Update -end of February and March

The last two weeks of February were stressful. Hailey caught bronchitis and Justin's Grandpa Magee had a mini stroke.

For those of you who have known and are praying, Grandpa Magee came home on Saturday, March 20th. He is doing better, but is doing a lot of therapy and rehab, and still has moments of confusion and exhaustion. Thank you for your prayers for Justin's family during this time!

Going into March we had big plans for fun on the 7th! Ringling Bros Circus was in town and we went with Papa Tom, Grandma Barb, Aunti Amy, Uncle Brad, Cousin Dominic and Uncle Jason! It was fun - though not as exciting as I remember it as a kid :). Kaelin didn't seem to be as into it as we thought she would be. Two days later we found out why - she had strep, which Hailey caught the following week, and Dominic the week after that! Yuck! Dominic is still healing, but the girls have bounced back.

The same day that Kaelin came down with strep (March 9) I herniated a disc in my neck. I have had an x-ray and have been doing physical therapy but it is still very painful. The next step is an MRI. I am attempting to deal with that later as this Monday (March 29) I am having knee surgery for them to go in and fix whatever tear there is. This will be followed by 2 days of complete bed rest, and 4 weeks of therapy 3 times a week! I am so greatful for Jecca and Amy who are helping with the kids during these next few weeks!
Besides all of that not much is happening around here :P Justin travels about every other week. The girls and I are itching to get outdoors, as spring is coming to the area. It has been about 50-60 almost every day for 2 weeks. We took our first trip of the year to the park, and spent sometime out front.
