I'm working on taking pictures of our house so until I get those taken and uploaded here are a couple of videos so you know we are still here! 

Two of my favorite girls!


Then:

Now:

Summer!

School is out and summer is finally here!  The last day for my preschoolers was Monday, May 16; the other students got out on Tuesday, May 17; and I was completely done on Friday!  I will teach summer school and hopefully Abe will be back to driving soon!  He is doing well - the buttons came off on the 17th and he has 4 more sessions of physical therapy.  We will hopefully take a couple of trips this summer - we know we are going to Manhattan, KS and hopefully we can get to Charlotte to see this cute little girl and her family....

 

I wish you see Maggie better, but it's still cute!

Patio Update.... finally!

The patio has been done since the first week of May, but I haven't taken the time to post pictures.

The step outside of the kitchen door

We are planning on planting grass behind the garage.  That post update will come much later!

Remodeling

We have done a little remodeling on our house - a little inside and a little on the outside.  The outside is still being finished, but here is the what has been done so far.

Here is Abe cleaning away rocks and bricks

Digging up bricks

I came home from school on Friday and part of the step was gone!

Screen and frame up for the patio

Came home from Garden on Sat and frame up for the step outside of our bedroom door. 

Step outside of the kitchen door gone and frame up!

The work Abe did was awhile ago before he hurt his hand.  The patio is being up in by a local contractors here in Sublette.  We can't wait until we have a patio!  Now we will have to find patio furniture!

I will post pictures when it is all done and post pictures of our house later!

Button Button who's got the button?

Abe does!  Actually he has 2 that are keeping the tendons tight that are in his fingers that the doctor repaired.  Today we went to the doctor and two hours later we finally left.  The nurse took his bandage off, the doctor took his pin out and the most exciting thing -- she left the bandage off!  Abe still can't drive the semi and his hand is very sensitive.  We will go back in 2 weeks and hopefully the doctor will take the buttons off and his hand will feel a whole lot better!  We are praising God that he didn't cut hand worse than what he did.  The doctor said more than once today that he was very lucky that he didn't loose any fingers.  We would appreciate prayers for the next 2 weeks to go quickly, for continued healing on Abe's fingers, and patience for Abe that he doesn't try to do more things than what he should. 

Note ** I am going to post a picture of Abe's hand - what you will see is the buttons on his fingers and some dried blood - his hand is too sensitive right now to clean it up.  The white on his arm is lotion. 

Jasee Sings

Jasee has been attending the Methodist Church preschool this year and this morning her class sang during church; so this morning and Abe and I went to the Methodist Church to watch her sing!

Cooper gets a bath!

Abe and I went to my parents today and we gave Cooper a bath!  He actually did pretty well.  Abe took some pictures since he couldn't help.  I should have asked him to get some video because it was pretty funny at times.
