Leroy-still in constant pain, just finished physical therapy and it didn't work. Neurosurgeon said surgery worked but it may take a year or more to actually feel any relief from surgery. His nerves basically have to regenerate and that is a very slow and painful process.
Me-still working like crazy. Haven't been crafty since January, hence no one has received birthday, or any holiday cards. Hoping to feel better by the summer and get 4th of July cards out....that's a goal at least for now that I can hopefully reach.
Derrick-doing absolutely wonderful in school! Just received his first award at school a few weeks ago for being above grade level in every single subject. He's on his 10th word list now and reading so great. I got to go with him on a field trip to a farm where we both had a great time. Kindergarten promotion is on June 10th and then he'll be promoted to the 1st grade =)
Danae-busy being a princess. I've learned not to compare the two, so she is doing great. We're working on letters and sounds but going at her own pace. I can't push her like Derrick so we've learned just to be patient and she'll get it in her own time. She's our artsy kid. Loves anything to do with music, dancing, painting. If you can express creativity, she loves it =) We signed her up for kindergarten and she'll start in August at the same school as brother is. She's excited!
We also got some fun news! Leeanne, Leroy's youngest of his older 3 kids is working for a Senator at the US Capitol in Washington D.C!!!! She called a few weeks ago and told us the great news. She's been in DC since July and we couldn't be prouder =) She sent us a postcard with pictures of the Capital building on it and I explained to the kids that that was where their sister was and Danae was so excited because "sister works there and doesn't get lost!" She thought with all those windows and columns she might get lost but I explained that was not the case. So now it sits on our refrigerator where they can both be reminded where Leeanne works =)
I'm hoping to keep this updated better, it just kinda fell to the side. But to everyone who didn't get a birthday card, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Here's a few pics...Enjoy!
