We just had a Yreka moment!! J2 really resents schoolwork intruding in his playtime, legotime, whatever. So, I set the timer for 30 mins and we worked hard….then he got a 5-10 min break. He loved beating the timer on his geography worksheet – he finished 2 sec before the timer went off.

So, just as I do tasks I’d rather not to a timer (it’s a wonder how much you can clean in 15 mins!) – we are finding it helps with our seatwork time too! Hope this helps someone else!

Going to keep this short because we’ve been gone all day and there is TONS to do to catch up!

DH took the day off today and we went to SF to visit Brett & Christy at the hospital….and we ended up being blessed to bring them home to Woodland!! Tomorrow they will go all the way back to Redding! It’s so great to know that they are going home and not in a strange (but beautiful) town away from us all!

Continuing to pray for full recovery!

My picture may have stunk – but this picture of their whole family is just too precious! Here is my brother, Brett, his baby girl (6 mos) and his wife, Christy – when Brett was still in the Critical Care Unit.

Again, thank you all who have been praying – and please continue to pray for his recovery and the outcome of the damage and future surgeries!

Today my Stepmom, Dad and I went back to SF to visit Brett! I tried to take a picture of him, but it turned out looking bad so I’ll try to get another one next time and post it here. He really, really, really appreciates your prayers! Please keep them coming!

Today they removed his bandages and decided they need to keep an eye on his soft tissue – if it has died, then he will need skin grafts and other surgeries – it’s going to be at least another week before he is released. We took a DVD player to him today and Thursday my husband, the boys and I will take him movies.
