Great Weekend

What an awesome weekend we had! It was full of old friends and new friends. I got everything done that needed to get done so that I could relax and enjoy the weekend. We had some really good, insightful talks with the couple that was staying with us. They brought some fresh perspective to our lives on a few things we've been wrestling with. Keith also was able to preach at our church on Sunday and had a great sermon. He talked of maturity and how really, life is not all about us - though we often think it is. So true! I think I'll spend the week digesting all the good things I heard.

Other fun things we did - eat yummy food, eat cheesecake (cheesecake goes above and beyond yummy food and gets its own separate category), play table ping pong (David beat everyone but me, so I guess that officially makes me the best player around - oh yeah), stay up way past our bedtime, tour Wellman (didn't take long), and eat ice cream (also gets its own separate category). There are three pieces of my cheesecake left - it's a lemon-raspberry cheesecake. Would it be bad if I ate some for breakfast?

Due to the long weekend and needing to catch up on things and the fact that we are having more people over later tonight, I decided we will take the day off from school. I was planning on doing it, but I need a recovery day. The kids will be happy. So will I. : )

Picture of the day - girls playing at in-law's pond. They were very happily making big holes in which to sit.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
