A Scary Terry Life: WE ARE BACK!!! Biking and Bowling and even Fishing

After an exteneded break from blogging I have made my fabulous return to the blogging world in order to keep everyone up to date on our amazing lives. So far this summer (if you can call it that with the weather we've had) the boys have been very busy. Lets see, we will start with our oldest boy:

Christian is still employed with Morgan Stanley and while he actually only works 5 days a week it sometimes seems like he is glued to the job 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I guess thats the price I pay for having a smart husband that the team just can't do without. Right now though he is looking at having a pretty nasty surgery done in mid August and we are just waiting for the doctors office to schedule the pretest that has to go with it. In his spare time, he help my parents maintain their yard, takes the kids bowling, fishing, helps me with Zachs therapy, and watches the boys so that I can fulfill my many scout positions.

Melody: What can I say but that life is complicated? I still go to our old ward (did I mention we moved in with my parents again) for Zachs and Joshs scouts. Zach is a Webelos and Josh is a Tiger and this was the only pack he could be in. This is on Wednesday night so I am a leader ther for Josh. Then on Thursday afternoons I am the Den Leader in my new ward for the Wolf pack. Then on Thursday night I am the Den Leader Trainer for the District. Its crazy with 3 scout positions but I love it! When I'm not doing Scouts I'm trying to keep the house clean, taking kids to swimming lessons, going to physical therapy for my back and neck, helping Zach with his physical therapy, and trying to help the kids enjoy their summer.

Zach has continued to blow us away with what he has been able to do. Since he is no longer in the wheelchair, therapy at home this summer is a lot more fun. Basically I have been getting out his bike or walker and letting him go up and down the street until he gets tired. When I first started with the bike he could only go 10 minutes, tonight he went almost 30. It was incredible! He starts his summer school program next week but will miss the first day because he is going to be going to Cub Country with the Scouts (Lucky me, I get to go to!). He loves to go bowling. We use the ramp for his ball but he just walks right up to it and pushes the ball down then waits while someone gets him a new one. He knows how the systems works. Hes also really enjoyed going to some new movies but I think his favorite was Mr. Poppers Penguins as he danced through the entire movie.

Josh has been having a great summer. He has loved having so many boys living so close that he could play with. The minute that I will let him, he is at the door trying to find a friend to play with. The past week we started swimming lessons. He isn't sure he likes this but I think it is something that he needs more than anything. Like his big brother, he would much rather be out fishing with dad, bowling with the family, or riding bikes with his brother. He is very excited for Cub Country as well and is very close to earning his Tiger.

Well, thats us for now, but I promise I will keep this updated from now on!!!!
