Lucian and I put up the tree over the weekend. He loves to decorate the tree. He has but the tree together for 3 years now. Then I put the lights on and we decorate it together. Jeff's not feeling well again. The last medicine they tried isn't working again. So we are changing to another one. Unfortunalty that means that he has to 3 month without a good protection to keep things slowed down. It just won't slow down. Please keep him in your prayers over these next few month. I will keep you up to date.

Lucian's Halloween costume

I thought Lucian's costume was pretty cool he's a head banger. He is growing up so fast. Now he likes handing out the candy as much as trick or treating.

This is Lucian's pumpkin he carved this year. All by him self. Pretty scarry. I sure hope the weather gets a little (lot) warmer for Friday. The kid won't want to go Trick-or-Treating. This is my favorite time of year. I also love to turn my clock back and sleep that extra hour on the cold mornings. It sure has been cold 39 right now. It thundering, lightening, and sleating all at once. Lucky us. Iam praying for Indian summer.

I'm So Proud of Him!!!

This is Adam's Army picture from boot camp he graduated last week. Michelle, Darryl, Danielle, Lexie and Mom went to see him. I wish I could have gone to. We miss him terrible. But we are all very proud!!!

This was todays catch. I figure it cost about $500. When you add the trip to the ER and the Cell Phone. Jeff and Lou went down to cascade creek to see if any lake runs were coming up yet. They were supposed to be looking! In stead Lou got this on his line and Jeff was afraid it was going to get a way. So he went in after it. Then he found out it was slippery when he fell and hit his chin on a rock. So now we have a wet cell phone, two stiches and a big lake run. We figure it weighs about 14 lbs. What a great dad we have!! He'll do just about anything for us!!

This is what we did all summer long!!!

Lucian and his bowling team took 3rd place. It was there first year bowling. He was so excited.

This is what we did recently. Ice fishing at the peninsula. I sat in the truck kept warm & of course took pictures.

I haven't done very good keeping up with my blog but I'm sure everyone knows why and for those who don't. This is what been going on. Two days before thanksgiving Jeff was diagnosed with MS. It has been a ruff 5 months. It was very active when we found out he was in the middle of a flare up. It took 2 rounds of very strong steroids to settle it down. Then he got an infection in his esophagus from the steroids and lost 10 pounds (like he can afford it). He couldn't eat for a week. After not getting much help here in town I took him to Cleveland clinic in January. We now have him on avonex a shot that will help keep him in remission. They did a new MRI 4 weeks a go and feel every thing is settled down. He still has nerve damage that will not get any better because the ms is in an advanced stage. He is a real trooper. This man has only missed 4 days of work 2 in the hospital 2 to go Cleveland. He amazes me everyday. Through it all he has carried me to on my down days telling me how amazing I am for taking such good care of him and Lucian. He has also managed to stay sober. I can't stay that I would have. This has really changed his life dramatically he has trouble walking because his right foot drops and catches the floor and the bottom of his feet are numb. He has to be very careful driving and just recently got a brace for his right foot that helps with the drop foot. He says to me everyday this isn't gonna stop me I'm gonna beat it. If any one can he will. I know I'm rambling now trying to update everyone. Thank you all for your prayers and notes it really helps. I just want everyone to know that he is doing better. He can't wait for better weather to work on his car and the house. I've gotten back to crafting and stuff. So I will again try to keep in touch. If you don't want to leave a message on the blog drop us an e-mail. Love to you all!!! Missy
