Life continues

By Eric

Many things have happened recently. We hooked back up with our old, great realtor Andy Prasky, and have been pleased with him now as in the past. We feel we are in good hands. The housing market has slowed, we knew it was going to happen, but we still have faith.

My mother found out last week that she will need to under go a Carotid Endarterectomy.  She is having some additional tests done to determine if her body will be able to hold up to surgery.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure. In it, a fatty buildup of plaque is removed from the carotid artery. (This is the main artery in the neck that brings blood to the head.)
This procedure has been widely used as a way to reduce stroke risk. Studies show carotid endarterectomy benefits certain patients whose carotid arteries are narrowed by 60 percent or more.

Maria and Hayden keep growing up. With Hayden only being 3 1/2, we moved him up to the tag-a-long attachment on the back of our bikes, so now he can pedal if he want to on bike rides.  I’m telling you, that smile on his face when we went on that first ride was priceless, he was so excited that he was able to ride on the big bike.  Maria keeps doing great in school.  Her spelling tests keep coming home with a 20/20 on the top of them.  I don’t recall mine being 100% on a consistent basis like hers.  They both make us proud parents.
