Getting a little normalcy again

Since my last post things have pretty much stayed the same.  I feel more energy and trying to get out a little more. (I still have to be careful of germs and really large crowds).  I only see the doctors every other Friday (but continue weekly blood draws).  Still have a friend fighting hard.  She wasn’t doing well for weeks and after getting her “last rights” Friday night she woke up Saturday a whole new person.   Whether you believe in miracles or not she is certainly showing me they are true.  I hope things are going to stay positive and she is out of the hospital soon.

 I still pick and choose what I want to do.  I’ve painted a wall downstairs, had COIT clean all the rugs, our large sectional and Jeff’s car professionally. I cleaned out the kids closets and got rid of TONS of stuff that doesn’t fit. (Damn kids growing too fast.) This Friday I am going to walk 2-2.5 miles of a 5K race to raise money for the school.  Actually excited about it…..cuz I know I can do it! 

Just last week my other cousin (wife) brought her new baby boy Noah over to the house on her way from San Jose.  Noah is 5 months old with the craziest hair you’ve ever seen.  It sticks up no matter what you try and do.  She and her family stayed for dinner and we caught up.  I am so lucky I got to see them.

McCall is still doing well with soccer.  She is an awesome forward and a great scorer.  I love watching her games again. Callie had her first gymnastics meet last Saturday and took 1^st place on floor, bars and vault.  Then she took 1^st place in all-around for her age division. (Considering the night before she stepped on a nail at a friend’s house and had to go to insta-care for a tetanus shot and have her foot wrapped up.) I was one proud mama and she smiled all day.  

Obviously I am excited for Halloween.  I’ve bought some new stuff and have some fun ideas I want to try to make. I really want to get my decorations out but I think I’ll wait a few more weeks.
