonin is awesome. I know my brother uses is to regulate his sleep (the one with Aspergers) and my mom is considering using it for my youngest sibling because of her night terrors.
It's nice to see you posting again, but by all means, don't use up your last two hours of summer updating us on them. :) (At least, a busy summer is my excuse for neglecting my blog these past months.)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your parents were able to join everyone else in Utah. Prayers work.
Charlotte, I can relate to the constant kid doctor and dentist appointments! I thought it'd be such a great idea to book all of those while the kids were off for the summer, but turns out they like to do more activities each day than go to doctor appointments! I thought I was being efficient. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture, I would really like a copy of the pictures you took. It was a great trip and I loved seeing the kids. I am glad we are around to do things too. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteYour parents look great! So glad to get an update. And I am sorry your summer seems to be shrinking down so much. Recovering from vacay is a killer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting pics of your parents! I'm so glad you were able to visit with them and to see with your own eyes that they are OK.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the spiders…. yikes!!!
I'm glad your parents weren't hurt more badly…motorcycles are fun, but can leave some serious road rash if you wreck.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your two weeks of freedom left…I'm in the same place as school (well, summer school has already started) starts around the same time for us as well.
I'm so glad your folks are doing well. It takes a long time to recover from something like that, but each day will get a little better.
ReplyDeleteYea that sounds like my next two weeks. My friends two boys and husband came home from jamboree also and her house STILL looks like a Boy Scout jamorbee with stuff everywhere! Guess they can't put there own stuff away either!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your parents are doing well! Have a great last few weeks of summer!
ReplyDeleteGlad they are doing better!!!
