Trying to blog

We have a million things to share, and things just won't seem to settle down. Thank goodness there is a holiday coming - maybe we will have some down time and an opportunity to update the blog in something other than "Reader's Digest" format.

This is what went on last week in the Kind household:

• a cortisone shot in the knee for yours truly
  
• a new roof installation
• the continued night time activities of the flying squirrels that have invaded our attic and seem too smart for the traps
• 2 children with birthdays
• a week long visit from my parents (who were a huge help amid the chaos)
  
• the "service engine soon" light coming on in the Mini
  
• a 3 hour visit Children's hospital downtown for Francesca to upgrade her insulin pump
• a 3 hour visit to the ER later that night(morning) with Carson for an ear infection
• a birthday party for Carson at the house
  
• a visit to our dear friends who lost their 12 yr old son suddenly in the overnight hours of Friday and Saturday
• a second visit to the ER on Sunday for more IV antibiotics for Carson
• and an evening at church to hear both children sing in their respective choirs

This chaos still beats the hospital any time any day!

Carson poses patiently for a picture before opening gifts.

Cupcakes!!!!! Need I say more?

Stay tuned for more photos!
