May phone pics

Another visit to the ranch store. It was Nate's turn to see the new chicks.

After finding out I have some inflammation/nerve damage in my right foot, my sports

medicine doctor wanted to test me for rheumatoid arthritis and sent me directly over to

the lab, after an office visit. For the most part, I tried hard not to think about it, but when

the results came back negative, I was actually surprised at the depth of my relief.

We really do visit other stores that are not ranch/feed stories, but apparently the

months of April and May did not reflect that very well. A different store, more baby

chicks and this time, two little kids who could have watched them for a good hour or three.

For ten years, our children have been playing soccer. And I have never seen anything like this game
Matt played at the beginning of May. Never. This picture doesn't even begin to show the true
amount of rain coming down. Every once in a long while my heart feels like soccer is a dumb sport.

I got to accompany Ben's class on a walking field trip. I loved being with that amazing boy of mine.

Matt giving his state presentation to the class. This boy was born a presenter. It was something

else to watch. And the Powerpoint he did with zero help from anyone...truly awesome. I'm a fan.
