Happy Valentine's Day!

Never go for a 5 course meal at 8 pm because you suffer all night! Always tastes so good at first but when you can't get out of your seat after the meal because your stomach is hitting the table, learn to say no! John and I went for supper and Grandma and Uncle Matt babysat the girls. The girls loved it because they get to watch TV at Grandma's.
Matt and mom were in Calgary a few weekends ago to watch the Superbowl. Nolan and Matt went to a sports bar to watch some fighting on the the big screen, I think it was that ultimate fighting were there are very little rules.
Matt's MRI results were unchanged since the last time he had one done. Yesterday when I dropped the girls off he was doing his standing exercises and it is so good to see him standing at his full 6 foot 7 inchs. I continue to see small improvements in his posture and longer standing periods. Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer". Thanking the Lord for His continued presence.
Matt has stopped going to the chiropractor for awhile and see how his shoulder is. I am not with him all the time and he very seldom complains so unsure how he is feeling. They came for supper on Saturday and we played some yahtzee. Mom was so mad when I rolled 3 yahtzee's in one game. Actually I don't think she was upset about the yahtzee's as much as the gloating! Or maybe it was the happy dance! Either was she is a poor loser and I am an excellent gracious winner! Matt just laughs at the two of us.
Jonmarie has received her white belt in taekwondoe. She had to break a piece of plywood in half and didn't feel she could do it. Master Rim told her to yell "focus" and "confidence" then strike the board. She broke it the first time and put on such a brave face but when she came to show me the board, her hand was bleeding a bit.
Shaunie continues to go to school full time but is suffering from more anxiety than usual so has gone back to sucking her thumb which she hasn't done since Christmas. She doesn't like school anymore and realizes that she can't keep up academically with the other students. The school as been so good but it is hard to see her when the fear hits. The number one emotion in autism is fear. Prayers for her please, and us too, to know when to intervene and when to hold back.
