It's been a while since I've updated so I thought I should finally do it. Life has been crazy this month. I was talking about my uncles death in my last update. My cousins came together to try and honor him with a service and full military honors, 21 gun salute and Taps. I still have my grandpa's flag from his salute 12 years ago. My cousins and I are left with a huge legal mess now. My grandparents left their house to my mom and uncle which sounds easy but the house is still in grandma & grandpas name. My brother has decided that he wants to live in the house until we sell it. Well legeally he can't do that and we don't want him there. He doesn't have a job or any way to pay the bills. It looks like the state will end up getting the house because my brother won't agree. We just want to sell it ASAP, split any money left and move on. I'm hoping he will change his mind because my grandparents worked had for that house.

This month was a month for strokes too. My great Auntie Joe had a stroke earllier in the month. She is recovering well at her daughters home. My momther-in-law, Donna aka mom had a stroke on the 21st. It affected her left side and her speech. She was able to make a fist with her left hand by the 24th and go home! She still has a lot of hard work in front of her but she's a fighter.
Here is mom & Ralph 10 days before her stroke.

We also took the kids to the beach on the 19th to catch some waves. The waves weren't quite there but we had fun anyways. Matt took his surf board and gave it his best shot!
We also made a gingerbread village.
Matt got a new scooter.
Savannah lost her first two teeth.
I don't have the Christmas pictures ready yet but I will soon.
