Water Fun

I struggle with liking the whole spring ahead time change.  6:00 felt really early this morning.  Not to mention dark.  I was quite happy to be running in the light in the mornings.  Now it is back to darkness running.  Hopefully it won't be dark for long.  I like to see the potholes in the road before I fall into them. 
I saw Snow White lounging around in a cup full of water the other day.  It amused me.  She looked like she was having fun.
This is an activity the girls enjoy greatly - filling up cups of water and playing with the little dolls.  I think they often have swimming lessons there.  Not sure what other things they do with the water.  They usually make a mess with it, but are pretty good about cleaning it up once they are done.  I occasionally have to remind them.  But it does bring several hours of entertainment to each day.
Abby took a fall on Saturday while walking home from a friend's house.  It's looking better already.  She and Ana were walking home, with the escort of their friends, when Abby fell on the sidewalk and bashed her face.  Ana sent TJ ahead to run here and get me while she stayed with Abby to help her as best as she could.  Two bloody and swollen lips, two loosened teeth, and a scraped nose, mouth and cheek.  She was one sad little girl.  On the plus side, she got to eat special soft foods for supper (yogurt, applesauce, pudding, etc.).  Her teeth aren't bothering her too badly now.  I think they'll tighten back up soon.

    Ouchie! Abby should ask her daddy about falling down and bashing his nose and teeth...though not sure he remembers the first tumble down the basement stairs.

    Fun swimming pools for the little dolls. Love GrammaK

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
