Our new place

We've finally got a bigger place, so big in fact that Carlon has his own bedroom YAY!! We are all very happy about that. We also have room for guests so feel free to come by and visit sometime.

good bye little red

This car was origonally purchased by my older sister back in 1991, then sold to my other sister a few years later then sold to me. It served us all well for 18 years until I had to decomission it when I went on bed rest with Carlon. I held onto it all this time, partly hoping I could drive it again and partly because it was my last bit left from my single days. It may sound silly but that car was a big part of my growing up and it's hard not to be attached to the object attached to so many good memories. Well now little red is helping kidney patients as he was donated to the kidney car line.

seeing spots

Back in early June Carlon came down with an odd rash that started at his feet and went to his bum then the rest of his body within 24 hours. A fever of 102.7 errupted two days later and off to the hospital we went only to be told it was just some sort of virus. The doctor didn't expect us to catch it but keep we should keep him away from other kids. So he and I stayed home from church that Sunday and wouldn't you know it, exactly a week later Brad got the same rash but no fever then I got a fever and then the rash (although no where near as bad as Carlon or Brad). It really goes to show that there is so much floating around out there. I'm sure the doctors are just as perplexed as the parents are.

Daddy's old Game Boy

A while back Carlon got into Brad's old electronics bin and pulled out the old Dot Matrix Game Boy. He found it quite fasinating. He has since become bored with it, not unlike most boys and their toys. Always onto to something bigger and better. I plan on holding off the Xbox as long as I can.
