Home 9 weeks (tomorrow)

We have been home now for nine weeks. I can tell you it has been hard, but the boys are starting to learn the rules. They have stopped fighting as much and their English has improved a lot.

Yesterday was Jack's 15th birthday. I think he enjoyed it except for the fact that he sprained his ankle really bad last saturday at a wrestling match. He is hobbling around because his crutches hurt his arms. Last night we had cake, ice cream and presents. He was all smiles. I have some pictures but I have a cold and am too tired to post them right now.

Jack didn't finish wrestling because of his ankle but Alex got third and my Nephew Ben (who is 5) got first.

Monday I took Alex to his eye specialist appointment in Omaha-the weather was not good. But my Dad drove us (me, Alex, Matthew, my sister Angie and two of her boys who had appointments in Omaha also) down and back. There isn't anything they can do for Alex's right eye. He is to old so we are getting him so glasses without a prescription in order to protect his good eye. If something happened to his good eye he would be basically blind. Next Monday all three boys go to the dentist-that should be an adventure.
