Wow, it's been a while since I blogged, and I was doing so well there for a week or so.....
Steven and his marching band went to state competition, and placed 6th. That is a school best, so they were all very happy. One thing I was very glad for was once they got there: the band director did not give them the "Let's give it your all and make the school proud" speech. Instead he told them they were already winners making it to state competition, to soak in all the sights, smells, and sounds - and just enjoy the experience. They left at 5:30 AM and got back home around 11 PM. He is loving band, made a lot of new friends, and is excited about school.
Peter and Mike have been working hard on my shed these last 2 weeks. My dad has been down here helping as needed and Pete is learning the basics of building. Tonight they will finish what they need to so it is weather tight, then the siding will wait until spring. Yeah!! That means that this week I can start parking in the garage again.
Zach has a surgery date scheduled for Dec 28, arriving at the hospital on the 27th. This is the big one, with a 2 week hospital stay before he is allowed to come home. I think he will have 3 tubes left in his belly when he comes home, and the school is going to play it by ear if he feels good and everyone is behaving at school, he can return with the tubes in. I don't want to have him miss too much.
Molly is making sounds now similar to words. I think she tries to say "more", "uh-oh", "mom". And uses them appropriately. She is walking quickly holding our hands, pulling herself up on everything, and finally cut that tooth she was working on for so long. 2 teeth left to go.
And me? Well it's a good day if I can get a shower, go into the bathroom without anyone knocking on the door bothering me, and staighten up the house. The baby is definately keeping me busy.
