Not sure how many people will actually see this- since I haven't updated in a few years...How in the heck did that happen? Life happened I guess. I am adding a new picture of Jordan. Jordan is 12 and doing wonderful. She is full of energy and spunk for sure. She is doing wonderful on the medical home front as well. Her remaining kidney continues to do the job of two. And her doctor appointments are always good- so thankful for that. Dawson is 13 almost 14 and is a little old man still. He gets a little sassy at times- but I can handle that. He is pretty easily redirected. Amanda is 18 now and graduated high school last weekend. I am not a crier- but it really got my tears flowing. She is such a wonderful young woman and to think that I had something to do with that outcome is an amazing feeling. My best accomplishment in life for sure! She will start college this fall in Columbia and wants to go into education. Amazing for sure. :) Bruce continued to make choices not healthy for our family. Unfortunately he has not seen the kids for over a year- communicating only through letters. I am hoping he has learned his lesson and when he comes back to Missouri- he will have a relationship with the kids. I am still working at Mark Twain Elementary and still love it. It has been a great job. Hope everyone is doing well and I will try not to wait three years in between updates next time.
