Updates

Forrest's mom is back at home.  She's making great progress and was released from the rehab center after only two weeks instead of the three weeks originally recommended.  

Forrest is in the middle of a repair job at our house.  We noticed a strip of wall along the sliding glass door had soft spots and bubbling paint.  Forrest spent all day Friday searching for the leak.  He had to take down some drywall and found several pinhole sized spots all in a line in the drain pipe from the guest bathroom.  They look like nail holes.  The builders thought they were hitting studs when they were actually hitting pipe.  It took 12 years for the leaks to be big enough for us to notice.  Thankfully the area is small and there was very little mold. We're leaving the drywall off for the rest of the week so everything can completely dry out.

I'm onto my third Nevada Barr mystery.  I ordered them from the library and they haven't come in the order they were written, but that's not proving to be a problem.  I've now added Mesa Verde National Park to my list of places I have to visit some day.  That's where the Anasazi dwellings are most accessible to the public.  My sister and I have planned Mom's Get Away weekend for mid-April.  It will sure be nice to escape from the demands of husbands and kids for awhile.

Noah's basketball team had a successful end to their season. They finished 3-1 in a round robin style tournament the weekend of the 14th.  We had his basketball team party on Saturday night.  Noah and Forrest's first baseball game is tomorrow.  The league lost his team's jerseys over the summer and had to order new ones.  Hopefully they'll be here in time for the game.

Alyssa has scheduled a visit at Western Washington Univ. during spring break and a visit at Saint Martin's for the end of April.  She is preparing for her AP US History exam in May and her senior project proposal.  She hasn't been invited to the prom, but she's hopeful.  Although I think she's more interested in the dress than any of the boys at her school.
