Been a while since we updated. Lindsey and Sierra are both doing well. They have both had several blood draws to check various levels and they both seem to be doing well. Sierra's swelling is almost nonexistent, but she is still taking Lasix 3 times a day. Lindsey's levels seem to be stable...finally, after weeks of adjustments.  Other than that we have been busy with 'normal' stuff.

Last weekend for Lindsey's 1 year anniversary, we went to a cabin over near Wallowa Lake, then to a fund raiser event at an Enterprise basketball game. The Butterfields did a great job! Thank you for a great and relaxing weekend.

This week has concluded the crazy schedule with everyone doing sports.  Hunter had his last game, then had the final party on Tuesday.  It was fun, some of the parents played basketball with the kids on the team.  Hunter was really bummed it was over.  However, baseball is a month and a half away and he and Gage are looking forward to that.

Lindsey's last game was on Thursday.  Stacy did a good job managing that. The last few games the team had really improved and it was really fun to see them improve.

Megan played in the Huntington tournament on Friday and Saturday.  Their team has been undefeated this year.  The North Powder boys and girls won the tournament.  It was a fun season to watch.  The girls all did well, it is sad to see the team break up as some of them move up into high school. 

Now, Megan and Sierra will continue on with club volleyball.  They have been enjoying that.  Their first tournament is this Saturday.  Our January and February schedule was crazy, and we knew it was going to be.  We had signed up 4 kids for sports with 3 of the 4 doing 2 different sports at the same time. However, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.  We thought often about where we were a year ago and the circumstances we were in then.  It made watching our kids in their various activities that much more priceless.  To have it so that ALL of us could go to each others games and support one another was awesome.  It was so great to see them all succeed and enjoy being kids. 

 Took the kids up to see the Klondike Derby up near Anthony Lakes. The snow is 7-8 feet deep. The Boy Scouts made some awesome snow shelters.
