So much has happened.

I haven't had time to update lately. In the last few months lots has happened.

My mom had her left leg amputated just below her knee. She spent some time in a rehab hospital before going home where she has physical therapy and a nurse aid helping with stuff around the house. She is using a temporary leg and will be fitted for a permanent prosthetic once the amputation site has fully healed.

Chris got his permanent position teaching anatomy/physiology, and the kids are preparing to start back to school. Zachary will be in 1st grade, and Philip - my baby - is starting Kindergarten. I'm really busy at work with an new product release. It keeps me busy, but is fun and challenging at the same time.

We have decided to refinance our house and take a bit out of equity to do some much needed home repairs. We'll paint everything, get new flooring, update the kitchen, replace the deck and fence in the backyard, replace some windows. and do a few other much needed updates. In order to do everything we want to do with the amount of money we have to spend, some of the work we will do ourselves. The things we are capable of doing we will do, even though some of it will be really hard work. In the end it will be worth it and we will be much happier coming home every night.

Well, that's a VERY short update on what's been keeping me busy the last couple of months. I hope to keep this updated a bit more often.
