Andy's Dr.s appointment for the dog bite went well, he is on antibiotics for 10 days, and received a tetanus shot. We will know 10 days from today if the dog has rabies. If so Andy will then be treated for that, if not he will not need to go back to the Dr'.s office. Andy's back is still sore, but he did go to work today. Not much else going on here.

What a Monday...

First off lets get caught up from the weekend...



Saturday morning we met Dad Lucas, Amy, Jessie, Randy, Gerry and Vicky for breakfast at a small restaurant in Dutton. Dad Lucas invited us all for a announcement... He Paid Off His House :)

We are very proud of him!

Andy's back was bothering him so he took it easy, I sorted thru some off the stuff in the computer room and did some laundry.



Sunday- Andy's back still bothering him so he took it easy. I did rake some leaves and burned them in the fire pit out back. It was just a quiet weekend.



Monday morning Andy stayed home from work to go to Dr. Newmyer the chiropractor today.

We had a stray dog outside today, so Andy thought he would go shoo him away. He came back in and said call the humane society because it bit him. It bit him in the stomach and he does have puncture wounds. The puncture wounds do not look like they need stitches, but better safe to have him looked at and it checked out. I called the Kent County Humane Society and the Kent County Police - Sheriff's and we had them all out here. They got the dog and we have a card from the police with the report number in case the dog has rabies. Please keep us in your prayers!

Andy has a appointment at 2:15 with the Physicians Assistant (Erin) and the his appointment with Dr. Newmyer at 4:30.

Hope everyone has a better Monday than us!

Well yesterday, I had therapy on my hand and the Dr. was so busy i didn't get to see him or get a answer on my rtw (return to work date). I was so bummed!
So I did call Sam's Club to find out when my rtw date was and the told me November 29. That's like another month! They will send me a copy of the paperwork from the Dr.'s office. So i am still to do nothing with the left hand except scar massage and the exercises they gave me.

I have never heard much good stuff about my space, I never had the need to check it out.
I had been trying for years to get into touch with Brenda Smith from my graduating class. We both were looking for each other at the same time, and we ended up finding each other. I just sent her a very long email about my life since we last seen each other. If you are looking for a friend, or family member you might want to give it a try. I am happy I did!


I don't have any plans for today (Friday). Maybe as the day goes on something will interest me.

PJ Day

Monday was just a quiet day all around!

Tuesday was very busy! I had therapy on my hand in the morning. I have another appointment on Thursday and see the Dr. about when i go back to work or if he is extending my leave. Then picked up some Halloween candy for our donation to the church. I had a Dr. appointment in the afternoon as did Josie. So I also picked up Mandie, Josie and the twins, so that they could go to Josie's Dr. appointment.

Today (wed.) i am just a bum! I still have my pj's on....gotta love flannel!

Our Fall Afternoon - Sunday

Yesterday, after church we went and picked up Liam and Josie. On our way back to our house the kids were looking for animals. We seen cows, baby calf's, pigs, and a surprise detour to see buffalo!They really enjoyed all the animals.
Uncle Andy and the kids had a blast in the front yard with Jenny and Buster (our dogs). But,
when the were inside they were trying to get Ace (our cat) to play with them.

For lunch, I made hot dogs that were wrapped with crescent rolls that looked like mummy's...the kids thought that was so cool! They had a blast with there mummy's which had eyes made from ketchup. They said "My mummy has eyes" and then would laugh and say it again and again. You could not help but laugh right along with them.
Then came quiet time, Josie and Andy both were out like a light. Liam just watched cartoons, while I cleaned up the kitchen.

After quiet time, they played with the dogs for a few minutes. We started getting ready to take the kids home but neither one was to happy about leaving the dogs!

I am not sure who had more fun the kids or us!

Friday Night with the Oliver Family

Last night, Andy and I went to a pork fundraiser dinner along with Charles and Mandie and there family. It was held at TVC (thornapple valley church). It was for a young man that had been shot in the face when someone broke into his house in 2006. The money will be used for more surgery.

We went out to Charles and Mandie's house afterwards and just enjoyed the evening with there fanily.

Liam is 4

Josie is 3

Eliora and Ammi are 3 weeks.
