And life gets CRAZY

I have neglected blogging for some time now, and so much has happened.
3 major items to note.
Shawn got accepted to the Mayo Hospital Residency in Rochester, Minnesota
Just as I was happily cleaning and storing the winter clothes for spring/summer. I now look at them and wonder if they are going to be enough insulation from the Canadian chill that keeps Rochester at a frigid temp. during the winter time.
Next last Sunday we were all enjoying our relaxing Easter day. The weather was nice and spring like, and so Maverick was out playing and so we thought smelling the roses. We then, packed up and were heading out the door for Grandma's and a blood scream comes from Shawn, in that fatherly voice, that tells everyone to duck and hide. I yet know what has unleashed this roar, and told him to take a 5 min breather before he attacks our little Maverick. I guess instead of smelling the roses, Maverick was practicing his ABC's on the truck paint with a finely sharpened rock. He was so proud of his M's that he informed us that he even did it on Dads, car!
Lastly, yesterday while I was pursuing a future home for us, we hear sweet Finn crying out side. Shawn goes out to get her, and Maverick was helping her onto the trampoline. He was pulling her arm up and over the tramp. rail, and as of today after X-rays and dr. visits she has a limp arm that she refuses to use. So today we are heading in for an MRI to get a better look.
To top this all off, Shawn left yesterday for on out rotation and we won't see him for about 2 weeks.
When life gets crazy, I try to remember it's making memories, and moments to learn from.
