All,
I have been slacking on updating the blog. A lot has been going on here in Sienkoland. It is hopefully the END of what has been an eventful month or so. Here is the chronicle of our misfortunes.
First, I love my iPod then my watch. A ticket from the cops while going to get a new watch. Next, I drop my laptop and break the screen so I am forced to use it as a Desktop computer attached to our Desktop Computer's Monitor. That was followed by Andrea getting into a car crash which luckily Andrea and Kacey were relatively unharmed. Next came a bout of shingles brought on by the stress of everything for Andrea which was immediately followed by a severe sinus infection that knocked me off my feet and now…..Kacey has Chicken Pox. The poor little girl is fighting through it, but is not comfortable at all. We are due for some good luck here so cross your fingers.
Andrea is busy with work and her club volleyball season is in full swing and my high school team is undefeated and should keep that up during this week’s games.
Kacey is having, or at least is supposed to have, her 1st Birthday party on March 28th at Lake Poway. Andrea and I are hoping that she is doing well enough to be around people then. Especially since all of my parents are coming in from Illinois and Andrea’s parents are coming down from Irvine and in from Tucson, AZ. Also, Papa is flying down from Washington to see his great granddaughter. We are really excited everyone is coming. We have not had much grandparent interaction so the breaks for Andrea and I are going to be much appreciated.
We wish that Kacey could talk to us to let us know how she is feeling. That is really the hardest part of this whole ordeal. Today was the hardest on me since she came home from the hospital. She was in pain and I couldn’t do much to help her. Lots of slapstick comedy to try to make her laugh. A headache is a small price to pay for a couple of cheap laughs between crying.
Last week we had a garage sale and got rid of a whole bunch of crap…I mean treasures. We made a fair amount of money so it was worth it. Grammy Ellen came into town and was a huge help especially since I was still hurting from my sinus infection.
We hope everyone is doing well and hope spring finds most of you soon.
Sorry most of this post sounds like sour grapes, I promise it isn’t. We are so lucky to have a roof over our head, and great family and friends!!!!
I am going to shut up now and post a crapload of pictures.
Ry and Andrea

Hopefully this is the worst of it. The sores are bigger today, but it doesn't seem like there are any more.
More pictures to come soon.
