So much to say....

Dwayne has a compression fracture in his back. Essentially, his L5 vertebrae "buckled" under the pressure of his seizure. Yay. Still not sure when he will return to work but we are continuing physical therapy and maintaining a positive attitude! This was taken the Sunday morning after the kids left. My camera date is all screwy so just go with me here.
Tyler, Noah, and Eddie getting in touch with their guido side on 07/08/10 (Kalli's actual birthday.).

Brooke, Eddie, Kalli, Noah, and Tyler striking a pose on Kalli's birthday. I think this was the 4th cake we'd had at this point.


Dwayne took this lovely picture of us on the 4th of July. We decided to park next to the Jack in the Box in Murfreesboro and enjoy a "free" activity. Which truly ended up costing me around $15.00 in milkshakes and more than a little drama with Kalli as she wailed that we were, (insert whiny, dramatic, 13 yr old voice here) "Wasting the 4th of July!"



Athena, bitches. We had a great visit to the Parthenon until Kalli decided she was bored and her brothers were "gay" for enjoying the visit. Smile everyone!





The Parthenon.




Is it wrong that the idea for this pic was mine? Or more wrong that they were totally up for it?




The Mills clan picnic as snapped by the lifeguard on duty. No one died during the taking of this picture, FYI.







Heather, the most gorgeous niece in the whole world and her boyfriend and bass player of The Shockwaves, Nick!


The grandkids- I love this shot.




Chihuly and Couture at the Frist- Amazing.




The group at Chuck E. Cheese. Eddie's birthday and cake #1.




Chuckles from Toy Story 3. Loved it and am very disappointed there are no chuckles items for purchase.




Tyler, the buff dude who is upper left. Three days of football camp. Crispy doesn't even begin to describe how much I burned. But Tyler got an invite to another camp called Top Gun as one of the top 1200 high school players in the country- yay!


We did pottery, saw a couple of movies, ran here and there, and everywhere.
My hair is very dry and I am peeling from the football camp still. (Amanda jerky, anyone?)
Now things are settling back to normal....normal being physical therapy, doctor's visits, and work.
Perhaps now, I can post more often? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
