Swim and Gymnastics Lessons.!

This past couple months Angela and Kathryn took classes through WVU. They have had a great time. In the beginning I signed Angela up for gymnastics on the same night as Kathryn's swimming, thinking it would be great..I would do both on the same night. Well, when I brought Angela in and she preformed the way she did, they told me she was too advanced for that class and needed to be put in the Thursday night class that was a half an hour longer and cost more! Ugh...but it was good. Angela LOVED it! {Pictures of Angela will be posted asap...on Richard's computer.}



On the other hand, Kathryn loved her swim teacher and wanted to stay going on Tuesdays...she can now float on her back, swim the back stroke, the breast stroke, learned to dive into the pool, etc. She LOVED it as well.



We are sad because the classes are now over but they were so worth it!

3rd Time is the Charm...

Well, that is how many totalled car accidents we have had in the past year and a half. Yup, our insurance was already high but now it is going to be soaring...but not to be negative...things are good and we feel blessed.

The most recent accident happened a month ago. Jonathon lost control of our family car and rolled it. It was one of those moments parents have nightmares about....when you get that phone call and find out your son is in the hospital. Thankfully he was able to walk out of the car while it was upside-down. And thankfully the worst of his injuries was breaking his mandible...his four bottom teeth were knocked loose but not out. He had to have oral surgery that same day. They tried two different efforts to keep his teeth from moving. The second one took. They ended up having to wire his teeth at the root area- in the fleshy gum area - to hold the teeth in place. It sort of looks like braces below the teeth. So far so good.






It has been hard to loose our family mode of transportation but after seeing the car and knowing that Jonathon was ok, you realize that cars can be replaced but Jonathon's can't! So, we feel blessed to have come out of this one ok...hopefully we will be getting another car soon.
