President's Day weekend

We are finally able to get things back to normal after the robbery. We got the new door put in and Shannon and Cindy convinced me to give a splash of color to the house so the door was painted blue. I finally got a new camera so I can take pictures again though I still need to learn the ropes of the new settings.
Over the weekend Shannon and Nic went snowboarding so we watched the their kids. It was fun though Payton just flies from one thing to another. One of the favorite toys is the Montgomeryville that Cindy made for our kids when they were little and now the grandkids like it. it is a flannel sheet we spread out and it is a little town that you can play cars on. This holiday weekend weather has been something as it is nice in the morning and then gets cold and snows in the evening.

This week Maddie had some demanding experiences. She was asked to stay over night each night at work and sleep in the room with a lady who was passing away named Afton. She stayed there from Sunday to Thursday and then Afton passed away on Friday during the day. Also during the week she had to respond to a car wreck she saw and had to help a guy who was thrown out of the car when it got hit. She was the first responder and had to stay there until other help arrived. That is a lot of responsibility for a 19 year old.
