Yes, I am still here and YES, I am here to bother you some more. I posted some pictures of Maxwell and other members of the family. It so neat to look through the pictures and pick out good ones of each of us. I had several with my Mom in them, but did not have one of Dad. I guess he will miss out this time. I am SURE Megan has one but I did not get any. I was supposed to start baby-sitting today, but Matt had the day off because of the holiday. I stayed home and mowed the yard and piddled the rest of the day away. Don't tell Betty that I swept the floor OR emptied the dishwasher. One of those things that I do and never tell any one. I get to go spend the next few days holding my Grandson. Maybe I can convince Megan to take a nap or something. I am SO looking forward to this.
I noticed last week at work that it does not hurt as much to get on my bicycle. I guess this means I am still improving! Yes, God is still by my side helping me through all of this. I had to sit through our company safety meeting and, yes, those metal chairs still hurt my broken tailbone. Someone asked me if it would ever go away or is it getting better. I think it is better, but it is still not a pleasant thing to have. Please do try this one! Take my word on it. Not Pleasant!
Betty and I went with some friends to the Home Show yesterday. We walked quite a bit and it did not bother me that much. 6 months ago I would have had to take a couple of breaks because my pelvic area would start hurting. It is not comfortable, but the bad pains seem to be fading, too. They had a demonstration going on there of a Trikke. It is like a scooter, but has three wheels and no pedals. You control the speed by turning the steering wheel and leaning back and forth. It looks like it would be a great way to exercise but I am still afraid of these things. I did try a small ride of it and my pelvic area won't allow me to push too much and my fear of falling created another problem. I was a trick to get on. I was not sure which foot needs to go on first. My right leg is not strong enough to support my weight for very long, but I knew not to let it be up as I brought the second one up. Another one of those challenges. The girl trying to help me was not sure what to do. She asked me if my knee was bad and when I told her it was my pelvic area, she got one of those looks like she did not understand or could not comprehend my issue. I think with time and patience, this would be great exercise. Since I don't have much of either of those, I will just have to pass for now.
Life is a great thing and I am so glad you all helped keep me around to bother you! I thank you all for the love and support you gave me and my family through all of this. And Thanks to God for His help, too. Someone I know has a Birthday coming up. I think, like last year, HE will be Forty AGAIN. Good thing I don't count very well, huh?
Enjoy the pictures. I will try to change them out every once in a while. I am just glad the picture of me counting to four is gone and Maxwell will greet you for a while. It always amazed my that four glasses of tea can make you look like that. It was just iced tea brought in from New York.... (From Long Island, I believe....)

Congratulations once again! He is absolutely gorgeous. I know you are all so proud. I envy you getting to go spend the next few days with him, sounds like a lot of fun. I was starting to wonder if you were ever going to get around to putting pictures up, I thought ya'll were just spending too much time with Maxwell for you to update us here LOL. Well enjoy yourselves, and congratulations again. Your always in our prayers. Love Sallie, Scott and Noah
It took me a little time to get these pictures and then on how to put them on here. I really enjoyed my day today holding Maxwell and with me there, it gave Megan some time without having to deal with everything that comes up. I am really going to enjoy being a Grandpa!
