We here in the TNKilgore household have had a very busy last couple of weeks. We started off this one by having a bunch of sick people. I stayed home with Carrisa until Wed. We had hoped that the boys wouldn't catch the bug that was going around but inevitably Kendra was at the doctors office with them by Friday.
We had Carissa's cardio check up on Wed. the Doc is concerned that her pulmonary artery isn't growing at a rate that will allow it to keep up with the rest of her body so we are going to do an MRI as soon as possible to get a better picture of what's going on and then create a game plan for future treatment. Everything else is going rather well though. The liver Doc is super pleased with her growth and development shes 15lbs 6oz. and 26 inches long. She tries to mimic mommy all the time and wants to eat our food @ dinner time (she'll eat baby food but doesn't like it to much).
Tyler and Drew are getting to be a handful, they hurt me when we wrestle now. They both continue to make honor roll at school and are becoming very independent.
I'm still waist deep in class work @ work training to get my green belt in MTSU's Six Sigma program. I've recently headed up and co-led a couple of projects that will save our solution center $400,000 annually so I'm pretty stoked about that.
Kendra continues on with her work as clinical coordinator @ the Doc's office (fancy name for Nurse manager). With her winning personality she made quite a few friends and not many enemies. We're hoping that when I get promoted she can go at least part time maybe working a couple days a week so she can spend more time @ home with the little one. I don't think she could ever quit work completely unless I made enough money for her to go shopping every day(she gets bored easily).

Well that's all until next time hope all is well with everyone.

Chase apparently is familiar with the Six Sigma program and it sounds very impressive. Good for you, Carl! 400K is nothing to sneeze at, so I'm sure they're all very happy with you at work. Now, are they giving you a cut of that?
We hope to hear more good news from y'all. Love you!

I think it's hilarious that Tyler and Drew are inflicting some wounds on their old man in the wrestling ring!! They are getting quite huge, aren't they?? And congrats on your success at work! Sounds like you're enjoying your job, which is more than I can say at this exact moment! We'll keep Carissa in our thoughts and prayers!!
