Living Life

 The initial week of Evan having diabetes was a big adjustment. But since then we have been enjoying life with a little extra carb counting and insulin.

Sometimes Evan likes to weigh his own food.

We went to Nana and Papa's once weekend for some fun reason that completely escapes me right now. Is this true? I feel like it is but actually I don't think it is. Nana and Papa came to visit us and we saw MONSTER TRUCKS. But that was actually before diagnosis of diabetes.

We went on a hike at the Barton Creek greenbelt with another family. It was loads of fun and lots of adventuring. I like to say on the trail but we were all over up in the rock wall area and the kids loved it and did super well.

 Taft climbed up into that cave above his head. He was the only kid who did!

Our final destination was a water hole on the dry creek bed that does not dry out. Evan LOVED it, in particular.

Kent picks all his own clothes, ok? He looks super stylish, especially with the hat!

We went to Oklahoma to see Doug, Amanda, and Dean and see an Easter pageant. Winner with seeing family, loser with seeing the pageant. Our tired family didn't make it very long. But we still had a great time with everyone!

Evan really likes this toy.

Watching the retiring of the flag that is completely ceremonial with a cannon shot but not really the retiring of the flag because they just put it back up again.

Seeing the "Eniac" (phonetic spelling) computer in the artillery museum.

And life goes on. All the kids have been very patient with Evan's needs. Evan is very patient with all of his pokes. There are some really frustrating days when technology isn't working quite right. But for the most part things are going well. We take it one day at a time. Evan is blessed to have such great siblings who love him and do everything they can for him. I hope he always sees them as the friends they are, especially when he feels frustrated and different with managing his diabetes. 

Life going on...

Sometimes this is what my personal scripture study exercise time turns into in the morning. So many cute kids love me and like to find me!

Evan likes brooms and vacuums. He also likes to carry something long and sometimes dangerous. Toothbrushes are not too dangerous. The whisk he took to his endo appointment was ok though he was loathe to let go of it while they weighed him. The little hammer seen here is getting a little more dangerous and I think screw drivers are down right scary.
