May 2021

Howie is growing and growing.

 He has started to dig in the yard and do naughty activities if he isn't monitored closely. This month it rained a TON and we had to give this little boy daily baths to keep our house from becoming a disaster!

Kate had a spacer put on in January to widen her upper palate.  Here we are, 5 months later getting it removed and having her fitted for a retainer.  She was very good about expanding and doing what the orthodontist ordered.  She is really good about wearing her retainer too.  I think she gets this from me!

 

The girls and I went on a hike with Stacey and her boy Brayden at Mother Neff State Park.  Such a beautiful time to hike because the blue bonnets and Indian paintbrush are in full bloom.

Bryan and I went out to eat at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse in Austin.  We ordered the tomahawk steak and it did not disappoint.  We couldn't finish the onion rings, but they were amazing!

Howie in the back of the Jeep headed to the vet again. We have slowly integrated him into loving car rides.  At first, he did not like at all.  He would get sick.  Now (December 2021) he LOVES the car.  We have a hard time getting him out of the car!

Long story short: I was on the treadmill running and hurt myself in the end of March.  One week after injury I went to get an X-ray. No break was found, so the MD figured it was a muscular injury.  I started physical therapy in the beginning a May because I was having a difficult time walking after being seated. I am getting electrode therapy at the office in the picture below.  I have an MRI scheduled for the end of May.

Last day of school for Jane!

Her school did a wonderful Kindergarten graduation.

For Memorial Day, we headed to Inks Lake State Park.  The weather was amazing and the temperature of the water was perfect!
