The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

[babytrees]

I am a reservist (USAFR). The AFNG is owned by the gov of the state as well as the Pres of the US, reservist are owned by the Pres only. I know this is a bit strange, but we have three parts to the armed forces.

Active
National Guard
Reservists

I stand corrected.

Sorry

I know I will miss a lot of people if I try and post individually so here's some hugs for everybody.

I've had a pretty crappy start to my vacation and without going into many details I need some major pixie dust this way so that we can go to Washington next week. It's totally my own idiocy but I would sure appreciate it thanks.

I'm off to bed too. I have given up taking Tylenol PM. I made a conscious decision to do so while on vacation and I haven't taken one since. I was relying on them every night to get to sleep. I have found that I am not nearly as tired in the morning, don't require daily naps and I am ready for bed by 11 PM without them. That is one step towards a lifestyle change. I have also been bringing the kids to the pool everyday and challenging them to swim races. It is good for all of us. So I've increased my excercise and I'm having fun. Now if I could just change my diet and get more exercise I'd be on the path to a healthy lifestyle, but for now I'm happy with my baby steps.
Night All.

Deb

Good progress .

hey all -

sorry I haven't been around - things here have been CRAZY!!!

Nick has actually been doing pretty well - but I just have to find out what is going on with his heart - then I will feel so much better!!!!

I hit my knee the other day (yes - the bad one) and now it is bruised and swollen - it really hurts and I have been limping around all week!! I think I might have to go see the doctor again - the kneecap is moving more than it should be and is making sounds it shouldn't make! Hopefully when the swelling and bruising go down it will feel better!!!

Definitely call the Dr. maybe he can do something for your knee while waiting for surgery. Prayers for your knee and your dear little boy.

here are some pictures from the party on Sunday

They look so precious. Nick looks like an adventurer.

Every year on the 4th - our group of friends participates in the local 4th of July parade - usually we just slap some decorations on the float and go - this year - I decided to do a little more and found these for the float - unfortunately it rained - but we still had a great time!!

Great decorating. I love the first pic. Julia just has so many expressions she should be a model.

Well it’s been a rather wild and crazy few days.

First every time I get on to read or post….. either Vicki or Christi is pm’ing me. So if you are looking for a reply to a post, I would love to, but I can’t get Vicki or Christi to stop talking to me via pm. (just kidding, I love the pm’s ladies)



So the other day Bethie and Ellie were playing and Bethie dislocated her elbow. We didn’t know it at the time because she didn’t tell us where it hurt. Yes I know she is only 2 ¾ , but she does talk well. We took her to the ER after not being able to figure out why she was still crying. They x-rayed her arm and then the Dr. messed with it and POP, it went back into place, the Dr handed her a pencil and she was back to normal. We gave her motrin later that day for the light pain, but that was it. I guess it is very common in kids under 4 to have this happen. It’s called nursemaid’s elbow.



Tonight we get a call that my SIL is coming out from MI for her last few months of life. The Dr have told her in the past she has between 2 weeks and 2 years to live. Well as of today they are giving her no more than a few months. The cancer has just taken off like a rocket and is all over her now. We are making plans to visit my MIL a lot these next few months because that is where my SIL will be staying. This news totally sucks, but we knew it was coming, it is just a little to fast for everyone. Then again learning someone is going to die soon is always to fast.



SO here is my warning to you, if I drop off the face of the DDA for a while do not worry I am likely up at my MIL’s and will contact one of you to let you know why I cam gone. I will do my best to post that I am leaving, but again I don’t want to get in trouble like Glynis did, so this is my warning of short notice leaving.



Now back to our regularly scheduled reading and posting.

Your SIL and family will be in our prayers. I hope God gives her and the family peace.

Look who was waiting for us on our sidewalk when we got home!!

of course I had to take photos for you guys!!

BTW: I got a new camera - it has a 10x zoom!! That was really important to me and I love it!!! It is a Kodak - I think a z650?!? I have always had Kodak easy shares and I LOVE them!!!

We ended the day with Cars and dinner at Red Robin -

Nick doesn't like fireworks and it was cloudy so we headed home to bed!

Red Robin Yum. We love that place. Zachary doesn't like the noise from fireworks but he's doing better this year.

As long as they don't get rid of the Monte Cristo, I'll be fine with any other changes.

We love the Monte Cristo. They still have it. The New Orleans Cafe has the Monte Cristo as well as a three cheese version.

 

[Eeyorecln]

It is like I said. She has gone over the edge and has been there for a long time. I just went over in a very short time.

 

[Eeyorecln]

I will say I love the concierge lounge for lost of reasons, but I love it for the wine and cheese hours in the evening.

HUGS TO BETHIE

and

OMG!!!!!!!! Glynis -

everytime one of us picks our kids up by their arms and spin them around my mom FLIPS out!!! She lectures us - you are going to pull their arms out of their sockets - we all laugh at her and ask her is she has every actually heard of that happening to someone - we all just think she is bonkers!!! and now you have proven her right!!!!! Now my dilemma - do I tell her or not?!!?

I vote no otherwise she might have more advice.

That's good Did she say how Nick was doing?

He seems to be doing good, but she is really worried, as any of us would be. I think his echocardiogram is on the 10th, if I remember correctly. Pray for good news!

ETA: Ok, I see she spoke for herself.

Looks like everyone was having a good time! I love his haircut.

Great job on the float. And little Miss Curly with the flag in her hair....too cute.
