2010 in Review
The kitchen is done...well...for the most part anyway...I still have to make the curtains and there is one piece of trim we are waitinig on coming in for the door frame. They don't look like they belong in our house though....lol. One of these days I will get pics up here.
Randy is off with the Air Force and I guess par for the course we have been left with his childhood piled in his room here at home. Though of late it appears he is detaching more and more from his "roots" so to speak. His things are part of the "new year" clean up that is happening with the rest of the house since the kitchen is shiney and new...the rest of the house MUST catch up... Randy appears to be doing well and enjoying what he is doing...he says he is making friends and finding places to hang out. I will continue to pray he keeps his nose clean and eventually finds a nice "someone" to settle down with...but not too soon...one grandbaby next year is enough ;)
Kyle finished out his 3rd semester at UNCW with a bang as usual....Dean's List again. He is that one kid that I don't think I will ever really have to worry about... His dad gave him a truck over break...used and rebuilt, but it's already got some issues :( so hopefully we will be able to figure them out before he goes back to school next month...we suspect that his alternator is going and there is also an issue with the emergency break. Gary took him out driving the other night in the ice...for practice. Blind spots will not be his friend :( but over all he did very well....
Ian is heading into his last semester in High School. He has yet to find another job...he doesn't really look though and anything we happen to suggest he ignores. Plans are still for the military of some sort...but he only wants to go long enough to get the $$ for his college education...while I understand this...I think the military is a good place for him as well...at least for a while. He and Randy are quite a lot alike...they want the world handed to them...oh the eye opening experiences that are going to be in his path.
Jamie is now at Fact and has settled in well. We are looking to get him into school in the new year and hoping that the staff and treatment team will be able to help with the issues he experiences in this larger setting.
Anna and Zach are doing well in 2nd grade and making steady progress. We had several months of adjustment with them being in separate classes...and more from Anna than Zach which surprised the heck out of us.
Vicki and Ryan are making us grandparents and daily you can see the joy and excitement in Gary's face! It's a neat process to watch. Chrissy seems to have found a someone special and we will continue to pray that all works out for the best for them. He seems like a very nice guy and we'd like to see more of them in the new year.
Gary's surgery's are not yet planned but both the shoulder and foot will happen in the new year. I had my heart procedure done on the 27th and so far so good...time will tell...I have had a few blips, but nothing compared to previously...
