arrrrrgh, pirates!

capt griffin wondering why the rum is gone :-)

ok, a little crossover here...pirate garb but a cowboy pistol...

alyssa blurry but cute!

arrrrgh, pirate alyssa!

"wook at me brover, i a pirate too!"

well griffin and alyssa had fun dressing up like pirates a few days ago! she even came in saying "arrrrgh, i pirate!"

all is well here. we have battled and overcome the sickies. i ended up with a nasty 24 hour tummy bug last sunday afternoon. oh my i haven't been that sick in quite awhile! but we're all doing better and *knock on wood* none of the kids have gotten the tummy bug!

the kids are all doing well, keeping busy and out of most trouble. we have 23 days of school left. i can't wait for summer break! i also can't believe alyssa will be 2 in june. where does the time go? and griffin starting kindergarten? don't get me started....

shane is doing well with his coumadin. his levels are staying steady so far so that is good! he has follow up appts this coming week with his specialists. hopefully they all have good things to say. his blood is checked on monday too...i am hoping he's in the good range again. other than that he is planning to work in the yard some. we are finishing up the backyard landscaping and putting up a big playset for the kids. it won't get a tremendous amount of use during summer but it will definately be in full "swing" for fall. we've got rock to bring in, dirt for the swingset pad and more trees to buy and plant. it's hard to landscape an acre. well, when you're doing it yourself anyway! shane's been back to work 1/2 days for 2 weeks and it's going well. i'm sure he'll be easing back in to full days this week when he's not at doctor appts. his bad leg swells up during the day so when he gets home he has to put it up for an hour or so. i guess that will go on for another 6-8 weeks.

other than that, we are just doing the same old thing and feeling blessed to be able to do the "same old thing" at the same time.

i hope everyone has a great weekend!
