Well about 3 days after we got home from disneyland, we were just getting back into our routine here at home when we got a phone call letting us know that my grandma had passed away. It was very sudden and not at all expected. Naturally My mom and I hopped in the car the next morning and went to Fresno to get things started as far as funeral arrangements. I feel very blessed to have gotten to see her the week before when we were in California. I also feel very blessed to have such an understanding boss who ended up letting me take almost a month off. 10 days scheduled for my vacation and then 3 days later I took 10 more days off for the time I was in California for the Funeral.
Following our return I got extremely sick and then had to take an additional week off. I had to go on a steroid and antibiotic. I am chalking it up to stress. I have since recovered, mostly still have a lingering cough. The Kids were champs the whole time we were there as I am sure they were tired of traveling having spent almost 40 hours in the car in 20 days time. I do have to say it was nice to get home and start the routine again.
Duncan was registered for Kindergarten on the 24th. We went in to fill out some papers and when I was finished he told me I needed to leave so he could start school... to which I informed him he was not going to start school that day but in a few months to which he started to cry cause he wanted to start! At least I know the first day of school will be a breeze...(for him...)
Beckham is starting to talk a lot more now. He has learned little bits of sign language which helps. I dont think he is slow but compaired to Duncan he probably cant get a word in edge wise!
Chris is working and enjoying that. I am so lucky to have a husband work a job that he loves. He loves working with troubled youth (It amazes me how much patience he has cause I could never do it). He did have sort of a funny (well maybe not at the time) experience a couple of weeks ago. He was driving home from work around 10:30 pm and he was pulled over by a police officer, This is not that uncommon as he still has California plates and that here is like a moth to a flame. When the police man came up to the door, he asked Chris for his license and all that, Chris gave it to him and then he asked for his social security number and asked him to show him his left side of his body. (by this time Chris knew there was something not right about this stop.)
He told the police officer his number and showed him his side, then Chris asked why he was doing all this and if there was a problem? He was then told that a man in California named Chris Walker had murdered his wife and has not been caught!!! They then prodeeded to hold him there in his car for an hour and a half, He couldnt call me and couldnt answer when I called ( cause naturally I was worried as he was an hour and a half late) Eventually they proved he wasnt the right man and let him go...
I guess we have all the luck!
Then the following week I was in a car accident where a lady hit my drivers side front end of my car, (her fault) and because it was in a parking lot they couldnt take a police report so her insurance is refusing to pay for my damages, I cant drive my car until it is fixed so we are having to fork out the deductable until our Insurance can recover the money from there insurance company!
With all the trails we have had in the last two months I am hoping that there is a purpose to all of it. I know that Heavenly Father loves me and my family and I know that he feels my pain and is helping us through it! Sorry I have no pictures to show for our time but as you can imagine its been a bit hectic around here!
