May, it happened

well let's see.
looking back over the calender. Jed finished all his classes at UT and started working as a substitute teacher at Pflugerville and Round rock independent school districts. It was a small influx of cash before the school year ended and we sure need it. We took Anna to the ER after a week of unusual fevers and bad head aces that would come and go seemingly at random. The doctors were great (we took her to the children's hospital) but they had a hard time finding the cause of the problem. They finally gave her antibiotics for a bladder urinary tract infection because they are so common in girls her age and because the lab work showed a very small trace. What ever the problem was it was gone for good after that visit. Ian and Jed went on a father son camp out with a bunch of fathers and sons from our congregation at church and much fun was had amongst the younger participants. The patient fathers enjoyed them selves as well even if it took a little more effort. Just about everyone had a well check this month (and some sick visits) and some went to the eye doctor and I think for a while I was living in the car driving people around to appointments and finding baby sitters for the other kids. Crazy crazy.
Jed graduated from institute and gave an amazing talk. Then he graduated from the U Teach program (teaching certificate) then the history and social studies graduation, then UT wide graduation. And  he is finally done graduating. Then it was our 10th anniversary and I'm so happy to report that we are confidently planning many more of those. We then packed the kids and the dog and handed them of to various friends and family and went just the two of us to Fredricksburg Texas and had a two night stay in a little cosy cabin. It was VERY nice and I just love my wonderful husband. We are going to be just fine when it is just the two of us again even though I did start to miss the kids terribly the second night. This really surprised me. Then the kids had their last day of school and we took them with us to the temple in San Antonio, then to the Alamo and the river walk. May was a very full and very good month.
