Sunday, I texted David that we were on our way to the E.R. and had I not told him, he would've assumed it was Hannah! That's usually who it is!!! He couldn't believe I was taking Joshua this time!!!
Just recently, Joshua's Webelos den had a campout at Inks Lake with a tour of Longhorn Caverns. That was lots of fun, and the weather was PERFECT!!! We took Buster, and he was the wonderful old dog, as usual! Just before the skit Josh was to be in, and before the final hike, Joshua crashed his mountain bike, and we headed to the nearest E.R. Luckily for me, it was only about a 15-20 minute drive! We were in and out in 2 hours! I believe that was a record!!! The Dr. was very good, and made Joshua feel a bit better about getting 5 stitches in his thigh. He landed on the gear shifter, which tore a good size "V" shape out of his upper thigh. He was tough as usual, and when David supprised us by meeting us in Burnet, we took him out for a BBQ lunch. After all that, we was ready to go home, and rest!!! 10 days, of dressing change, and some pain, then the stitches will come out!
2 weeks before Josh got hurt, Hannah fell and we thought she might have broken her arm again! We went to the clinic, and after x-rays, were sent home to allow the swelling to go down, and to await the "reading of the x-rays" They called us the next day, and told us we needed to re-do the x-rays, as they were not clear enough. So, back home to wait out the weekend. After a week and a half of waiting, she took off the brace they had her in, and said it was starting to feel better. So, turns out it was not broken, only badly bruised. Yay!!! Keeping her down is no easy task!!!
David is working full time for SafeSite, and off site secure storage for companies like the Vetrans Administration, IRS, doctors offices, lawyers etc. After a long day of loading and unloading his box truck, and driving all over Austin, he has just enough time to drive the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school to take his classes from 5:30 - 10:30, then drives the 45min-1 hour home. He is also preaching on Sundays for a small congregation in Strickland Grove. It's an hour from home, so we stay up there all day. It makes for a long day, but we are enjoying working with them!
Matthew has been working for Asplundh - the tree trimming people- He is enjoying the job, just not the people too much! It's been up and down for him. He turned 19 in September. As our social butterfly, he is rarely home for very long!
David Robert leaves early December for Colorado to attend the Colorado School of Trade, for their gunsmithing school. I am having a hard time getting use to th idea of him leaving! I will miss him so much, but know this is what he's been wanting to do for a long time. He will love it there, I know!
We had a nice field trip to Crows Nest Farms in Manor on Thursday. Another very nice day. The flower pics are from there, along with some others-
Me? I just try and deal with it all! Sometimes that not easy! But, life goes on, right???
