And so...

Matthew's finger is gross.  It's still swollen and bruised.  The nail did fall off.  Paul cannot even look at it.  I can but I get all tingly and not in a good way.  I know it hurts him especially when it's bumped.  He won't let anyone touch it and goes into a panic when you try to look at it.  On a lighter note I had conference with his pre school teachers.  He is doing WONDERFUL!!!  He will be ready for kindergarten and will not need young fives!  His teachers love him and do not have any problems with him.  They are paranoid he's going to hurt his finger and keep reminding him to keep his hand in his lap.  But he's very careful with it so I'm not to worried.  

Now... On to David.  Well... he's David what can I say?  He is as goofy as ever and is his own person.  He is doing great!  We have no had any pneumonia yet this year *knocks on wood*.  He did miss a week of school a couple weeks ago.  He had a nasty runny green nose that wouldn't quit then there was two snow days.  He wound up having a sinus infection.  We all did.  But we're all good now thank God.

Grandpa's funeral went ok.  I took pictures at the cemetery.  My cousins didn't try to start anything thankfully.  But their Dad... (who does NOT deserve the title as Uncle) tried to walk into my sister at the dinner.  Anyways...

The cleaning out of Grandpa's house is going fast.  My Mom, Aunts and Uncle are doing a great job!  I do admire them for getting in there and getting it done and over with.  No sense sitting on it. That wouldn't do anyone any good.  My Mom is handing the death very well.  It's like I said... He's been ready to "go be with ma' since she passed almost six and a half years ago.  The morning she died he said he wanted to go.  I am actually surprised he lasted this long.  Only because I thought he'd die of a broken heart long before now.  We've basically had six years to prepare ourselves for this.  I am happy... yes the loss of my Grandpa is sad, he was my last living Grandparent but how could I not be happy for him?

Onto Paul's family...

Things with Grandma Betty's house are going slow.  Her house is staying in the family so there is no hurry.  Paul's parents are taking it.  I'd give 'almost' anything to buy Paul's parents house from them.  We need the space BADLY.  Our house we live in is to damn small and it's a piece of crap.  We HATE HATE HATE it but we are stuck.  We don't know if we'll ever get out.

Any-who... Last I herd Grandma Shoe is doing good.  We haven't seen her since before Christmas.  Naughty Grandchildren we are.  We should really get over there and see her.  Other then that we haven't heard anything.  I guess no news is good news.

And now... since I have written a novel I will close this with pictures of Grandpa's funeral... the good ones from the cemetery.

PS.... I LOVE COMMENTS!!!
