Hey guys!
Just an update on my parents and how they are doing. For any of you that don't know, they were in a really bad bicycling accident about a month ago. They got hit by a delivery truck on an access road on an early bike ride on their tandom one morning. My dad got back from the hospital monday of this week and my mom got home about a week before him. We had a miniature family reunion with all our siblings the week after the accident. It was sooo much fun to have the whole family together and all the kids had so much fun playing together! Melinda and her kids stayed a week and a half after that to help out with my mom being home and getting my dad everything he needed while he was staying in the hospital. She left tuesday of last week and Angela flew in on wednesday. It has been soo much fun hanging out with all my siblings and a major big help to Andrea and I. Andrea and I have been through a lot this past month with the whole experience and it's great to know our siblings are always there to back us up and help us out! 
My mom's 9 broken ribs and vertabrae that broke are healing wonderfully and the doctor said that she is about a week ahead of schedule. She is in better spirits and is going on walks 2 times a day, which the doctor says is AMAZING! She is so strong!!
My dad is still in a wheelchair and will be for at least another 5 weeks, if not more. He is getting around pretty good though :). With one good leg to steer himself and one good arm to roll the wheelchair he goes on walks with us sometimes, and needs minimal help up hills and hard places. But the doctor says that he is healing up perfectly! And they have no concerns. Hopefully with all the pins and plates they put in his body he won't have problems going through security at the airport, haha. Since the beginning of this, and throughout the whole thing he continues to crack jokes about everything! He's the best.

The shower is almost done!!! Because of my dad's injuries he can't go up or downstairs! Yikes. So the middle floor is his home for the next little while. Because of this we had to add a shower onto the bathroom on that floor. The guy that is helping us says it should be ready for use by monday! It'll feel good to have that bathroom done, and ready for use. 
I couldn't be more thankful for everyone who has helped us out soo much through all this!
