Family Update!

I finally figured out how to load photos onto the blog using Windows 8!!!

 We are enjoying our new home and neighborhood.  We have very friendly and some of our neighbors are also very watchful.  A word to the wise do not toilet paper our home or car unless you want a visit from the Puyallup Police Department. (A few years ago we had some youth toilet paper our car)  We have an older neighbor who stays up all night and closely monitors the area.  She recently hosed down Zachary and Isabella when they screamed because they discovered a snake under a rock in one of the empty lots.  Needless to say, our watchful neighbor is adjusting to The Walker Family.  Our other neighbors on the other hand, are very considerate and thoughtful.  The other day when Bella was sick my next door neighbor mowed and edged the yard.  She also has helped me with the flower beds and other plants.  She is very friendly and nice.

We have been doing some home improvement projects and slowly getting settled.  The kiddos are finishing up the school year in Kent and are getting excited to begin their new school in the fall.  Kirk is adjusting to the commute and has figured out about three shortcuts up to the college.  I have been busy helping the kiddos adjust and taking them up to school.

As far as the bleed recovery as usual it is coming along.  I have my good and bad days.  As you will see in the blog I went on a five mile walk that was challenging for me, but I did it.  Right now I'm still working on recognizing when my brain and body are fatigued.  Seriously I have missed some of my activities that I could do with ease prior to the bleed. However, each week, month, and since I'm almost to my second year, each year I can see the gains that I'm making.  I still miss pieces of my old self and yet still embracing pieces of my new self it is a work in progress.

Enjoy our photos!!!!
