Family Update

Hello All who check our blog ;) (I hope everyone does) Here is an update on US!
Tyson: is doing a great job at work and is getting assigned new projects that are keeping him busy. His last prototype is still in the works of being changed a little and then finished. He is also working on learnign how to write the software for a new graphic LCD screen- This is way cool -he brings it home and shows me all kinds of stuff he is learning- He is also inventing a bike accessory- it will be an LCD screen you mount on your bike that will give you your speed, teperature, humidity, altitude, distance, time. etc... COOL! go ty!

Suzanne: I have been getting more done on refinishing my kitchen table- I am just about ready to start staining it- I am way excited about it! i also broke my tooth last night- yikes! It was the first one I got the root canal on- we hadn't gotten it crowned yet- because I had another tooth that needed a root canal first-The whole corner broke off - down to the gums- then bled for a little while- I think I may just get it yanked out and be done with it for now. I'm not sure what else to do :( What was I eating that broke it? Bacon! Watch out pork lovers- it's more dangerous than youthink ;)

Cristine: started school this week. She is now in first grade. Her teacher is mrs. chatfield and she is currently on maternity leave as she had a baby three weeks ago. So mrs. Kennedy is her teacher for a few weeks. Her school nurse is going above and beyond her job title to keep kids safe- including cristine- she is WONDERFUL! There are 9 students this year at broadway elementary with peanut allergies and even one on a feeding tube. EVERY teacher is trained on the epi -pen - her bus driver came down to the school to meet cristine in person and to be trained. WE are so blessed. Of course she loves school, but is struggling with getting up in the morning.

Brooklyn: had her endoscopy done this morning at Texas Childrens Hospital. She was very very brave. The sedative made her a little "out of it" for a while afterwards. I was told that kids usually talk a lot during this time about what they dream about or hear often so "don't be surprised if you hear them say bad words" Brooklyn instead talked about sewing me a pretty dress- because she is a good sewer. It also gave her double vision for a little bit- she was just starting to wake up and became facinated with her thumb (it had the glow thing that checks your ogygen) she said "It's glowing like a fairy!" Then she said with amazement- " And I have two thumbs!" We should have the result of the biopsies some time next week.

Tanner: Has been teasing his sisters a whole lot lately as he is trying soo hard to get their attention. He wants to join the "girl games" soo badly. I am always reminding the girls to let him join... He has not had an allergic reaction since last week and I am content with that for now. We can find out what he is allergic to later, when it becomes more clear as to what he may be allergic to. Tanenr is also potty trained now! I have not used or bought any diapers or pullups for 5 weeks now- and he stays dry during the night too! WHoo Hoo! GO TANNER!
