Two Quick and Eventful Weeks

Another two weeks have flown past. We have had the usual family of 12 life. Play, cleaning, chores, work and college for daddy, work for Makayla, church, and even a family trip to see Incredibles 2(minus Rebekah and Tobias, who hung out with Grandma instead).

 Last week Daniel and Oliver had Cub Scout Day Camp each day and I got to participate for two of the days. It was rainy some days and hot the others. This week Joseph is away at Raise the Bar Scout Camp. Today Makayla left for Youth Conference in Kirtland.

Tonight I have a curriculum sale I'm participating in with my sister  at the local homeschool group of approximately 120 families. I have two crates of materials we're ready to move out of our house, hopefully they will find new homes tonight.

We have had the police visit our home three times in the last two weeks as well. We've had mail stolen twice - and once the thief tried to alter and cash in a check for a bill we were trying to mail - but we had put a stop payment on it and the bank got lots of information and evidence to us that we had to pass along to the police.

Mason had a surgery consultation with one of his specialists. His right leg bone is growing unevenly (at an angle). He needs a tendon release around his knee and then hemi-epiphysiodesis surgery. A figure 8 shaped metal plate and screws will be placed over the growth plate of the bone to restrict growth on one side so the other side can grow and catch up to the restricted side, straightening out the leg bone. That will take a few months to a year. Then that figure 8 plate and screws will be removed in a second surgery. These will be surgeries #21 and #22 for Mason. We are hoping to schedule his first surgery in September, after summer fun.

 It has been a busy two weeks. I'll be glad when everyone is home again and we can catch our breath.
