My Very Blessed Nephew

Ben came by yesterday for me to remove part of his stitches. This kid is so blessed to be alive! I removed all of the stitches from his face and behind his ear and the rest of the stitches and staples have to come out next week. He did start the dental work process Wednesday so he can get his pretty, normal/non redneck smile back:)

Emma was so sweet with him. She kept looking at him and saying "Do Do" for boo boo. She tried to help me with the stitch removal and putting the steri strips on. She was so cute rubbing his arm and "taking care" of him.

Kissing the uninjured side of his face!

It's official, in the words of Alice Cooper, "School's Out for Summer!". Let the games begin. Ashton made the high school basketball team and starts his camps and practices on Monday. Brady leaves for church camp on Sunday. I am hopeful that when he returns he can get his drivers license and maybe find a job. This kid needs some major doses of reality!
Bo is off from work next week, but he has a major amount of work to do around here. We have to get a pump for our pool and get it opened, yard work, barn work, house work, work, work, work. He will probably wish he was not "off".
So the summer begins and it will end before we blink our eyes. My oldest is a Junior in high school now, Ashton will be a freshman.......I can't believe it. Then there is miss priss who just goes with the flow. She just takes it all in and looks at all these boys in and out of our house as part of the family. No wonder she is such a tomboy.
