Arizona girls trip Aug 2020

-

 Rhoda and I had no plans for our birthday this year with it being Covid weirdness and not sure if we can travel anywhere. Heather asked us if we wanted to go with her to Arizona to go see her son Britton who was doing kayak tours as a summer job. We decided to go and booked our trip without hesitation thinking it would be cancelled with everything else from Covid. But Arizona stayed open, our trip was a huge success and the whole Covid thing almost seemed irrelevant there. We were outside a lot and doing hikes, kayaking, boating, site seeing, and sometimes we had to put on a mask but not very often. A few things were closed that we couldn't go see, but for the most part we did everything we wanted to and now we want to go back again. Lake Powell was gorgeous, we loved horseshoe bend, we had not seen the Grand Canyon since we were kids together, and just being outside in the sunshine without kids was a nice break. Heather was the perfect person to go with us because she is just like us. She loves beautiful sites, good food, talking all the time, and laughing a lot. I think we travel pretty well together and need another trip!

June was the craziest month I have had in a long time. I am soooo glad it's July! Caleb almost didn't graduate on time and had to pay for summer term. He had one crown that he had to do twice because the lab kept messing it up. The school finally notified us three weeks after graduation that he was OK to graduate and could come checkout. We found out Caleb didn't pass his boards completely and now gets to fly down to California in August to re-do part of it. He has to fly two different patients down too with him, once he finds them. Hopefully he can find one patient that needs both procedures to help save costs. His job in Eugene didn't workout since he didn't pass his boards. They needed someone to start immediately, so they gave it to someone else. The company, Capital Dental, still considers him employed and is keeping his contract. So he still has work, we just have no idea where it will be right now. Hopefully it will be somewhere close to this house we j

Calvin had a bad day

I got a call at work from Krista, the lady who watches my kids. She said Calvin fell and hit his lip and probably needed stitches. I picked up my purse and ran out of work as quick as I could. I was on hold for 15 minutes trying to reach his doctor, which was aggravating. But once they answered I was at Krista's door and could see what was going on. Calvin was playing in a bedroom, tripped, and fell onto the frame of the bunkbed. Which is metal by the way. The sharp edge of it too. Poor kid always falls, but usually it's the forehead that gets the brunt of it. This time it was his lip. The upper part of his gums really. You can see most of the cut here: We finally reached his doctor and took him in. They didn't give him stitches even though it was still bleeding. It's been 8 hours now and it still bleeds when he talks, eats or drinks anything. It has not stopped him from doing his sound effects for cars and trucks so he spits blood everywhere. Of course, I wore
