We took Hunter to the Dr. this morning for an ankle injury that has been going on for a while now.  Two hours later he had a camouflage cast!  He broke his growth plate on the outside of his left ankle.  I am still amazed that is has taken him this long to break something!  I'm hoping tomorrow he will let me take a couple of pics so we will always remember this.  He will be in the cast for three weeks so he is going to miss most of his baseball season.  I think he was more worried about being able to go turkey hunting with my dad this weekend though.  I think they figured out a way to get him to the blind so he can still hunt!  I do feel bad, however, because it has been broke for a while.  The more he did baseball the worse it got...now we know why!

Bringing this blog back is so great.  I love being able to jot a few things down so that we/I will remember them later on.  It will help so much when I go to scrapbook this time.

I have also been working on some genealogy stuff.  It is so addicting!!  Right now I am focusing on Jason's family.  I did solve a major mystery and it was such an awesome feeling!  His 3rd great-grand-father, Joseph Thomas, was in the Civil War and he is buried in Hopewell Virginia in the City Point National Cemetery  I even found what regiment and company he was in.  I cannot wait to see what else I can uncover.  I'm hoping to go the Genealogy Society in town on Thursday after work to do some more research.  I LOVE this stuff!

Update on my cross stitch.  This one is for Jason.  It is called Nature's Mourning.  I am on page two of 24.  Who knows when this will ever get done.  I do need to order some floss that I ran out of.

Teenage Bullying

I NEVER thought I was going to have to deal with this.  Hunter is going through a really tough time right now.  I feel really bad for him and guilty at the same time.  I wish kids would think about what they are saying and or doing to others and think how they would feel it was being done to them!  I am very grateful that he has the friends he does because they are the reason I know what has been going on.  He didn't want to tell anyone because he did not want to bother them.  I feel like I have let him down somehow.  I'm hoping tomorrow will be the start to a better week for him!!  HUNTER I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

Some new pics of Hunter

I took these pictures of Hunter when we were in Florida in February visiting family.  These were taken

at Emerson Point.  You can see the Skyway Bridge from the point.  It was a really nice day when we were there.  

I cannot believe how grown up he looks in these pictures...not my baby anymore!

             

No picture post

I have been stitching off and on but not enough to show any progress.  I'm still dealing with my bladder issues.  The dr says I do not have a UTI now but I am still having a lot of pain.  I am now going to have an ultrasound.  DH says maybe when I had my surgery they left something in there...he says he just wants enough money to pay off the house...LOL.  What a guy!  I am hoping to get some more stitching done today.  I started a military pattern for my son who is 12 and obsessed with the military.  It is called Raising the Flag.  It is the popular picture of the soldiers raising the flag in Iwo Jima (sp?).  He is super excited about it so I guess I better get moving on it.  I also need to figure out what cross stitch I am taking to Florida.  I dont know if I will get much done but it will be nice to have it just in case.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Happy Stitching

Family Sampler Update

I was hoping to get more done on this this past week but another trip to the ER on Wednesday night did not leave much time for stitching.  I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low and I found out that I have a UTI.  I was really surprised about the UTI because I did not have the normal symptoms.  The antibiotic has really been helping.  I was not feeling well and just laying on the couch but then I got dizzy and fell so Jason had to come home from work and take me to the ER.  Yesterday was the first that I really spent any time stitching but I did get a lot done. 

I switched to my HAED Nature’s Mourning for this week.  So far today I have gotten a lot done.  Hopefully this week I will stay healthy and want to cross stitch.

Enjoy your week!

Happy Stitching!!

Stitching Update…Lots of pics

 

LHN Family Sampler (excuse my crooked house…not sure why it looks like that)

American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor.  I love stitching on this; I did however run out of the Brethren Blue.  I decided to put this down for a little while and have picked up the family sampler again.

A close up!

HAED Natures Mourning.  I have not worked on this in a while.  I plan to stitch on LHN Family Sampler until Friday and then work on this next.

Last but not least is a little freebie that I did before Christmas.
