So I thought I would try out "mobile blogging" and see if I can't increase my posting frequency. More to come later if all goes well!

Sam and her new kitty Max

So I mentioned in an earlier post that we have a new cat named Max. Here he is! As you can see, Sam thoroughly enjoys having him, can't say that Max really enjoys her as much but he is very patient with her. The other day she gave too much food in his bowl and when we asked her about it, she simply stated "Max needs a lot of food because Sammy loves him sooo much". That makes for a nice kid and an overweight cat!

A quick update on Hunter. He had his akiles tendon on the back of his leg cut to allow the doctors to pull his heel down and continue to shape his foot normal. He will have this cast for another 3 weeks and then that will be the last of casting hopefully. He will then wear spacial shoes with a brace in between them to encourage his foot not to turn in. He will have this on indefinite until his foot does not turn in anymore. This will be a long-term commitment for us but we feel blessed that this is the only major problem he has! This is illustrated when we walk in to the Orthopedic office and see so many other kids with more severe problems than him. We count our blessings.

In the mean time, I am preparing to sit for a section of the CPA exam this coming winter. So that, plus work keeps me out of trouble. Amanda's life is pretty much being a Mom and keeping things together. She does a great job and I am proud to have her be the mother of my children.

That's all for now, I will let Amanda post the rest. Peace and love to all our family and loved ones!

A quick entry since it is late

Since it's late, this will be a short posting.  This past weekend we adventured out to Jordan Lake on our 1st camping trip with the kids!  To be honest, I didn't know if we were going crazy of having fun!  We'll I think we were having fun, at least Sam had a blast eating smores.  We forgot half our food, good thing we were only like 20 min from our house.  One of the things we love about Carolina is that you can do stuff like this pretty close to home.  Two beautiful lakes, only 20 min away.  In two weeks, we will attempt the ward campout at Falls Lake.  We should be pro's now that we have gone camping once...right?
