Engeeo

First my story, and then general updates....I mean, after all, a 4 month hiatus from blogging deserves proper updates.

Luke and I were riding home from school jamming to our new toddler tunes CDs.  He says, "Please, Mommy, Engeeo song."  Now, I realize moms have a certain way of understanding what their kids say, but I was stumped.  "What song was that?"  He replied, "Engeeo."

Well, we started at track 1 and I asked him to tell me when to stop.  "This one, Mommy!" B-I-N-G-O...there was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name...B-I-N-G-O.

Top five updates from us:

1)  Mike is doing AWESOME.  He's graduated physical therapy and had his 10 week check up today.  Slowly life returns to normal and he's basically pain free.  Truly amazing!
2)  Luke is everything that a healthy, spunky, 31-month old should be.  He migrated to a big-boy bed this summer, he loves Puff the Magic Dragon, he continues to love all things associated with trains, and he is a mighty independent kid (gee, where does he get that from?)
3)  We have entered the Apple world with a new iMac.  Once I figure out how to insert a picture, I'll post a recent one of Lukeman.
4)  We had the most wonderful visit with our dear friends, the Tiemans!  Lots of great pics and Luke discovered how wonderful it is to have two doting young ladies at his beck and call for 3 days.   See previous comment about
5) Still no serious bites on the house.  We continue to wait patiently on that front.  Great feedback, but no one seems to be buying right now.  Bring on another tax credit!

Family is amazing.  We could not have gotten through this summer without the various friends and family who gave up their free time to come and do work for us.  Thank you, everyone, for all the hands and meals and prayers.  In general, 2010 has not been our best year, but we figure that it must be better from here on out.  Plus, it's September - wonderful fall-like temperatures and the start of college football.  Exciting things ahead!

Update:  I figured it out!
