It's been almost 3 months now since my husband had his aortic dissection. He's doing very well, and has just gone back to work full time. I do think we still have a long road ahead with recovery, but hopefully everything will be grand by next summer.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

As I stated in my last blog post, this move has not been easy.
It got worse.
Much worse.
On August 21st, my husband and son went to a cub scout info meeting. On the way home, my husband began to experience possible heart attack symptoms. I rushed him to the hospital, where they det... Comment - Like

We will be moving back to the Kansas City area in June. Big change for us, since we've been in the Los Angeles area for 11 years now. My son was born here and other than visiting family back there, he has no idea what it will be like. I think he's stress... Comment - Like

It's been a crazy day! A crazy week, actually! My son's first grade class is doing the Nutcracker (the play, not the ballet) on Friday. Today was dress rehearsal, and they did very well! I need to finish up some hats for the costumes, but it's all coming together...

One of the best days of our vacation we traveled to Marceline, Missouri. Marceline is where Walt Disney lived as a child. He never forgot his time there, and it became a huge influence in his films and Disneyland.
We first visited the Walt Disney Hometown Museum. It resides in a renovated Santa ... Comment - Like

One day on our vacation we went to Emporia, Kansas. It's a halfway point for us to meet up with relatives that we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. It was a fun afternoon, even though Colin was coughing periodically through the day. We attributed it to allergies.... but more on that later.

Ok, so it's Friday afternoon...

I have decided the most exhausting things are getting 4 kids to bed on time and getting them up, fed and dressed for school at the same time.
Funny thing is it seems the whole school knows what I'm up to this week... so ma... Comment - Like
