Family Update

Not really so much of an update I guess. Think of it as more of catching up with what has been happening with our family for the last little while. Cherry has been real busy taking care of me post operative. Surgery number three on my left knee took place on the 22nd of April 2008. This time they decided to replace the missing cartilage with baby cells that they harvested from me and grew in a lab...WHO KNEW??? Recovery has been long and difficult but everyone has been very supportive and helpful. I should be done with crutches within the next two weeks. Enough about me. The kids are getting older and bigger each day. Cherry Lynn is now 15 and begging for her license to drive. I have temporarily tamed the desire by telling her that the only car she can drive is what the kids refer to as my "Blue Beast". It's like my mom always told me..."it's not what is on the outside that counts, it's what's on the inside that’s more important". I think she was talking about girls. Gregg attempted to attend his first week long Scout camp recently. It lasted about 12 hours if you count the three hour drive to the camp and the 4 a.m. 3 hour drive back home on day .5. He will get there. Madison is growing up fast too. She loves to sing and dance and really wants to try out for Idol or Americas Got Talent next year. I really think she could do it if she had training from someone other than me. Daniel is stuck like glue to his older brother and follows him all over. He attended his first Cub Scout day camp with mom about 2 miles from the house. He had a good time but looked forward to hanging out with the kids in the afternoon. There you have it; the abridged version of the last couple of months. We will try to post weekly to this thing they call a blog. I hope it helps everyone keep in touch a little better.
