Lots of changes!

So lots has happened since my last post. This is Brandon's leg in a hardcast from thigh to ankle. I'll get to that story momentarily.

Things I've missed blogging about:

*Maddex turned 4 yrs in Februrary. He loves being a big brother and loves being "in charge" of Dane.

* Brandon and I celebrated our 7th anniversary in April.(wow!)

*Brandon turned the big 30 April 5th. Ironically, he aquired a cane on the day of his birthday. He was involved in an accident at work. I received "the phone call", the thing I dread most, being the wife of a coalminer, early in the morning. He was struck by a miner cable. Don't feel bad if you don't know what that is. (I didn't know either) It's basically the same thing as a normal power cord, except about 6 inches in diameter. I'm so lucky I'm not a widow. Lucky that he took the hit in the knee and not the face. It "exploded" his MCL, partially tore his ACL and caused excessive bone bruising and internal bleeding. He Just returned to work this week and has come a long way as far as healing, but still has a long way to go.

His cake.

Dane is the funnest baby EVER. This picture was taken today. As you can see he is growing up fast. He celebrated his 1st birthday in May and is now walking all over the place. He has brought more joy to this family than I ever thought possible. He completes our family. I'm so sad that he is growing up too fast!

Andy and Maddex graduated preschool in May.

Andy and Maddex have been having lots of fun playing tee ball this year.

Andy will be starting kindergarten in the fall. He is soooo ready. He is so smart and loves to learn.

This post will have to do as a quicky update of our family! Hope everyone is doing well!
