So, things continue to not really go the way I would have them, were it up to me. Today was an endless merry-go-round of carting 3 children around to places that they didn't want to be to try to accomplish things that are headache inducing.
The truck is still not fixed....it's finally being worked on, though. The entire transmission in kaput. You might consider that to be the end of my car troubles...especially considering that we replaced the radiator in Feb., and just a few months ago I had to replace the fuel pump. HA! You would be wrong! I should get an award.
This morning, the tire on our rental car was flat. Now, I know lots of people get flats running over nails and such. You know that we have to be more interesting then that around here, right?? I, apparently, ran over a very sharp bone at the perfect angle to puncture the tire of the PT Cruiser. Oh, yes. A bone.
Tyrone & Bailey
Tyrone and I met when I was 17....I was a waitress at a diner and he was the cook. He was kind and handsome, and before I knew it, I was in love! We started dating a few months later and NOW! Now we have been married for almost 10 years, together for over 13. The Army has taken us MANY places, and now we find ourselves at Fort Bliss, in El Paso, TX.
Kaleb
Kaleb is our oldest child! He is a most excellent big brother. He is the constant playmate/rival of his brother, and the president of his sister's fan club. Kaleb is so smart, helpful, and caring that it blows my mind! He is a month away from being 14, and is responsible, loving and TALL! At last measurement, he was 2 inches taller than me (his mom.) Yesterday, he had to bend down to kiss the top of my head. What a blessing this kiddo is....teenage boy baggage included!
Gabriel
Gabriel is a live wire! Such an interesting mix of big & little. He is quite the cuddle bug, a momma's boy, and the most intense of our children. He is happiest when in motion and can scale a rock wall in an instant. He is diagnosed with ADHD and that hasn't stopped him for a second! He is smart, scientifically inclined, and a light for us all. He is the first to enlighten us with new facts about space, elements, and all kinds of random facts. He is struggling with 6th grade, but smiles through it all. Gabe is an amazing boy.
Shiloh
Shiloh
My Shiloh-girl. She has a heart for everything that moves! Don't you dare squish that bug! She is smart, kind, and a people pleaser. She is happiest welcoming people to our home and loves nothing more than encouraging others. She is picking up the quickest of all of us on Hispanic language and culture, and has made fast friends with non-English speakers here, at our new home. She is our light, our joy, our reminder that good is all around us.
Emmeline
Emmeline
Emmeline Lily, or Emme, has changed our lives so much. She is smart, demanding, and loving. Her moods are mercurial, challenging all we thought we knew about parenting. But her love, and her intelligence, are above reproach. She is rocking Kindergarten, and doing much better than her mommy with the separation. She is intense, she is smart, she is strong, she is gentle. She is Emme.

REALLY? A bone? That is maybe the mmost unusual flat tire cause I have heard! Ours this last week on our trip was a 7 inch drill bit - still in the tire when we heard the flat. Wow - a BONE! Hope you are up and "running" today.
