ok I guess it is not official. the one doctor said stroke, but the neurologist said he didn't think so. Lets just say this has been a not so fun roller coaster .



We think it (something) happened over a week ago. She didn't show the normal signs of a severe stroke, just memory loss and confusion.
Please keep her in your prayers and hope for the best.

now I can joke with her about the fact I lent her 20 bucks, but she dosent remember!

I have just started to upload Milo's photo's. I think he has over 200 so far. He just got the hang of getting the video right so they might be a little dangerous. ( video of me going to the bathroom)
Oh and I have a good three weeks scedualed for Maine this year. One week will be in late winter/ early spring. (those parties in Maine when you want the cold darkness to just be over) The other 2 weeks will be me attending the shelter Institute for my home building class! the same one that fell through a few years back. Good thing I have something to sleep in!

Hi everybody,
(nate ridding the new year)

Sorry we haven't posted as of late. We have had a busy last few weeks. Christmas and the holidays have been so special. Milo woke up on Christmas morning and forgot what was supposed to happen. He was happy with his one gift from the night before. It took him an hour to make it down stairs!
Nate...., well I cant help myself but gush over Nate, our little dancer! He has a big personality in a little body. We just sit in awe of him at home.
Oh, and we ran out of Oil heat for the first time the other day. Jenna woke up saying "It is Freezing!" I said something like grow up..
then When I was down stairs I realized I didn't hear the "truck" running downstairs. I got my trusty new headlamp and took a peek at the tank. I saw the elusive "empty" on the gauge.
Luckily it was above freezing outside and we are fine. $500 dollars the next day later we are nice and toasty.
Oh and we bid adieu to our house guest Wendy

the petite protester

Last month, just a bit after Halloween, we headed up to our local firehouse to do a bit of protesting. It seems the Philadelphia budget can not handle the added expense of a firehouse for the local residents. Milo and I felt we needed to stand with our neighbors and give the city a little what-for about our safety!

poesy

On Thanksgiving Day, on our ride to Delaware, we were chatting about poetry, and I decided to read a bit of recently written poetry....
Milo listened attentively, and than said he had a poem,
which I happily and almost speedily wrote down word for word...here is his first poem....

::spoken in a young robert frost, dedicated to the moment but not caught up in pretense::

Milo's Poem
or Untitled

Snow comes cold
collapses
than it landed-
it all pieces
snow
the barn snowed in
ice was breaking when it was snowing
the trees died, broke into pieces
the roadway snowed in and the trees were down
& on the road
& the cars can't go
electricity is down
the clouds fall
the monster trucks can't go through
more trees died & knocked telephone wires & collapsed
& the car antenea's were bended
& everything destroyed-even the house
electricty down,
kids couldn't play on the computer
grass going dead
chipmunks and squirrils hided in the burrow
& the signs went down and broke-collapsed
only the monster truck trains can go...


I hope you all enjoyed!
