An update

I'm feelimg better.  I'm still having trouble with small muscle control. Typing is hard,so if you find a mistake, please overlook  it.  I tried sewing today,  it went better than I expected it to.   Using the rotary cutter was a little hard,  had to cut it a couple times.  It's also hard to brush my hair.  Getting better with using silverware.  You don't realize how many things you take for granted.  I went to physical therapy wed and went to my Dr.  today.  It was nice getting a few questions answered.  Of course, he could not give me a define answer as to why this happened.  Of course, if I had to have a stroke this was the best kind to have.

Update on Mary

For those that don't know I was in the hospital, I had a small stoke on Friday morning. I was out walking with daycare kids and Tracy when I was feeling funny.  Tracy called 911 right away and caught the stroke early.  It has affected my right side...so little slow and weak.  Small muscle control is worst than anything else.  BUT - they figure it should be full recovery with a little physcial therapy.  I was released about noon on Sunday and home now.  I'm taking a week or so off to rest and recover...getting some excerise and working on strengthening those muscles.

Thank You!

Gabby and I want to say thanks to all of you that came to our celebration of our anniversary.  We had a super nice day and were able to stay outside the whole day with no rain in sight!

The food was great!  It seems that everyone there was having a good time.

Jordyn's Spring dance recital

Jordyn had her spring dance recital May 11.  The first photo is her in one of her regular routines.

Towards the end of the progam it got real interesting.........the Dad dance.    I think this was one of the most important reasons for Jordyn dancing this years.   The 3rd grade does a dance routine with their dads!!!!    This year the dancers could pick what they chose to wear - just so dad and daughter's theme matched.   Jordyn wanted the cowboy theme.

The routine lasted about 6 minutes and went thru several moves............

sorry duplicate picture

It was so much fun to watch Shawn and Jordyn do this dance.

They did awesome!!!!

Lindsey, Shawn, Jordyn and Dawn - this is Dawn's last year to instuct the dancers - next year Lindsey will be in charge.  I think they had fun doing it.

If some the pictures didn't turn out this was part of the reason - Connor got tired and fell asleep............He was partially on my lap, the camera in one hand taking photos, and the i pad in the other hand during video.  I am somewhat surprised that any of the photos and video turned out.   

Alex's Baseball Season

  I finally remembered to take the camera to one of Alex's games.   It seemed like the season was over almost as soon as it started.   The first couple weeks there were lots of postponed games due to the weather.  Then for 4 weeks I had classes on Thursday nights (one of the nights they played lots of games), so I had to miss all of those games.

But we really enjoyed the games we were able to watch.

Alex played first base most of the time - once in awhile he was right outfield (I think I only saw him there one game)

Batting

 Must have hit the ball - the catcher is looking to see where it is..........

and running.

 

Alex's team had a very good season -

Alex's Confirmation

Some pictures from Alex's Confirmation........

We are very proud of you Alex!!!

Watch Out....

Dad picked up his new IPhone 5 on Saturday afternoon.   Promptly received instructions from his (favorite) son-in-law in how to use it. 

Barb & Gabby's News:

Just a reminder to all family members that next Saturday is the potluck party at the Oronoco Park, and we wanted to reminder everyone to bring their dish to pass and  their own beverages and that there is to be NO LIQUOR at the park.

We hope to see as many of you as possible.  It is from 10:30 to approximately 3:00.

My News:

I gave the DAC my notice today, I would have worked there 25 years in August. It is bittersweet but I will start a new job May 20 and will stay with the DAC part time until June 21. The only benefit left at the DAC was the pto I earned as a number of years ago they dropped our insurance.

I received a call this afternoon from Donaldson's in Cresco asking when I wanted to start. I will be working 2nd shift - 2pm until 10pm which will be different for me but I feel good about it. After 60 days I will be able to have insurance and other benefits

Please pray that this will work out well for me.

Love to all

Ann
