Where have I been?

I have been missing you all so much.
My Dad spent 2 weeks in the hospital but is up and running again.

Since I last blogged I got all 4 young ones enrolled in school. Doesn't sound like it deserves a prize but had to go through an hour of registration 4 times with health screenings and such. Getting school supplies arranged.
Madison started Volleyball right away and is doing a great job. She is really working on fine tuning her setting skills. It is so fun to go watch her.
Sept 3rd we all headed to Denver to stay a few days with Aunt Skeet, Uncle Mike & Kiya. That was so fun....truly we don't see them enough. Skeet had a surprise Birthday(pre-surgery)party for Serina. We had cake and pizza and she invited some of her friends over.

THE MAD SHOPPERS

Greg,Serina and I were at Children's Hospital at 5:30am for her check in. Her surgery was at 7:30. Serina had a very major surgery that should make her more comfortable sitting. Her hips have been dislocated for some time now and the arthritis had taken over causing her to be uncomfortable all the time. Her scissored legs kept her working so hard just to stay sitting up. Anyway those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting her know exactly what I am talking about. By the way thank you all so much for the cards and all the cool gifts you sent her.
Serina did great with her surgery and now is on the road to recovery. She is in a cast(hot pink with glow in the dark stars)that goes from the top of her ribs down to her ankles. She is pretty much down flat for another 4 weeks anyway.

THE FORCE IS WITH HER!
While we were at the hospital Mike and Skeet took on the responsibility of 2 teen shoppers and Chase. I think they all shopped till they dropped. The kids had a ball and Mike and Skeet survived.


SKEET AND SERINA AT THE BIG PARTY
We are home now and trying to get back to a normal life. I spend my time scheduling all the caregivers,tutors and therapy. I think for the time being that is all in place.
My Kassie has been a saint. She helps me out with Serina so I can get out of the house some. I really appreciate her because she takes care of her just like I would. She will be a great mother to my grandchildren someday.

My Gram broke her hip so she is in the rehab center trying to get healed and stronger.
We picked up my car (have been without it since July)and it runs great. I thank my sister and parents so much for providing me with wheels during that time.
Now I am going to start to enjoy Fall. The colors are just beautiful here now and the weather is kinda crazy but I love it none the less.

Madison is about to finish her volleyball season so we will have fun watching her at her tourney.

Little Chase is starting football. That will be a kick to watch....I will keep you all posted.
