This week has been extremely busy for everyone in the Wilkinson/Franklin/Ellerman household. As most of you know , Troy, our working partner had a heart episode last Friday on the job. He is doing well , resting at home , but that means a lot more work to go around. Oh yeah , bonus, Mom and Dad left for an association in Georgia and after that North Carolina , so we have been shorthanded this week big time. Poor Brent is totally exhausted , thank God , Jimmy could help out with our biggest property this morning !
While Brent has been running around in circles , I have been taking Connor to swimming lessons. We had a horrible time getting ready for his first lesson Tuesday morning. He had every excuse in the book for why he didn't need or want to go . Finally it came down to " It's not your choice , you ARE going , and don't you dare embarrass me." So, down the road we went ( with a serious case of the pooch mouth ) , I left Owen with Gran Gran ( Sister Bobbie) for the first lesson. I could just see myself in uncharted territory holding Noah and trying to make sure Owen didn't end up in the pool with all of his clothes on. No thank you ! So in we walked ( after threatening him within an inch of his life) to Ms. Karen's pool area, and it was like a light went on. He LOVES it! I'm soooooooo glad , for those of you who have kids this age you know that sometimes it can go either way. Now he tells everyone he sees about his magic toes and airplane arms that help him float. Confidence booster , BIG TIME! Now he wants to do everything he has liked but been afraid to try. Which reminds me , I have to look up golf lessons for a 4 years old :-D Who knows ... maybe we have the next Michael Phelps or Tiger Woods! Either way...

Good for Connor and his magic toes!!
Did they ever decide if Troy actually had a heart attack or not?
I need some magic toes! Although I think my belly will help me stay afloat if I fall in the water!
I am really glad that this ended up being a good experience for Connor and bonus... IT MAKES HIM TAKE A LONGER NAP! :p
Hey for $20, I'll take him to family fun center and teach him how to play mini golf! Ha Ha (j/k)
Thanks so much for the offer Kelly but I think we will be reconsidering the golf lessons after finding out how much they cost! Don't you all agree they should be less for shorter people ?! I mean come on , he's only four and if he does make out like Tiger we will be sure to give you a cut and credit for the help. GOOD GRIEF!
Bekah , they are calling it a heart episode. Who knows what that means... I think I would get a second opinion , but nobody asked me :-)
An episode??? That's a little vague for a heart-related diagnosis. Talk about paying for nothing.
You aren't kidding! Hello , chest pains , elevated enzyms... HEART ATTACK!
