Poor Daniel :(

While climbing our family tree, (the crepe myrtle in our front yard) Daniel hurt his arm. It's not broken, but a really bad sprain (two more weeks or so in a splint). He is a little bummed because he can't catch up on the math that he is behind on, but even more bummed because he can't swing a hammer ;( Daniel is our most avid builder and just loves to use tons of tools. He can't wait to be old enough for POWER tools. But for now, he hands the tools and supplies to his brothers as they learn a little more eye-hand coordination. And he swings some with his left hand:)

Get better soon Dangerous Dan!

Holly's fall crown

Daniel wanted to do something nice for his sister, so he made this crown for her to wear. Isn't he sweet?!

Home to stay!

I'm glad to say that my dear Mother in Law is doing well. It's been a rough road, but after the second surgery to the abdomen, (and of course her hip replacement), in the last few months, things look like they are going to be fine. Some more healing to be done, and she will be good as new. She said she'll be glad to go straight to the third floor to visit me and the new addition, but she never wants to see that second floor again. I don't blame her! Thanks for the prayers and concern.

Love, Gloria

Sewing!

Holly's big brother Daniel spent two days making her a working sewing machine with his erector set. She is the happiest girl on the block!
She can sew to her hearts content, and mom doesent have to supervise :)
