Happy Birthday Austin!

Austin turns 12 today. He had a soccor game last night that was an away game and they didn't return until after 9pm to the school. I stopped by Walmart on the way home and asked him to pick out a treat to take to his class the next day for his birthday and he wasn't really interested. He said it wasn't any big deal. He finally picked Swill Rolls (one of his favorites) and when I asked him if there was any particular present he wanted he asked for camaflouge duct tape. (I don't know if that is spelled right) Can you imagine that being a child's wish for a birthday gift? I did buy it for him along with a new sight for his bow. With Matt unable to get around just yet it is highly unlikely they will be going on their hunting trip. Today is packed with things to do. Tuesdays I am the librarian at Austin's school, then it's off to doctor appointments for Matt and Katlyn and hopefully we'll have some answers.

One thing that happened yesterday boosted Matt's spirits a bit. He had a roof off and there was call for rain today so he was very concerned about getting that roof in the dry. He has a man that helps him out from time to time but he is not very dependable and doesn't have a phone. Matt wasn't sure if the roof was going to get taken care of so he called another roofing company (Gibbles) and asked the owner if he would go by and check on his roof at the end of the day. The man said he would and when Matt told him to bill us he said absolutely not! He said that's what friends are for. Thanks Russ! That meant alot.
