Tyson's Birthday # 23

Happy Earth Day Birthday Tyson!!!

Tyson turns 23 on the 22nd of April. I really feel lucky to have the children I do. We (Neil, Tyson, and I) drove to Island Park this afternoon to look at some lots. We are thinking of parking our trailer there for the summer. The roads where the lots are were still snowed in, so we hiked back in through the snow. Tyson helped me on some of the steep and deep spots. We were talking on the way home about how much help he was on the Scotland/England trip and how much shopping he endured!

Tyson loves music and concerts, photography. movie-making, everything electronic, skateboarding, running, traveling, and playing with his nephew and nieces. He wants to

be a psycho-social worker and has taken nearly every ISU class in this area.

I thought the tree picture was a nice one for Earth Day. Happy Birthday!!

Technology Life at the Christensens/ Health Update

These are my two technology experts Natalie and Tyson. When I was in grad school, they and Ryan were my personal consultants for all my technology class projects. Natalie just had me create a Facebook account, so I could link up with her and her pictures. I just got hired today for a part-time online English teaching position next fall. I'll be taking two classes before Sept. on on-line teaching and using Blackboard, a digital teaching system--should be interesting. Natalie has been very ill the last week---sore throat, cough and fever. She appears on the mend but is taking an arsenal of medicine. Tyson has about three more weeks of this semester at ISU. He will be happy to be finished but is not too excited about taking stats this summer. Neil had his six-week checkup yesterday with Dr. H. His arm is healing slowly. He starts two week of passive resistance in physical therapy then after that gets to start using his shoulder muscles slowly--I'm not sure if he still has shoulder muscles because he has not been able to use them for six weeks! Hopefully, the worst is over, and he will be getting better.
