Some good news

No, I'm not pregnant! We've had a crazy couple of months. The van was in the shop for 2 weeks total. Doug spent a month in Ohio. Not all at once, thankfully. Will got a strep infection on his skin, then two weeks later Aiden got strep throat but was never really sick and never said anything. The strep throat turned into scarlet fever. Then he had an allergic reaction to the meds. We went to the Dr. twice in three days! All the kids had to be on antibiotics for ten days. I felt like I had a pharmacy in the fridge. Everyone is healthy now! The really good news is that insurance agreed to pay more for our new roof we have to get. Back in January we had a pretty bad ice storm and a branch landed on the house. We didn't think the damage was that bad but we later found out it was. We also had a lot of wind damage that we didn't know about. We hadn't really argued with the insurance people much. They actually called us after they got our estimate and told us they weren't going to pay anymore. Then we got a couple more calls from them and they decided to pay the rest! They are saying the damage is from 2 different storms so we do have to pay 2 deductibles. Which is okay. We can handle that much better then having to pay for most of the roof. Now hopefully the new roof will go on soon.
