I would like to thank you all for all the nice comments and wishes you left ! It made me feel all warm and fuzzy   

My vacation was nice, we had a lot of accidents, but we still had a good time. We had two day of snow, so we took the kids and the sleds off we went. It was fun, the next day grandma came with us. We went to a rather steep hill, by the time you were about half way down you did a good 15 mph. So, that was too fast for me and I did not want to climb that hill again . So dh and son went down and I watched as they rolled the sled. Dad landed on the boy and his little face was scratched up and shoulder was really badly aching. My mom ordered me onto the sled with her. I didn't really want to but then I have to obey my mom, right ;-)  We made about half way down the hill and crashed head on into a small tree. I was sitting behind my mom and it looked as though she broke her neck when we crashed into the tree. But she got up laughing ! I cried, go figure. We cooled her face with snow by then my girls made their way to us as the rescue crew. But my youngest daughter got bit by a dog that chased them down the hill. Luckily it was just bruised and not bleeding. We went up the hill where dh and ds didn't know if they should laugh or not. A fine sight we were. We started on our way home. I was quite a long way home, about 25 min. to walk. But it was still fun. When we came home I saw that my dad had hurt himself aswell, but mom said that that happened at night. The gasbottle was empty and he wanted to exchange it and after he did that he forgot that the gasdoor was still open and in his way so he bumped into it, hard enough to where it left a gash on his temple and was bleeding. So here we are everybody got - except me! My mom had the best shiner I've seen, it turned a wonderful shade of black. Well, we still had a good time and could laugh about it!

We were all sad when the time was over and we had to pack up and go home.

About a week later, we still had ice and snow, my mom and dad went back to the campground to spend the weekend. While they took the dog for a walk my mom slipped and broke her arm. Luckily it was just above the wrist. But she had to get operated and had some wires in her arm. Now they took the wires out and found the it was infected. Luckily that too went away and my mom is now eager to get the cast off so she can do all the things she normally does and wasn't able to do. Maybe it was God's way of telling her to take a break.

Hi Michaela,

Yikes, you guys have sure had some adventures! Homeschoolblogger isn't letting me log in, I have to figure out why it pretends to not know me. I wanted to write an update at my blog...will get to that eventually, I suppose. Anyway, we're here in Montana and settling in, finally have good computer access (my parents' computer is veeeeeeery slow...), but will have much less time, I think! (This week is orientation for international students, not too much happening. We start next week.)
