Chip




Today I am blogging in honor of our beloved Chipper. We put him down 3 weeks ago and our tears have finally stopped. We get a twinge of a tear every now and then but for the most part we are all fine. The kids each have a fish to tend and that seems to make it a bit easier. For those of you that knew Chip well knew that he was pretty crippled up and had served out his lifes purpose. He was well loved and now he's in heaven with the other dogs that served so well. We love you Chipper Boy!!!

Orthodontist

We visited with the orthodontist today and he seems to think that Tori is moving along quite famously and is ready for brackets. This was not suppose to be till next year or even later. However it is only on the top front four teeth. He did say in the begining that Tori was going to be one of his most challenging cases and he feels it is time for the next step. Ethan on the other hand is more than half way done with his braces. The doc says he is an easy case almost textbook. He now wears 4 rubberbands connecting top and bottom jaws when he is not eating. He will have to wear them forever because he is always eating. On the plus side he says it hurts to talk so maybe he won't talk as much!!!

We are staying

For those of you that thought we would be moving back to Delta, including myself we are wrong. It has been decided that we will sell the house in Delta, and stay in Grand Junction. My mom needs support and help with my dad and Carl's dad is needing some help and support with his mom. The fuel prices are awful, and that makes the commute that in inevitable pricey. I also for the first time in a long time have good friends here. The house needs to sell by May 1st so get your prayers on!!!! Renters are out April 30th, two house payments due May 1st. Not really prepared for this but we will make due. What we will do after the sale is anyones guess, I'll let you know as it is happening. You know us we make a plan and then we change our minds, never can tell with us!!! Have a blessed day.
