Happy Birthday Luke #3

Sleeping seems to be my biggest challenge. I woke in the middle of the night to the jabbing in my lungs feeling again. I could hardly breathe and knew I could not sleep in bed any longer, so from then on its been sleeping in the recliner. I can’t get used to that and wake all hours. I have really been able to do quite a bit and have my energy too. I have to be careful not to overdue. The drains are the worst, and I will not be comfortable until they are gone. Mark has been a tremendous help. He has helped in every way possible. He is kind of like a kid though, you have to tell him exactly what and how to do things. He has been very caring and sympathetic.

The kids all returned from the weekend away this afternoon to celebrate Luke turning 3. I made a small cake last weekend and froze it. We had Luke in his Mickey Mouse gear, the Grandparents came for cake and ice cream, and he opened our gifts. Deep down, I wish I was going through another baby delivery recovery rather than this type of surgery. I am blessed to have three healthy children and today we remembered Luke’s arrival. He was a big 8lb. bouncing baby boy. It makes me sad, knowing my last baby isn’t a baby anymore. He is a lively, busy, silly, cuddly, curious, happy, fun, photogenic boy we love and adore.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
