We're doing ok down here, just enjoying the rain for the past week. It's so much better than 90 degree weather in January!
Tuesday Leroy had steroid injections in his back again. The last time they did that was back in February of 2007 and it didn't work. Yet again, we thing it's a failure. The injections haven't helped and made him worse for the first couple of days. Although he has an awesome doctor here, it's frustrating when he hears the pain management doctor doing the injections at the hospital say, "this will go away with exercise, you'll always have pain". So frustrating! How can he exercise when he's in constant pain? Why does he have to always be in pain? I betcha these doctors wouldn't be in pain, but then again they wouldn't have to deal with the runaround for 2 years now! We just want him better and out of pain. :( It's just not fair sometimes. But what goes around comes around, maybe being patient will pay off.
The kids are doing great! Danae has hit her baby phase and carries her baby around in the carrier and in her little stroller everywhere. She loves pretending to be "mommy". We're working on letter recognition and numbers, she not that into it but loves to draw so I'm not gonna worry :)
Derrick is also doing great, still lovin' his cars. There's a motocross park in the next town over and when we go out on weekends we sometimes see them jumping. According to Derrick he's gonna do that someday...or so he thinks! Derrick is working on spelling small 3 and 4 letter words. He's such a smart kid when he applies himself. He's memorized some nursery rhymes: humpty dumpty, hickory dickory dock, hey diddle diddle and little miss muffett. Each time he only heard the rhyme a couple times and he had it memorized! He amazes me with his memory and hope he does just as good when he hits kindergarten.
Here's some pics to enjoy & Happy Valentine's Day!
