A Quiet House!!

Today I find myself at home, ALONE and it's Saturday. I will tell you this is rare. I decided it would be a good time to update my blog. I do try, although I'm not the best at it. Credit for attempting, right? The kids had basketball again today and they did really good. Carson just gets out there and gives it his all. He really does enjoy this sport. Kynlee is really getting into the game and I do mean physically. She learned real quick that girls don't always follow the rules on the court. She has learned that stealing is okay and sometimes you just have to push right back. The team we played today was more aggressive and sometimes we were beginning to think they thought this was hockey and not basketball. Who knew girls could be so pushy out there. Her age is a lot of fun to watch and the action just keeps you going. It gets very exciting to watch them play.



We also survived Girl Scout camp last weekend. Thank Goodness! The first night the cabin heat was out and it was in the low 30's. I didn't think I was going to the deer lease again, but it was beginning to feel like it. We had a fireplace going, but in such a large open area it didn't do a whole of good. Needless to say, we bundled up before going to bed. Saturday the temperature got into the low 70's and a large space heater arrived before dark. We all slept and felt much better that night and stayed warmer, at least compared to the night before. The girls all had a great time digging in the dirt and going on hikes during the day. Here is a picture of Kynlee and the house she built in the dirt.



The kids also had dentist appointments this week and I am pleased to say there were no cavities. Carson has had some receding in his lower gums and she was concerned about that. We now have an appointment with a periodontist the first week in February. It looks as though he may have to have oral surgery and/or a gum graph. Poor little guy. For those of you who don't know this is extremely painful for adults. Now can you imagine for an almost seven year old? We'll wait and she what the periodontist has to say and I'll keep you posted. Please pray for him because I know this is not going to be something he will be happy about. I would love to think she may not want to do anything yet, but I really doubt it.

I'm getting ready to change the look of our blog and add a new title in the next few weeks so stay tuned. Thanks for checking in on us!
