The Dalton Report

Hey, everybody! Hope you're doing great.
Well, we have big news! Barry has decided (at the urging of his boss and colleagues) to pursue his Electrical Engineering degree! He enjoys what he does now, but is being encouraged to receive his degree so that he will a. have better job security as an engineer and b. be able to take on projects at work in a different, more challenging capacity. I am very proud of him! He will start next month, part-time, so pray for him as he prepares for his new adventure!
Ok, what else is going on? The boys had a check- up yesterday with their new pediatrician, Dr. Lentz. He's cool, very funny, and didn't talk to me with one foot out the door! Amazing! Also, when I call his office, I actually get to talk to a human. The doctor said they are in great health, yet diagnosed all three with Chronic Spoiledness...
I had my second treatment for the varicose veins in my legs. I can't remember if I posted about this before, and I didn't mean not to, it's no secret. Maybe someone reading this has the same problem, so I will tell you the truth...the treatments hurt, but the pain only lasts the first day, then it's soreness for another day, and back to normal! I watched him inject the vein with solution and POOF! It collapses right then and there. Awesome-especially when you have suffered with the pain and embarrassment of varicose veins for a while. I have one more quick treatment for my left leg and I'm done. I have bruising that will fade, as it did after the last treatment. Insurance has covered this since it was giving me Restless Legs Syndrome and chronic pain and swelling, and my right leg was at risk for clots.
The boys and I will be traveling to Danville to hang out with Mom and Dad and attend Mt. Hermon's VBS next week. I look forward to having time with my parents and I'm glad the boys will get to see their old church friends.
Alright, that's enough. I need to go get more coffee!
Much love!
Enjoy Reese's blues solo at his guitar showcase...you will have to pause my music player and then turn the volume way up on the video, it's very quiet.
