Well, let's see. Today Gus & Meg started Kindergaten. They were very excited and didn't want to stop :) That makes every home educator so happy.
Russ is coming home from the Rehab unit on Thursday. We aren't really sure how that is going to all pan out. They tell us that is is now not at all ambulatory, and completely incontinent. I am going this afternoon to acess him for myself. This will be the first time I will have seen him in week, due to an outbreak of shingles. Thankfully, they are now gone, with only a small amount of residual pain, which I hope will go away with a little more time.
Please continue to pray to Saint Joseph to help sell our house on Itaska. Everyone who goes through it says it is beautiful, very clean and that they don't think it will last long. I hope this can really bless some family, and very soon!

~Whew! We've moved! & Russ is in the hospital :(
What a whirlwind life we are leading right now. We closed on our new house on February 13th. Our packers came on February 14th, to pack up Itaska, and the movers came on the 15th. Today is March 3rd and a little over two weeks later. We are almost completely unpacked. No one would believe we have only lived here two weeks- and this so feels like home. Our Itaska house is on the market, so please pray that it sells quickly and for a fair price.
Now the sad news- Dan's Dad, Russ, has in recent days been falling more and more for no apparent reason. The other day he fell hard and landed on his shoulder. I was giving him Motrin for the pain, but it just wasn't cutting it. So yesterday at about 12:30 pm I took Dad to Saint Anthony's Medical Center and we waited, and waited and waited. Finally around 3 pm we were seen by a doctor. They did lots of blood work, a urinalysis, Xrays and a CT scan. Everything was healthy and normal except he has 3 broken ribs :( They are keeping him for pain management, but also when he's doped up on the meds I don't quite know if we could handle him at home without help.
The next few days should be interesting. I'll try to keep everyone updated through the Blog. Prayers for a fast recovery for Dad would be much appreciated. And a special prayer for my mom who pitches in at a moments notice to help out all the time would also be appreciated.
