We were also able to spend a day in Grays Harbor, where Bing grew up (although, I don't think he will ever truly "grow up"). We had a wonderful visit with Great Uncle Burch and Bebe, time with his sister and most of her family, Tiffany, Nick and Danica, and a dinner without Maddox. Thanks Sis! We also drove by their old cranberry farm which now looks like a dumpy old field. The new owners apparently aren't into cranberries or the appearance of their property, too bad. The tide was low and we could see the oysters, however, they aren't easy to get to, so we looked from afar.
Mama Marcia drove us back to Seattle on the 3rd and we stayed one more night with our sweet little angel, Kathy. Our friends Bobby and Jaime and their little girl Ashley came down to visit with us for the evening. They treated us to some amazing sushi and then we walked around the Space Needle, sipped on Starbucks, ate ice cream and called it a night. Sorry we didn't get a picture with Jaime in it!
Although the circumstances were terrible, it was so nice to be able to spend time with people we love. We got to spend a week and a half with Bing's mom, and big chunks with his dad, sisters, and all of his good friends that came to visit. Thank you: Perrines, Randich family, Brody, Buster, Dan, Steven, Mikey, Bobby and Jaime.
Bing is healing nicely, but won't be able to work for another 3 weeks. Even then he will be on restricted, light duty work for another 6 months. We are exploring the idea of him going back to school and pursuing a new career. Right now, I am working full-time to make up for Bing not working. People have been very generous with us, which has helped us cover our bills thus far. There are two benefits in the works to help even further, one in Billings and one on the Harbor. So far, we have only received the bill for his ambulance rides totalling..... $3,000. Pretty exciting right?

You can do. You have what it takes. It's going to be okay.
And I enjoyed catching up with you the other day. Let's do that more often, yes?
Great pictures in your slideshow. The one of all of you on Bing's hospital bed is my favorite - you all look so photogenic! And, I don't think Maddox could get any cuter...really.
Darling Lane... I bought Mega Million Lotto tickets with my favorite numbers that project over the next 6 weeks. When I win $10 MILLION, all your worries will be behind you. Love mama
