March 2008


Okay, so I did remember to blog this month!! Its been another crazy month. Thomas continues to travel all the time but after his trip next week to Orlando, he doesn't have anything on his calendar. But, I'm guessing by next week he'll have at least two new trips booked. Well, it finally happened. Tom's job in Wisconsin opened this past Monday. He of course, put in for it on the first day that is opened. The job closes on 04/03/08 so we may here something by the end of April. We are hoping for the move but we trust that God will take us where he wants us to go.
Last week, I was in Shepherdstown, WV in training at NCTC with the Fish & Wildlife. It was an awesome class and I'm so blessed that I was able to go!! It felt weird to be away from Tom and the kids but at least I was able to get a few a few nights of sleep. This month Kenna has finished speech and she had a good year, this was her third years so besides all of her ribbons she received a medallion. Volleyball has started and this makes Makenna very happy. There has only been two practices and since I was out of town, I haven't been able to see her play yet, but I will next Monday. This next weekend Makenna will be up in Brainerd at Craigin's for Grand Bethel 2008. She is entering only two baked goods but I'm sure she'll have a great time with our without a win in baking. Kevin is the sweetest little boy ever. Yesterday as we were getting ready to go to work/school, we noticed one little tear in his eye. We asked Kevin what was wrong and he was upset because no one has driven the truck and it was lonely. So, long story short....we drove the truck in today. Poor little Matt. On Easter Sunday, he was in the ER!! He had a high fever, 103.2 and very rapid breathing (84 beats a minute) we also found out that he had another ear infection (keep in mind he has tubes in) plus a sore throat. He's going today for a chest x-ray because he is coughing up so much stuff. Kevin was about 3 when he finally wasn't sick anymore. I'm sure he'll be the same way. Besides a trip to the ER, Easter was great. Auntie Sheila came down for a visit and dyed eggs with the kids!! We hid eggs and the kids love finding them. We went to church and it was wonderful to see the remodel complete. The above picture is in the fireside room in the lobby. After church, we came home and had a wonderful meal. It was nice to be with Sheila and we all wish she lived a little bit closer. Well, I guess that is all I can think about right now!!!

When you say auntie Sheila, do you mean Sheila Helgeson who liven in Fargo, ND, and worked at the bingo palace 20 years ago? If so, PLEASE tell her Dan O'Connor is trying to find her (just to say hi) and I love her. If not, I like your blog anyway, and you look like you're all really blessed and nice.
Enjoy your day!
