I'm trying to be writing more, knitting more, and sewing more, not to mention cleaning more. All of which are tireing. Jerid will be starting Bowling in the Summer Special Olympics soon, I'm excited for him, I think he might like it. If not, well we gave it a go. I'm also trying to get more active, moving more, in other words excersize. Sometimes easier said then done.

Jerid at the State compition for Special Olympics, MN

Today was the last day of the State compitations for swimming for the Special Olympics! Jerid was apart of the assisted swim copitations, in his was a fifteen meter swim, he had placed in second, as you can see he got a metal and everything!!!! We are so proud of him!!! I can't wait to see what he accompishes next!!!

Taxes, Caribou Coffee, and life in general...

The tax season is almost over, and of corse we are the kinds of people who wait till the last minute, well at least if feels like it. Justin, Jerid and I are at the local Caribou Coffee. I'm glad Jerid is doing well, he likes it here, which makes me relaxed when I come here. The baristas are awesome and understand Jerid's limitations. which again helps alot. Justin and I have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off, when it comes to the Carver house, our own house, paying bills, dealling with taxes, Jerid's swim team requirements for the Special Olympics, and complications with his family. (I promised I wouldn't get into to much detail about that). I have signed up for Twitter, I don't know what I was thinking when I did it. I was just curious. I wouldn't say I'm hooked, but I wouldn't say I'm not. I've been taking more pictures of my dolls, and the Carver house, the weatherization people have finished the job, and a doll was a casualty of the whole mess. Which upsets us but not much we can do about it. We have to move on. One of these pictures is from a piano from inside the house, it's an Ivers & Pond, from the 1800's, which still works! It is a beauty, even though it needs to be tuned. Other pictures are of the reseading flood waters from and around Carver, MN... It is so close to summer, and it looking so pretty outside
