Time flies

Wow, it has really been a long time since I have sat down and written a new blog so here goes. A lot has been happening around here. Gary has been back to the heart doctor and has received good news that his heart is recovering nicely. Each time they let him quit taking another pill so his daily pills are reducing. He goes again in June and at that time they will take him off of the cumidin, hooray. Then we can address the mass in his kidney. Anyway, he is doing great.
We have also gotten grandchild number 9. If you read Angelas blog you will know all about that. He is a cutie and he loves to snuggle. They are a really cute little family. Angela and I loaded up all three little boys yesterday and left here at 5:30 a.m. to head to St. George so that Kaden could go to the Dr. and get circumsized. Traumatic for Angela because she had to stay in with him while they did it. Mother and baby are recovering. Ben, Jacob, and I went to Dad and Dockies and played while we waited for them. The kids love to go see great grandpa. They played on his swingset and we played chase and run for a while. I got my exercise yesterday. Next, we finally got our phone call from the child welfare people telling us that they finally got back all the paperwork and by the way, we passed the background check. They are forwarding everything to Colorado and we should be able to get the girls in the next couple of weeks. I will be glad when this is all over with because those girls really do need some stability and good home life. We went to Colorado on Valentines day and visited with them. We took the girls to the dinosaur museum and also out to lunch and then took them shopping at the mall to pick up shoes which they both needed. We also visited with Troy and Tula (their parents) and they are not doing well at all. They really need to get their act together. I really don't think they will ever get the girls back because they are not even trying to do any better.
Finally, I was on vacation this last week. Not really, but I did take the week off to help Angela with the kids. She has her hands full and I can sympathize with her because I know what it is like to have several little boys all 3 and under. Anyway we got through the week and I am going to go back to work this next week. I really kind of missed being at school even though I went every night and got things ready for the sub for the next day. I miss being with the kids in my class.
Hopefully by the time I get around to my next blog, we will have added grandchild number 10 which is due on March 26th. We are excited for that event to take place. I hope everyone has a good day. My love to you all.
