Still Waiting

We are still waiting on the “Geek Squad” to get our camera back to start snapping pictures again. They did find that the lens was bas so they are replacing it with a brand new camera. However they seem to like to take their time doing so.

Figured you might want to know what’s new in our lives.

Alyson is keeping very busy with school; Adrienne and I are very pleased with her progress and what she is learning. For those that don’t know, we have her at Mount Olive Lutheran in their Junior Kindergarten. This has taught her great values while learning with the spiritual side of teaching. I was a little hesitant at first but am so glad we choose it. When I picked her up this last Tuesday, her teacher Ms. Howard asked if I was having surgery soon on my hip. She was teaching the class about the who’s, why’s and how’s of praying and asked each child to pray for something or someone and when Aly’s turn came, she prayed for her dad and his hip surgery. Talk about a feel good moment.

She had a Christmas to remember, a week with Grandma and Papa Preston, a Wonderful get together with Grandpa and Grandma followed with a week with Grampy and Grammy. We were wiped out but Aly sure had fun opening present after present.

Adrienne is still doing very well. She has settled in I think with her job and is learning more and more while staying very busy and coming home late some nights. She too had a great visit with all the families over the holidays, especially seeing her Mom and Dad, people she misses very much. Her mom has booked flights to help her out with me when I have my surgery, not to many Moms and Mother-n-laws would do that. Adrienne keeps busy raising our daughter, balancing the bills, keeping me in line and still finding time to enjoy herself, although I wish she could find some more time, she deserves it.

As for me, work, work, work. I have been keeping myself busy trying to get things wrapped up at work and home before I have my hip surgery on February 20th. After that it’s home for a month plus to heal. I too had a great holiday. Adrienne surprised me with some great gifts and I too had a great visit with all the families. We got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas (but we opened it the first of December) and I have really enjoyed playing as a whole family. Aly for her age is quite good at it; she has beaten me at skill ball, bowling and a set or two of tennis. Adrienne for not being a video game type person has taking a liking to it too.

Till next time.
