Update

Well time flys when you are having fun!! Arighty! Hold onto your chairs because here is the update of what has happened since the last post in April.

One month (exactly) from when we had our sweet little Bryce, Zane was hospitalized. It was a scary weekend. He had been acting weird from week or two and I couldn't decide if it wsa from having a new baby or something else. One night I was sitting on the floor talking to Brian and listing the symptoms that it seemed like Zane had. He was thirsty all the time, going to the bathroom a lot, weting the bed at night, always hungry, and not acting like himself. As I was naming these things off to Brian it hit me, he had diabetes. So we took Zane to Brian's office first thing in the morning (because of course it was a Saturday) and tested his blood sugar and his urine for sugars. Both tests came back positive. We went straight from the office to the hospital where they admitted him and started working at getting his blood sugars back to normal (they were in the 700s). After a crash course in diabetes care they felt comfortable sending him hime with us. I wasn't so sure I wanted to bring him home yet, but with prayers and blessings, he came home. Brian knew the medical side of diabetes and I knew the diet side so our powers combined and we have been really lucky, and so far haven't had too many scares. The worst is when I get calls from the school secretary or his teacher and they are in tears. He still has his ups and downs but he really is a trooper and handles it very well and is learning how to read his numbers as well.

Shortly after this all hit the fan, we packed up and moved to Burley Idaho where Brian had accepted a job in Rupert. Its only a small commute and he really seems to like it and the others he works with. He is an offical family practice doctor in a small office behind the hospital. He also works in the ER a few days every other month. Its sooo nice not being in school anymore but with that also comes the repayment of many student loans which isn't awesome, but what can you do.

We have been redoing a few things in our house, we put in carpet ( the entire living room was tile) and we put hardwood in the dining room where they had carpet (light colored). We have painted and painted, and have more painting to do but all in good time. The kids started school and have been trying to adjust to a new place, it seems harder on Tyler. I joined a volleyball league and get to get out of the house once a week and have fun. Brian finished his first triathlon and sign up for his second. Life is crazy and flying by lightning fast.

We spent Thansgiving and Christmas in Burley and got to see family from both sides. Its fun being closer to everyone and watching the kids grow with their cousins. I have every hope of posting more pictures soon after this post so come back soon!
