A long time coming.

Sorry it has been so long. I am trying to upload some pictures but for some reason it is not working. Very frustrating. I will try later. Not a whole lot has been happening so maybe that is why i have not posted, well as I think about it alot has happened, I will try not to bore you with my life over the last 3 weeks. Perfect Circle Race Shop has moved to Jenison, with a bigger and better building, so now we can get our barn back. Jessica cant wait for the snowmobiles to be back and I cant wait for the lawn mower and golf carts to be back in the barn. Mike has been VERY busy moving things over and meeting with people. I am not quite sure if I like him gone from 8:00a.m until 6:00 if not later. I guess I have been spoiled with having him work behind the house. Jessica has been a normal teenager, here their and every where. For those of you who do not have teenagers yet, start praying now. They are very challenging!! People keep telling me it gets better, they also tell me she is alot like me!! Which scares me even more!! Brooklyn loves school and loves to bake. We had conferences this week and she is doing great at school. And Logan is quite the character, he amazes me everyday at what he says or does. We learned at conferences with him that he can do alot more than we thought he could do, he has got us all fooled. He also continues to love school, he continues to walk every day and getting better and better at that with hardly no help. Praise God! Who would have ever thought that 5 years later Logan would even be here, or walking or going to school. He is such a blessing to all of us. At school he is in a normal Kindergarden class in the morning and then in the CLC room in the afternoon with extra help and pt, ot, speech and reading. He is even reading books. It is so fun to listen to him read to us even if they are repetative books. He goes to Holland rehab on Mondays for extra pt, ot and speech, we are working very hard on his studdering. As for Me... well I havn't done a whole lot lately, I am 14 weeks along and feeling great. I just went to the doctor this week and the heartbeat is 150. I go for another ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure everything looks OK. With this pregnancy I am a little, ok alot more nervous. I can carry up to 20 pounds now. Yea I know whoopty, it was 10 pounds so I was excited and I can vaccuum a little..YEA!! I love to vacuum. I have been helping out at the cafe when I can. If you have never been their you need to try it out, they have the best muffins, cookies, soup and sandwiches. Its all homemade and cheap. Deb or I can make you a coffee. Thanksgiving was great, I love to go to my moms and eat, she is the best cook in the world, and all I had to bring was my famous green bean casserole!!:) Its kind of a joke to my family. We went to my moms during the day, well all day, Mike hunted for the first time this year and I tried to take a nap but Logan was not going to let that happen. And then at night we went to Ottawa Reformed Church to celebrate with the De Witt side. Again great food!! We have so much to be thankful for. Tonight we are going to watch Mike race at the Delta Plex, if you ever get a chance to go they are fun to watch, and the kids love it. Sorry this is so long, I think I will end now before I bore you any more. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and now its time to get ready for Christmas.
Blessings,
Kathy

This post goes out to all of Logan's old teachers

Here's a picture of Mike and Brian Campbell after his win in Tennessee! They received a guitar instead of a trophy.



Here's a couple pictures of Logan reading his books on the potty. Logan goes faithfully on the potty after an enema, so he no longer poops in his diaper. I bet you wish he would have done this last year when it was swimming time! :) If Logan only knew what I was posting!!!

First win with the ASA Perfect Circle race team!!

Brian Campbell in the new Perfect Circle Racing house car won the All American 400 race in Nashville, Tennessee. Congrats to Brian and team and of course to my hubby. Very proud of you boys. All the hard work and no sleep has paid off.

I promise these are the last pictures for today

Family tradition is carving pumpkins at my parents' house.


Isn't he cute!


Mike is trying to get Logan to scoop out the pumpkin seeds. Logan wants nothing to do with it!


Jessica's fake baby "Trent" from school.

The final result!

Good times, great food, and lots of great memories. Thanks grandma and grandpa!

And some more pictures...

Logan ended up having emergency surgery on October 9. To make a long story short...he fell in his wheelchair at school, took him home to watch him, threw up 2 hours later, all he wanted to do was sleep so my mom and I took him to Spectrum. After a CAT scan and xray, we found out he had a small skull fracture and his ventricles were enlarged. Dr. Foody ended up doing surgery at around 9:30 p.m. His shunt was fine. It was basically the tubing was not draining properly. After two days in the hospital, he got to come home. The nurses said he was the "best patient ever." How could you not want a patient like Logan...who loves to watch tv!

My first attempt at blogging!

I have been wanting to start a blog for some time...since I love to check out everyone else's blogs! Mike is gone this weekend, so Pam came over to help me get started. Logan and Brooklyn are at their dad's this weekend. Jessica and Grandma Bubbles (Bursley) are hanging out with me. I have several pictures to show. I didn't know where to start, so here is a glimpse of what we've been doing over the summer/fall. I hope you enjoy reading!
