I am fine, we are all fine. Phil is now under 180 lbs. which is GGGGRRREAATT! A mere shadow of himself. I have posted pictures on my kodakgallery webpage but I'll try to remember to add to this site before I sign off.
I am still in the low 160s and feeling good except when my fibromyalgia flares. I am truly better than I deserve, that's for sure!!
Dylan is doing well in school this year. His teacher, Mrs. Stewart, followed her class from 3rd to 4th grade so it was not a big adjustment at the beginning of the year. Fourth grade expects more from him, mostly more self-control and accountability. Dylan still goes to his after school program 4 days a week where he continues to cope with his social and peer relationship problems.
Veronica had her 3rd and last child on September 19th. His name is Matthew Marcus Ebel. Dad's 1st name is Marcus. Matthew has done well so far and only had a little jaundice - not enough to do anything about. In his early pictures, Matthew just looks like he has a bit of a tan!
Roni and Mark are planning on getting married on November 7th. First marriage for both. It will provide more stability for all concerned.
Alexis, who is now in the 1st grade, is doing well. She is a chatterbox. She is learning to listen better and is getting good marks. Alexis loves being a "big sister and is a lot of help to her Mom and Dad.
Amanda and Loren are still in the Bahamas. Amanda is the head of the dive program at Small Hope Bay Resort on Andros. She is fulfilling her dream. No financial responsibilities, no kids and they dives twice a day, 5 days a week. I am planning on going down to visit for a few days in March.
I have begun to ride the H-D on my own. I rode around our immediate area for about an hour today. I practiced everything from shifting gears to panic stops and riding in some traffic. I have my permit, of course. I passed the written the first time out. I'll take the road test in the Spring. I am going to try to get a couple more rides in before we have to put it up for the winter.
Winter...... We are expecting some snow in the next 10 days. It shouldn't stick, at least I don't expect it to..... Our sprinklers are blown out and shut off, our hoses are put away and our trees are losing there leaves. Night time temps have been in the 20s. We had a blower put in our fireplace and are going to insulate the crawl space, especially over our bedroom.
Well, that is my update
