Well, my knee is getting a little better. Either that or I am just getting used to the pain. I can't stand being so limited in my mobility. It's been 2 1/2 weeks already and it still hurts to try to bend my knee or walk on it. I have quit using the crutches and gone back to cooking because seriously, how many corn dogs can one person stand? I am still staying off it as much as possible and it takes very little for me to overwork it and be in a lot of pain. Still, we must carry on!
Dani is doing really well in her piano lessons. On Sunday she played in Primary. Now, her and her sisters are practicing for the Maud Talent Show. Hope that goes well for them. They are so excited to be included.
The school year is getting so close to done. We only have about another month left to go. We are all ready for summer vacation! And, Nicci is already looking forward to next year when she will get her very own Calvert box like Dani and Meli.
Tabi has a whole bunch of teeth these days. So cute until she decides to randomly bite a finger! And, she wants to walk so bad. She is doing some serious cruising and I know that any day now she will build up her confidence and be gone. Then we will really be in trouble.
Mak has been binkie free for 2 full days. The first day was so sad as he sat in his bed crying "binkie where are you, I need you." It was so hard to stay strong though that, but his dentist said on Tuesday that it was starting to affect his teeth so it had to go. So far today, he hasn't asked for it at all.
We are really, really close on the house. It may be done by end of Saturday. I can't wait for it to be done and us to be in. We were too crowded 2 kids ago so we are really ready! Plus, though we have done well, the bills in two places has really brought us to a low level of financial comfort. Not that things aren't generally tight, but 2 sets of bills has really made us feel the strain. Glad to know it is almost over! Now, I just have to figure out how to get the bedrooms set up and us packed and moved while hobbling around in this knee brace, lol.
There is one more thing I would like to share with you today. I recently had the privledge of learning about an incredibly brave little girl and her family. Avery is 5 months old and has SMA type 1. She is not expected to make it past 18 months. Instead of crawling into depression and screaming "why me" she and her family are making every day count. I encourage everyone to learn more about her and this horrible condition. Please take the time to check out her blog called Avery's Bucket List at http://averycan.blogspot.com/ It is a powerful and moving testimony to the strength of her and her family.
