We FINALLY paid off one of our debts.
We had not bought normal groceries for 9 months before that.
We had plenty of food, and nutrition, but nothing normal and fun.
Having that one debt paid off gave us $700 more per month.
Breathing room!
Debt is not worth it.
With some breathing room in the budget, we could finally get Josh a regular haircut.
This is the quilt I wanted to make by Christmas, but it didn't happen.
It's Anthony's and has his favorite characters and superheroes on it.
But, I don't like the way it turned out so far.
It looks like a Boy Scout shirt with the colors.
(nothing against Scouts!!)
And the block arrangement did not turn out how I expected.
The top is done, but I haven't put it together with batting and a back, so it might change after being put together and quilted.
Anthony will still love it.
Anthony was so excited to finish his hearing test.
He finished it in 15 minutes!!
His tubes from last year are working, and his left ear is hearing great!
(right ear has severe to profound hearing loss)
Anthony taking selfies with Maggie and Josh
At occupational therapy.
Anthony loved painting and making his airplane.
We've had so much snow this winter!
Andy and Anthony both made snowmen. :)
This was Josh's full before shot of his hair.
I got in the van one day and half my sunglasses were under the gas pedal.
:(
It's ok though.
They lasted so many years!
I went to Costco to order more ASAP, since I have a problem with glare.
I ordered regular glasses and sunglasses, and they found a discount, greater than the normal 2-pair discount!!
Anthony loves flying still at therapy.
Only one of the many thousands of pictures Anthony takes of his toys throughout each month.
He arranges them, and takes pictures, altering filters and all the other gadgets available.
Maggie made this valentine for Gus.
Maggie & me
Lilly, Maggie, Anthony
Lilly turned 17, and can't wair for her next birthday.
During one of our snowy nights, Andy thought it would be fun to bring a chicken out of the coop.
She didn't like it so much.
Maggie and Anthony made an igloo in the center of our front yard.
Where's our van?!
Anthony thinks every day is his birthday.
He made a snow "cake" and was so proud of his "birthday cake."
Making baskets regularly at Cub Scouts!
And, he got to participate in posting the colors.
Anthony was SO excited to get to carry the troop flag.
New glasses and my haircut
We visited the temple!
And Grandpa and Grandma Virginia.
Lilly scrubbed the kitchen one night!!
Just 3 of many more. :)
One more thing that happened--Maggie cooked bacon on the waffle iron.
I had a picture, but it wasn't a great one.
Just wanted to remember her fun idea. :)
