But, we're still alive!
This is a big post because I haven't updated in a while.
My back was really messed up last week, which threw me into even more exhaustion.
Plus, I didn't feel like dealing with the slow Internet connection at the House.
So, since someone was admitted with a fever today, I decided to take advantage of the hospital's much faster connection!
Early last week, Daniel and Andy came to visit.
We went to a local park, trying to get the kids to actually do something other than electronics.
It didn't work too well.
But, they did find and eat a lot of blackberries.
Don't the boys look like I'm torturing them?!
We saw the zeppelin again.
Each time we walk the trail, we eat a LOT of blackberries.
All summer, we had an awesome teenage volunteer at the House.When her service time ended, Marlena decided she wanted to put on a dinner for the residents of the House for her 16th birthday party.
Sure enough, her friends and family helped out and we had a great birthday dinner!
On Sundays, we don't watch tv or do electronics.Out of boredom, Josh came up with an epic game.
He was on one side of the girls bed, while they were on the other side.
They would decide when to throw the balls at each other, then fire!
Depending on how many times and what kind of ball they hit the others with, they counted points. (broken ones combined earned more points)
Kelly started school two weeks ago. Maggie, Lilly, and Josh started last week. Daniel will start college next week. Here are the 3 youngest, ready on the first day for the shuttle to come pick them up.
Yesterday, Maggie kept hurting herself. The first time was when she stabbed her hand with a pencil. She was so sad, but I knew that if I offered to take a picture for the blog, she'd forget about the pain. Sure enough, it worked!
The week our remote control was missing, we went outside more. Imagine that.

The week our remote control was missing, we went outside more. Imagine that.The children played tag a lot, in the play area.
It's pretty sad when we all notice that the hospital has a new rug at one of the entrances.
We finally got to go to the Science Center again, and actually be able to use the acrobatic attraction.

Maggie had fun with the zipper.

Josh's abdomen was sore for a few days afterwards, from all the air-crunches he did.
